  • Automate infrastructure provisioning using IaC tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
  • Implement SAST/DAST scanning, container security scanning, and dependency vulnerability management.
  • Support containerized application development and manage Kubernetes-based deployments.
  • Partner with development, QA, security, and infrastructure teams to deliver high-quality software rapidly and securely.
  • Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize build and deployment pipelines.
  • Document system architectures, configurations, workflows, and processes.
  • Recommend and implement continuous improvements across DevSecOps tooling and practices.

  • Experience working with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Familiarity with security automation tools (Snyk, SonarQube, Trivy, etc.).
  • Proficiency with scripting in Python, Bash, or similar languages.
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Skills / Experience

  • Certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS), or equivalent.
  • Experience with monitoring/observability tools (Prometheus, ELK/Elastic, Grafana).
  • Understanding of Zero Trust Architecture, SBOMs, or supply chain security.
  • Exposure to compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, or DoD STIGs.
