## About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Encryption Engineer (DevSecOps & SDLC) who is passionate about building secure-by-design solutions and transforming encryption from a point-in-time security requirement into a seamlessly integrated engineering capability. This individual will play a critical role in advancing the organization's Encryption-by-Design strategy by embedding standardized encryption and key management controls directly into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), DevSecOps pipelines, and enterprise platform engineering patterns.

\n

The ideal candidate combines software engineering, automation, cloud, and cybersecurity expertise with a strong understanding of cryptography and data protection principles. They are skilled at influencing engineering practices, building reusable security capabilities, and partnering with developers, architects, and platform teams to ensure encryption is implemented consistently, efficiently, and at scale.

\n

This role is well-suited for an individual who enjoys solving complex security challenges through automation, creating developer-friendly security solutions, and driving enterprise-wide adoption of secure design patterns. They should be comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where security, developer experience, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance must coexist., * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify root causes and design sustainable solutions.
\n

 * Effective communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
\n

 * An ownership mentality that prioritizes measurable outcomes, operational excellence, and long-term sustainability.
\n

 * Curiosity and a passion for learning in evolving areas such as cloud security, cryptography, platform engineering, DevSecOps, and software security.
\n

 * A commitment to reducing operational risk by replacing fragmented manual processes with scalable, automated security controls.
\n, * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
\n

 * 8+ years of experience in software engineering, DevSecOps, platform engineering, cloud engineering, cybersecurity engineering, or a related technical field.
\n

 * Experience integrating security controls into SDLC processes, CI/CD pipelines, and modern software delivery platforms.
\n

 * Working knowledge of encryption technologies, cryptographic key management, secrets management, certificate lifecycle management, and enterprise data protection controls.
\n

 * Experience implementing security automation within development pipelines using tools such as Harness, Jenkins, or similar platforms.
\n

 * Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code technologies, including Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent automation frameworks.
\n

 * Proficiency in one or more programming or scripting languages such as Python, Java, Go, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, PowerShell, or Bash.
\n

 * Experience with cloud platforms including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), OCI, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
\n

 * Familiarity with containerization and modern platform technologies including Kubernetes, OpenShift, and cloud-native application architectures.
\n

 * Understanding of software architecture principles, secure coding practices, application security testing, and developer enablement methodologies.
\n

 * Knowledge of industry security and compliance frameworks such as NIST, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, or equivalent regulatory standards.
\n

 * Experience with enterprise key management platforms, Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), cloud KMS services, secrets management platforms, or certificate management solutions is highly desirable.
\n

 * Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, Azure Security Engineer Associate, AWS Security Specialty, Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS), or similiar certifications are a plus.
