## Description

We are seeking an experienced DevOps Architect with strong hands-on expertise in DevSecOps, cloud security, and enterprise infrastructure automation to design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable, and reliable DevOps solutions. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in integrating security into CI/CD pipelines, implementing security best practices, automating infrastructure, and ensuring compliance across enterprise technology environments.

The candidate will collaborate with development, security, infrastructure, and operations teams to build secure-by-design platforms, improve deployment efficiency, and strengthen the organization's overall security posture.

Key Responsibilities

· Design and implement enterprise DevOps architecture, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and deployment strategies.

· Lead DevSecOps initiatives by integrating security controls throughout the software development lifecycle.

· Implement and manage secure CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or Azure DevOps.

· Integrate security scanning tools for static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and container vulnerability scanning.

· Implement infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, or similar tools, incorporating security and compliance controls.

· Establish secrets management, identity and access management (IAM), privileged access controls, and secure authentication practices.

· Design and implement container security solutions using Docker, Kubernetes, and associated security tools.

· Work with cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform to build secure and resilient infrastructure.

· Define and enforce security policies, compliance standards, vulnerability management processes, and automated security gates.

· Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to conduct risk assessments, address vulnerabilities, and remediate security findings.

· Implement centralized logging, monitoring, alerting, and incident response capabilities.
