• Conduct threat modeling, risk assessments, and security reviews of infrastructure and deployment processes.
• Automate security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA) within CI/CD workflows.
• Maintain and enhance logging, monitoring, and alerting systems to detect and respond to anomalies.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, or GDPR.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
• Proven experience in DevOps and DevSecOps roles.
• Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their security models.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Bash, etc.).
• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and container security.
• Familiarity with security tools like Vault, SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, Snyk, or Checkmarx.
