This role works closely with non-traditional developers - analysts, business users, and rapid prototypers - to transition experimental or prototype applications into secure, supportable, and production-ready solutions. The DevSecOps Engineer acts as the connective tissue between business-driven innovation and enterprise engineering standards - emphasizing enablement over gatekeeping, while enforcing sound software development lifecycle, security, and operational practices. This position is designed to offload and formalize a significant portion of the day-to-day operational work currently performed by senior engineers, allowing them to focus on higher-order architecture, platform design, and governance. This position is a full-time exempt role and can be based in any of our U.S. office locations and some remote locations., * Partner directly with citizen developers to refactor, harden, and productionize applications built with Python, JavaScript, and low-code/automation platforms. * Guide developers on repository structure, branching strategies, pull requests, and versioning. * Translate loosely defined or experimental solutions into maintainable, supportable codebases. * Establish, document, and enforce SDLC best practices including source control standards, CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and deployment, and environment separation (development, UAT, production). * Create and maintain reusable DevSecOps "golden paths" including standardized pipeline templates, deployment frameworks, and secure configuration and secrets management patterns. * Perform code reviews with emphasis on security vulnerabilities, error handling, resilience, and maintainability. * Integrate and operate automated security tooling: SAST, dependency/vulnerability scanning, and secrets detection. * Work closely with security teams to ensure applications meet enterprise requirements without unnecessary friction. * Support deployments through controlled CI/CD pipelines, eliminating manual or ad-hoc release processes. * Troubleshoot pipeline failures, deployment issues, configuration problems, and environment-specific bugs. * Assist with incident response for citizen-developed applications running in production. * Help remediate security findings and technical debt discovered post-deployment. * Document patterns, standards, and common fixes to reduce repeated friction. * Perform other related duties as assigned. ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Back(end) to the Future: Embracing the continuous Evolution of Infrastructure and Code](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/440-back-end-to-the-future-embracing-the-continuous-evolution-of-infrastructure-and-code) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [DevSecOps: Security in DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/36-devsecops-security-in-devops) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development)
