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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
