Job Summary:


We are seeking a hands-on DevSecOps Lead to join our growing engineering team as a key individual contributor. This role is ideal for a full-stack technologist with strong experience in modern DevOps and security practices, and deep comfort working across CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native platforms, observability tooling, and infrastructure automation.


As a technical contributor, you will be responsible for implementing and optimizing secure deployment workflows, managing container platforms like OpenShift, and enabling operational visibility with tools like Datadog. You'll also collaborate closely with developers, QA, and data teams to support secure, observable, and scalable software delivery.


This is a strategic technical role for someone passionate about automation, platform reliability, and secure engineering practices.

Key Responsibilities:


DevSecOps Implementation

• Design, implement, and manage CI/CD pipelines to support fast, secure, and reliable software deployments.
• Deploy and manage containerized applications on OpenShift or Kubernetes-based environments.
• Maintain and secure container image registries using AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR).
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and application deployment workflows using IaC tools (e.g., Terraform, Helm, Ansible).

Security & Compliance

• Integrate security scanning (SAST, DAST, container scanning) into CI/CD pipelines.
• Apply security best practices across access control, secrets management, image validation, and vulnerability remediation.
• Support compliance and audit needs through policy-as-code and logging controls.

Monitoring & Observability

• Use Datadog or like tools to configure application and infrastructure monitoring, logs, metrics, and alerts.
• Set up dashboards and telemetry to help engineering teams diagnose performance issues and maintain SLAs.
• Support incident response and contribute to post-incident reviews.

Collaboration & Enablement

• Work alongside software engineers to improve deployment practices and system observability.
• Contribute to documentation, onboarding materials, and tooling tutorials for broader team use.

Required Qualifications:

• 4+ years of experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, or cloud infrastructure engineering roles.
• Proficiency with:
  • OpenShift or Kubernetes
  • AWS ECR or equivalent container registry platforms
  • Datadog (or similar observability stacks)
  • CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD)
  • Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Helm, or Ansible)
• Working knowledge of secure development and deployment practices.
• Familiarity with full-stack environments and support for BI/data teams (e.g., enabling dashboards, data pipelines).

Preferred Skills:

• Scripting with Bash, Python, or Go for automation tasks.
• Experience with Docker container image lifecycle and versioning.
• Understanding of cloud networking, IAM, and cost optimization strategies.
