Job description

Job Summary

The role focuses on developing and integrating security appliances as part of a DevSecOps strategy. This position is critical for strengthening the organization's cybersecurity infrastructure by automating the deployment, configuration, and monitoring processes across various environments. Collaborate with other units to ensure the seamless integration of security tools into Cl/CD pipelines, proactively identifying vulnerabilities and enhancing system resilience. Key responsibilities include managing infrastructure-as-code (laC), supporting security incident response, and ensuring compliance with best practices and regulatory standards. This role bridges security and operational efficiency to support continuous and secure service delivery.

Job Responsibilities

1. Design, develop, and integrate security tools and appliances (e.g., IDS/IPS, SIEM, endpoint protection) into operational environments to support threat detection, response, and mitigation across infrastructure layers.
2. Embed security controls and validation mechanisms into Cl/CD pipelines, ensuring secure code delivery, vulnerability scanning, and compliance checks throughout the software development lifecycle.
3. Utilize Infrastructure-as-Code (laC) tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform) to automate system provisioning, hardening, and security baseline enforcement across on-premises and cloud systems.
4. Establish system monitoring, log aggregation, and alerting mechanisms; collaborate with the SOC and response teams to support real-time incident detection, triage, and forensic investigations.
5. Ensure all systems and tools align with security policies, standards, and regulatory requirements. Maintain detailed technical documentation for configurations, workflows, and operational procedures.
