• Advocate for and implement automation solutions to streamline workflows and reduce manual intervention in deployment processes.
• Participate in architectural discussions and provide insights on how DevOps practices can support and enhance system design and implementation.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

• Thorough working knowledge of CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps, with a focus on integrating security workflows to enhance the software development lifecycle.
• Container security solutions, particularly AquaSec, and open-source dependency management tools like Mend, to ensure the security and compliance of applications.
• Static Application Security Testing (SAST) methodologies, specifically using Checkmarx, to identify vulnerabilities in code and enforce secure coding practices.
• Code quality analysis tools, including SonarQube, to maintain high coding standards and improve overall software quality.
• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Docker environments, with a strong understanding of container orchestration and management.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and CloudFormation, enabling automated and scalable infrastructure deployment.
• Basic programming languages, particularly Python and .NET, for developing custom integrations and automating pipeline processes.
