Job Summary

We are hiring a DevSecOps Engineer to join the Applications team responsible for embedding security directly into engineering platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and developer workflows. This role addresses the growing complexity of on-premise and cloud-native applications, containerized workloads, and automated delivery pipelines by providing hands‑on technical leadership focused on secure‑by‑default developer experiences and scalable internal security tooling.

Job Duties

• Embed automated security controls into CI/CD pipelines across build, test, and release stages, designing risk‑based security gates and integrating comprehensive security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning) to enable secure‑by‑default development
• Build and maintain internal DevSecOps tooling and platform extensions that scale across enterprise engineering teams, including reusable pipeline libraries, security plugins, and automation frameworks integrated into shared developer platforms
• Track production and cloud environments in real‑time to detect, log, and respond to misconfigurations or intrusions.
• Drive cloud‑native security architecture across AWS and Azure environments, implement security controls for Kubernetes, containerized workloads, and infrastructure‑as‑code using modern security frameworks
• Evaluate and integrate best‑of‑breed security tools aligned to application, pipeline, container, and cloud security needs, driving standardization and consolidation to reduce complexity while improving effectiveness
• Support continuous compliance and governance by translating regulatory requirements into automated engineering controls, enabling audit readiness through automated evidence collection and control mapping
• Collaborate with developers on secure coding and advise IT on safe cloud configurations.
• Lead vulnerability management and remediation across application, pipeline, and cloud environments while participating in threat modeling and architecture reviews to ensure security is embedded at the design level

Qualifications

• Practical expertise with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, including containerization technologies (such as Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift)
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity or equivalent practical experience in DevSecOps or security engineering roles
• Proven ability to build and maintain internal tooling with experience in scripting languages such as Python or Bash, alongside a strong grasp of Linux and Git
• Excellent technical communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate security risks and solutions to engineering teams and business stakeholders
• Strong collaboration and influence capabilities with demonstrated success working embedded within engineering teams and driving security adoption without direct authority
• Experience with modern development practices including Jenkins CI/CD pipeline design, version control systems like Git, and agile development methodologies
• Demonstrates working knowledge of Agile and Scrum practices
