DevOps Engineer

This role provides Senior -level technical leadership to modernize DevOps and DevSecOps practices across the organization. The position focuses on building secure, scalable, governance-driven CI/CD platforms that enable software engineering teams to deliver high-quality applications faster and more safely.

The engineer will work holistically across pipelines, cloud governance, security automation, and developer enablement, serving as a trusted advisor to engineering teams that may not all have a traditional software background . The role emphasizes enablement, standardization, and automation over manual controls, aligning directly with modern platform engineering and DevSecOps principles.

This is not a Principal Engineer role, but it requires deep expertise, strong influence, and architectural thinking.

Key ResponsibilitiesDevSecOps Platform Leadership

• Define and implement DevSecOps-by-default CI/CD capabilities using Azure DevOps and code-based (YAML) pipelines
• Lead modernization of the DevOps platform, including assessment of current pipelines and recommendation of future-state tooling and practices
• Design and deliver version-controlled, reusable YAML templates that embed security, compliance, and quality gates
• Establish Governance-as-Code, replacing manual audits with automated, policy-driven controls

Security Automation & Compliance

• Perform gap analysis of existing Azure pipelines against internal and external security standards
• Identify hidden vulnerabilities and non-compliant deployment patterns and produce a prioritized remediation roadmap
• Integrate security tooling such as:
• SAST, DAST
• SBOM generation and tracking
• Third-party dependency scanning (e.g., Phylum / Veracode)
• Automate compliance evidence collection and monitoring to deliver real-time, audit-ready reporting directly from pipelines
• Detect and prevent security regressions automatically during build and deployment

Cloud Governance & Platform Enablement

• Support and evolve cloud governance frameworks, particularly those aligned with Golden Paths
• Partner with Architecture, Cloud Center of Excellence, and Security teams to align governance standards with developer workflows
• Embed governance and security requirements directly into pipelines, templates, and shared services
• Contribute to Internal Developer Portal (IDP) capabilities, surfacing real-time security and compliance insights for teams and leadership

Developer Enablement & Collaboration

• Act as a lead technical mentor and guide for teams within the Software Engineering organization
• Help teams adopt modern DevSecOps practices, even when traditional development backgrounds are limited
• Translate security and governance requirements into developer-friendly, automated solutions
• Promote strong software engineering principles within CI/CD and infrastructure workflows

Technology Environment

• CI/CD & Pipelines: Azure DevOps (YAML-based pipelines)
• Version Control: GitHub and GitLab
• Cloud Platform: Microsoft Azure
• DevSecOps Tooling: SAST, DAST, SBOM, dependency/package scanning
• Practices: DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, Governance-as-Code, Agile

• DevOps / DevSecOps engineering
• Azure cloud platform
• CI/CD pipeline design and automation
• YAML pipeline templating
• Git-based workflows (GitHub, GitLab)
• Agile software delivery practices

Advanced Capabilities

• Secure CI/CD pipeline architecture
• Cloud governance and policy automation
• Observability and application performance monitoring
• Internal Developer Platform enablement
• Risk assessment, security posture visualization, and compliance automation

Preferred Experience

• Minimum 5 years of experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale technology solutions
• Deep expertise in at least two of the following:
• Application development
• Cloud infrastructure and networking
• APIs and middleware
• CI/CD platforms
• Virtualization or cloud services
• Databases and system operations
• Experience supporting agile product teams, including guidance on technical debt, risk, and architectural tradeoffs
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps agile planning tools
• Experience with observability, performance monitoring, and telemetry tooling

What Success Looks Like

• Security, compliance, and governance are built into pipelines by default
• Teams deploy faster with fewer vulnerabilities and less manual oversight
• Leadership has a real-time, global view of risk and platform health
• Developers are empowered by clear Golden Paths instead of blocked by process
• Cloud governance is automated, transparent, and scalable
