Job description

Adree is seeking a DevSecOps, Architect to support our product development by leveraging technical and analytical expertise to articulate the value of secure, scalable digital solutions. In this role, you will work closely with stakeholders to understand business goals and technical requirements, and clearly demonstrate how target-state DevSecOps architecture and golden path standards can address their needs. You will be responsible for bridging the gap between secure supply chain infrastructure and seamless delivery execution, collaborating across teams to craft exceptional enterprise platforms. By blending infrastructure-as-code, GitOps workflows, automated security gates, and container orchestration, you will ensure our digital products are both highly resilient and fully auditable.

Key Roles and Responsibilities

• Engage with clients and stakeholders to gather requirements and understand their digital product goals.
• Deliver impactful presentations, reference architectures, and documentation showcasing CI/CD pipelines, artifact lifecycles, and environment strategies.
• Support the product and engineering teams in developing secure, high-availability Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters across private cloud environments.
• Provide technical insights and DevSecOps expertise throughout the product lifecycle to drive pipeline patterns, Fortify gates, SBOM/SCA expectations, and Sigstore signing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (including security, testing, and product managers) to foster a DevOps culture and capture feedback to improve infrastructure offerings.
• Stay current with industry trends, market changes, IaC standards using Terraform, and configuration standards via Ansible to position solutions effectively.
• Conduct workshops, architectural reviews, and technical discussions internally and with clients to lead adoption waves and deprecate non-compliant delivery paths.
• Participate in Agile development processes and team alignments, providing technical mentorship to engineers and ensuring smooth integrations with third parties.

Requirements Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.

Experience

• 10–15+ years of overall IT experience, with at least 5+ years dedicated to platform engineering or DevSecOps architecture.
• Proven track record designing enterprise GitOps models using Argo CD into OpenShift or Kubernetes, including multi-environment promotion.
• Demonstrated experience working within government, heavily regulated, or complex enterprise sectors is highly preferred.

Skills & Competencies (Technical & Analytical + Soft)

• Deep proficiency in enterprise DevSecOps platform design, secure supply chain management, and policy-as-code concepts.
• Strong hands-on architectural knowledge of Azure DevOps Server, JFrog Artifactory, HashiCorp Vault, Terraform, and Ansible.
• Expert command over automated testing integrations (e.g., OpenText Service Virtualization, UFT One, UFT Digital Lab, LoadRunner).
• Analytical skills to design monitoring and operational readiness architectures aligned with AppDynamics, BMC, and Azure Monitoring.
• Strategic thinking, adoption leadership, and outstanding documentation skills to drive stakeholder alignment and pragmatic architectural trade-offs.

Experience (summary)

• Target-state DevSecOps reference architecture and golden path design.
• Multi-environment GitOps deployment modeling using Argo CD into K8s/OpenShift.
• End-to-end secure software supply chain implementation (Fortify, Sigstore, Vault).
• Automated testing gate integration and virtualization orchestration.
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and configuration management standardization.
• Enterprise observability and monitoring architecture deployment.

Skills & Competencies (summary)

• Azure DevOps Server & JFrog Artifactory ecosystem.
• Container orchestration (Kubernetes & Red Hat OpenShift architecture).
• Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform & Ansible automation).
• Application security automation (SCA, SBOM, code signing).
• Enterprise monitoring (AppDynamics / BMC / Azure Monitoring).
• Stakeholder relationship management & governance alignment.
• Prioritization and adoption leadership.
• Travel for client-facing activities.
