• Maintain and enhance integrations with core CI/CD and source control platforms, including Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise, and related pipeline controls.
• Support scanning and enforcement workflows that help development teams identify, track, and remediate hardcoded credentials in source code.
• Build and improve self‑service remediation portals that allow users to review findings, validate results, take remediation actions, and drive compliance activities at enterprise scale.
• Maintain active services, application components, and supporting infrastructure across Linux, Windows, containerized services, and database layers.
• Improve reporting data used to track scan results, remediation progress, compliance status, and platform adoption.
• Troubleshoot data quality, service performance, failed jobs, integration issues, and user‑reported defects across the application stack.
• Partner with security innovation, DevSecOps, and application teams to prioritize backlog items, deliver enhancements, and keep the platform aligned to enterprise needs.
• Support ongoing improvements to platform reliability, automation, user experience, and operational support processes.

• Experience integrating applications with CI/CD and source control platforms such as Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise, Jenkins, or similar tools.
• Ability to troubleshoot pipeline integrations, service endpoints, API calls, failed jobs, permissions issues, and application‑level defects.
• General understanding of secrets management, secure credential handling, privileged identity concepts, and secure software delivery practices.
• Ability to work directly with technical teams, translate support issues into backlog items, and deliver practical fixes without heavy oversight.

Preferred Qualifications
