THE ROLE

You will own two critical areas for Nova: Building/maintaining our infrastructure (IaC, cloud, and connectivity) so that Nova works reliably and securely for customers across cloud environments and strengthening and maintaining our ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance posture.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Infrastructure as Code & Connectivity

  • Design, build, and maintain Terraform modules for Nova's core infrastructure (primarily AWS).
  • Manage deployments via GitHub Actions or equivalent CI/CD tooling.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve connectivity issues between Nova infrastructure and customer environments — networking, VPNs, firewall rules, CIDR conflicts, routing, etc.
  • Collaborate with customer IT / network teams to design secure, robust connectivity solutions.
  • Support deployments and connectivity for customers using AWS, GCP, Azure, or hybrid on-prem/cloud setups.
  • Build automation and tooling to detect, surface, and debug connectivity and infra issues proactively.

Security & Compliance

  • Maintain and improve Nova's information security management system aligned with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2.
  • Use Vanta (or similar tooling) to manage evidence collection, control mapping, policy and documentation updates.
  • Work with internal teams to ensure continuous adherence to security and compliance requirements.
  • Support external audits, pen tests, and remediation planning.
  • Automate and document security and compliance processes to enable scaling as we grow.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

  • Significant experience (5+ years) in cloud infrastructure / DevOps / security engineering.
  • Hands-on experience with Terraform in production environments.
  • Strong expertise in AWS (VPC, networking, VPNs, IAM, compute, etc.).
  • Solid networking fundamentals (VPNs, subnets, routing, firewalls, CIDR planning, DNS, etc.).
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks — ideally SOC 2 and ISO 27001 (or willingness to learn quickly).
  • Experience with CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions or similar).
  • Ability to communicate clearly with internal teams and external customer stakeholders.
  • Problem-solving mindset: debugging connectivity, infra and cloud issues across environments.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience with GCP or Azure (or other cloud providers) — especially in multi-cloud setups.
  • Familiarity with security/compliance tooling (e.g., Vanta, GuardDuty, CloudWatch, etc.).
  • Prior exposure to enterprise or regulated customers (finance, manufacturing, SAP, etc.).
  • Experience working in fast-paced, early-stage or startup environments.
  • Automation and scripting skills to build internal tooling or diagnostic utilities.

BENEFITS & PERKS

  • Small, mission-driven team shipping production AI every sprint.
  • Competitive salary, meaningful equity, full health, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Inclusive culture that prizes curiosity, impact, and continuous learning.

Even if every box isn’t checked, we encourage 0→1 builders, fast learners, and team players to apply.
