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.

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.
