• Implement a robust end-to-end process in partnership with Application Security teams for Code Scanning, Secret Scanning, and Dependency Reviews.
• Establish and enforce policies for secure code development and vulnerability management.
• Automate remediation workflows to streamline vulnerability fixes and improve code quality.

• Design and enhance secure CI/CD pipelines to ensure secure, automated, and reliable software delivery.
• Implement guardrails and security checks (e.g., static/dynamic analysis, software composition analysis) into CI/CD pipelines.
• Standardize and optimize tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or other CI/CD platforms.

• Champion secure coding practices and lead efforts to embed security in all stages of the SDLC.
• Collaborate with development teams to identify and mitigate risks early in the development lifecycle.
• Provide technical leadership for implementing industry best practices in application security and cloud-native environments.

• Develop and manage infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security processes.
• Automate security tasks, including testing, monitoring, and alerting for potential threats.
• Drive continuous improvement through automated patch management and dependency updates.

• Ensure CI/CD and GitHub workflows comply with regulatory requirements (e.g., SOC 2, GDPR).
• Develop and maintain metrics and reporting to demonstrate the Engineering teams' security program effectiveness.

• Serve as a subject-matter expert and mentor for engineers on DevOps and DevSecOps principles and tooling.
• Lead incident response and forensic investigations related to DevSecOps environments.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in Operations, DevOps, DevSecOps, or related engineering roles.
• Expertise in building out application security pipelines and CI/CD platforms using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and/or Azure DevOps.
• Proficiency in programming/scripting languages like Python, Go, or Typescript.
• Hands-on experience with IaC tools (Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure).
• Strong understanding of application security, container security (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud security (AWS or Azure Services) .
• Knowledge of modern software delivery paradigms, including microservices and serverless architectures.
• Familiarity with security frameworks and standards (OWASP, NIST, CIS).
• Exceptional problem-solving skills, communication, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

Nice To Have

• Certifications such as AWS Certified Security, Certified DevSecOps Professional, or CISSP.
• Experience with SAST/DAST tools like SonarQube or Burp Suite.
• Experience hardening SCM codebases using tools such as Legitify, Scorecard or Allstar.
