DevSecOps Engineer

Domain

Cloud Security, DevOps, Application Security (AppSec)

Position Overview

The DevSecOps Engineer will be responsible for integrating security practices directly into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. This mid-level role focuses on automating security controls, managing vulnerabilities, securing cloud infrastructure, and ensuring application security without sacrificing development speed.

Key Responsibilities

CI/CD Security Automation:

Embed automated security testing tools into CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, SCA, and secret scanning).

Cloud & Infrastructure Security:

Hardening cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP) and auditing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) s (Terraform/CloudFormation) for compliance and misconfigurations.

Vulnerability Management:

Analyze scan results, prioritize vulnerabilities, and work directly with software developers to remediate security issues.

Container Security:

Secure containerized applications and orchestrators (Docker, Kubernetes) by performing image scanning and enforcing runtime policies.

Compliance & Policy Enforcement:

Ensure deployments align with security standards (e.g., OWASP Top 10, CIS Benchmarks, NIST).

Requirements

Experience:

In DevOps, Application Security, or Systems Engineering with a focus on DevSecOps practices.

Pipeline Tools:

Proficiency with CI/CD platforms (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps).

Security Tooling:

Experience with security tools such as SonarQube, Snyk, Checkmarx, OWASP ZAP, Trivy, or Aqua Security.

ing/Coding:

Strong ing skills in

Python ,

Bash , or

Go

for building automation wrappers.

Cloud Platforms:

Hands-on experience with cloud security models (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Top 3 Most Important Skills

CI/CD Security Integration & Security Testing:

Hands-on experience embedding automated security scanning tools—SAST (e.g., SonarQube, Checkmarx), DAST, and SCA (e.g., Snyk, Dependency-Check)—into pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).

Cloud Security & Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

Solid understanding of securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and scanning IaC configurations (Terraform, CloudFormation) for security flaws using tools like Checkov or Trivy.

Container & Kubernetes Security:

Expertise in containerization (Docker) security, image scanning, container registry security, and Kubernetes RBAC/policy enforcement (e.g., Aqua Security, Sysdig, Trivy).
