Senior DevOps Engineer

We are seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to join our development team. In this role, you will take ownership of designing and driving complex cloud infrastructure, security integration, and deployment automation for our cloud-native platform. You will operate with greater autonomy than an Engineer, contribute to architectural decisions, mentor junior team members, and serve as a technical authority within the DevOps practice - all while delivering secure, scalable, and highly available solutions.

At Allegion, we are driven by a bold vision: redefining safety while empowering our employees to thrive. When you join our team, you become part of a culture that values innovation, purpose, and excellence. This role offers the benefits of our dynamic hybrid work model-combining in-person collaboration for meaningful moments with the flexibility of remote work. Since hybrid arrangements can vary based on the needs of the individual, team and business, your talent acquisition partner will provide specific hybrid details about this role.

We are committed to fostering a healthy work-life balance and building meaningful connections, ensuring you have the tools, resources, and support needed to excel in any environment. Together, we'll unlock your potential and create a lasting impact.

While this is the current structure and we currently have no plans to change, we reserve the right to make changes to the hybrid schedule as needed at the Company's discretion.
