Position Summary
The Senior DevSecOps Engineer is a hands-on technical leader responsible for embedding scalable security controls, automation, and secure engineering practices throughout the software development lifecycle.
As a member of the Security team, this role partners closely with Engineering, Cloud, Platform, IT, and Compliance teams to automate security processes, improve vulnerability and finding management, and provide timely security feedback without creating unnecessary delivery friction.
A key focus of this role is security automation. The successful candidate will have experience building automated workflows that integrate security tools with engineering and operational systems, including automated ticket creation, routing, enrichment, escalation, remediation tracking, and reporting.
The ideal candidate combines strong DevSecOps and cloud security expertise with hands-on software development and automation experience and is comfortable operating in regulated, cloud-based environments.
Responsibilities
•
Design, build, and maintain automated security workflows across the software development lifecycle and broader security environment.
•
Automate security processes such as vulnerability intake, ticket creation, assignment, enrichment, escalation, remediation tracking, exception handling, and reporting.
•
Integrate security platforms with ticketing, CI/CD, cloud, and engineering systems using APIs, webhooks, scripts, and workflow automation.
•
Embed automated application, dependency, secrets, infrastructure-as-code, container, and API security testing into CI/CD pipelines.
•
Define and implement risk-based release gates, remediation timelines, exception processes, and finding ownership.
•
Build reusable secure pipeline templates, hardened images, self-service security controls, and policy-as-code guardrails.
•
Strengthen security across cloud infrastructure, containers, Kubernetes, identity, secrets management, networking, and deployment processes.
•
Triage vulnerabilities and security findings based on severity, exploitability, exposure, asset criticality, and business impact.
•
Automate vulnerability-management workflows to ensure findings are routed to the appropriate owners and tracked through remediation.
•
Secure source code, third-party dependencies, build systems, artifacts, container images, and software supply-chain processes.
•
Support application security reviews, threat modeling, security architecture reviews, monitoring, and incident-response activities.
•
Translate regulatory and compliance requirements into scalable technical controls and automated audit evidence.
•
Partner directly with Engineering teams to remediate security issues and promote secure development practices.
•
Evaluate and integrate emerging security capabilities and technologies.
•
Develop metrics and dashboards to measure security posture, remediation performance, and automation effectiveness.
•
Lead cross-functional security initiatives and mentor engineers on DevSecOps and secure engineering practices.
