Job description

Location: Onsite, Philippines

About the Hiring Company:
The DevSecOps Engineer embeds security into every stage of the software delivery lifecycle, integrating automated security controls into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure, and working closely with development, operations, and security teams to enable the fast, secure delivery of the gaming platform.

Job Responsibilities:

• Integrate automated security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA, container and image scanning) into CI/CD pipelines, enforcing security gates before deployment.

• Define and maintain security-as-code and policy-as-code controls, including infrastructure as code (IaC) scanning for cloud and on-premises environments.

• Harden container and orchestration platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes, enforcing least-privilege access, image signing, and runtime security controls.

• Manage secrets, credentials, and certificates through centralized secrets management, eliminating hard-coded credentials across pipelines and services.

• Monitor, triage, and prioritize vulnerabilities across code, dependencies, images, and infrastructure, driving remediation with development teams against defined SLAs.

• Automate security baseline enforcement and compliance evidence collection across cloud and on-premises environments.

• Collaborate with development teams to embed secure coding practices, threat modeling, and security requirements early in the development cycle.

• Support incident response and post-incident reviews for security events affecting pipelines, infrastructure, and workloads, driving root‑cause remediation.

• Continuously improve security tooling coverage and accuracy, reducing false positives and mean time to remediate.

• Participate in the on‑call rotation to support production systems.

Key Performance Indicators/Key Success Factors:

• Percentage of CI/CD pipelines with enforced security gates (SAST/DAST/SCA coverage).

• Mean time to remediate (MTTR) critical and high‑severity vulnerabilities.

• Reduction in vulnerabilities reaching production.

• Compliance with security baselines across cloud and on‑premises environments.

• Secrets management coverage, with zero hard‑coded credentials in code and pipelines.

The Successful Candidate:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience: 3+ years in a DevSecOps, DevOps, or security engineering role, ideally supporting high‑availability, real‑time platforms such as online gaming.

• Skills & Knowledge: Proficiency with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions), security scanning tools (SonarQube, Snyk, Trivy, OWASP ZAP), containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code (Terraform), cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), secrets management (HashiCorp Vault), and scripting (Python, Bash).

• Certifications (good to have): Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS), AWS Certified Security – Specialty, GIAC Cloud Security Automation (GCSA), or CISSP preferred.
