• 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

• 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
