Job Description
Description:
Onsite in Fenton Cary, NC
We are seeking a Senior DevSecOps / Application Security Engineer to join a modern Information Security organization supporting rapidly evolving development environments. This role sits at the intersection of application security, developer enablement, and automation, with a strong mandate to embed security directly into how software and AI-driven solutions are built, tested, and deployed.
As a senior technical contributor, you will focus on securing code, development pipelines, and AI-enabled applications while helping establish governance and standardized security controls across teams that are increasingly writing and deploying their own code. This is a hands-on role for someone who can both build and advise—balancing strong security controls with developer efficiency and delivery velocity.
This is a full-time, permanent opportunity, offering a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. Qualified applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis.
Salary: $122,000 - $145,000/ yr. w2 + benefits
Responsibilities:- Embed security controls into application development workflows , CI/CD pipelines, and code repositories
- Support and guide developers on secure coding practices and secure build processes
- Drive automation and policy-as-code to enforce security requirements consistently
- Secure modern, AI-enabled applications and assess risks introduced by AI in development workflows
- Improve security prioritization and efficiency through automation and intelligent tooling
- Design and implement secure CI/CD pipelines with automated controls such as:
- Static and Dynamic Application Security Testing (SAST/DAST)
- Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
- Secrets scanning and code integrity checks
- Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and container image scanning
- Secure code repositories by enforcing:
- Branch protections and access controls
- Commit signing, code integrity, and version control governance
- Prevent insecure code usage or data exposure (e.g., sensitive data pushed to public repositories)
- Implement and maintain policy-as-code frameworks to enforce security standards automatically
- Secure the software supply chain, including:
- Dependency validation
- SBOM generation
- Validation of third-party and purchased software
- Establish standardized security guardrails as more teams begin building and deploying code
- Ensure data is encrypted at rest and handled securely across development environments
- Partner with identity and data protection teams to strengthen:
- Identity and access controls (IAM)
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP) practices within development workflows
- Evaluate risks introduced by AI in software development and application design
- Help define and implement controls for secure AI-driven applications
- Leverage AI to enhance security monitoring, prioritization, or automation
- Interest in candidates who can write code and potentially build secure prompting or automation solutions
- 7+ years of experience in DevSecOps, application security, security engineering, or platform engineering
- Experience with cloud-native and modern development environments, including containers and infrastructure-as-code
- Strong scripting or automation experience (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash)
- Proven ability to translate security requirements into scalable, automated technical controls
- Practical experience with repository platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, or Bitbucket and related security governance.
- Deep experience with containers (Docker), Kubernetes, and IaC tools including Terraform, ARM, and AWS CloudFormation.
- Strong understanding of software supply chain security, dependency management, and SBOM practices.
- Experience implementing policy-as-code using Azure Policy, AWS Config, OPA, or similar tools.
- Proficiency with scripting and automation such as Python, PowerShell, and Bash and DevOps tooling like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure Pipelines.
- Strong understanding of SDLC and operationalizing controls in engineering environments.
Requires: Strong hands-on experience securing:
- Code repositories (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps)
- CI/CD pipelines and developer platforms
- Approximately 5% travel.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Security, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
