About the Role:Grade Level (for internal use):11
S&P Global's technology platforms continue to expand in scale, cloud adoption, and regulatory exposure. To support secure delivery across multiple product lines, there is a critical need for a senior DevSecOps role that embeds security directly into engineering platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and developer workflows. This role addresses the growing complexity of 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.
Responsibilities and Impact: - 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
- Champion developer-first security experiences by designing "paved road" security patterns, self-service tooling, and standardized integrations that reduce friction while maintaining strong security posture
- Drive cloud-native security architecture across AWS and Azure environments, implementing 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
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams as an embedded security subject matter expert, influencing design decisions and raising overall DevSecOps maturity across the organization
- 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
What We're Looking For: Basic Required Qualifications: - 8+ years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, or DevSecOps roles within enterprise or regulated environments with strong hands-on experience securing CI/CD pipelines and modern application stacks
- Practical expertise with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, including containerization technologies (such as Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift) and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi
- Strong understanding of application security concepts including OWASP Top 10, secure coding practices, and experience with security testing tools such as SAST, DAST, and SCA platforms
- 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, Go, or similar for automation and platform development
- 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 CI/CD pipeline design, version control systems like Git, and agile development methodologies
Additional Preferred Qualifications: - Advanced DevSecOps platform experience including building or extending internal developer platforms, security tooling, and experience with SAST/DAST/SCA platforms such as Snyk, Checkmarx, Veracode, or equivalent security testing solutions
- Cloud security expertise with experience using cloud security platforms (CSPM, CNAPP), secrets management solutions such as HashiCorp Vault or cloud-native services, and zero trust or identity-centric security architectures
- Financial services or regulated industry experience with knowledge of compliance frameworks, audit requirements, and experience implementing security controls in highly regulated environments
- Professional security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or cloud security certifications including AWS Certified Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, or equivalent industry-recognized credentials
