Job Number: R0243006 DevSecOps Engineer, Senior
The Opportunity: Modern engineering teams rely on secure, automated delivery pipelines and cloud-hosted DevSecOps platforms to move quickly without sacrificing security. As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will design, build, harden, and operate CI/CD systems, cloud infrastructure, and container platforms that enable rapid, reliable, and secure software delivery. You'll work with engineering teams to automate everything from code commit to production deployment while embedding security controls directly into the delivery workflow. Your work will enable scalable, resilient cloud environments and frictionless DevSecOps capabilities across multiple programs and platforms.
What You'll Work On: - Build and secure CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions or similar platforms, integrating automated build, test, artifact management, and deployment stages.
- Embed security automation into all pipeline stages, including SAST, SCA, container image scanning, IaC policy validation, and secrets management.
- Engineer, deploy, and maintain cloud-based DevSecOps toolchains on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform - including hosting CI/CD runners, registries, scanning tools, and orchestration components.
- Develop and manage Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK to provision and secure cloud environments, networks, and services.
- Operate containerized platforms using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and GitOps tooling to support automated, reproducible deployments.
- Troubleshoot complex pipeline failures and performance bottlenecks, ensuring reliable and repeatable deployments across multiple environments.
- Implement cloud security best practices, including IAM hardening, RBAC, network segmentation, TLS, reverse proxy designs, and hardened AMIs and images.
- Support observability and platform reliability through logging, monitoring, alerting, and automated remediation.
- Collaborate with developers, cloud engineers, and cybersecurity teams to evolve DevSecOps standards, architectural patterns, and secure deployment strategies.
