• Collaborate with development teams to remediate identified security gaps promptly
• Architect and maintain secure cloud environments in Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.
• Champion best practices for container orchestration, including Kubernetes security, network segmentation, and secure container images.
• Automation & Infrastructure as Code
• Advance automation efforts for provisioning, configuration management, and infrastructure deployment (IaC).
• Define and document standardized operating procedures (SOPs) for secure infrastructure deployment and maintenance.
• Collaboration & Leadership
• Partner with cross-functional teams developers, QA, architects, and operations to embed security and DevOps principles in the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Mentor and coach junior team members on DevSecOps best practices and emerging technologies.
• Implement centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting solutions to track system health and security events.
• Develop incident response processes and lead post-incident reviews to identify root causes and implement improvements.
• Ensure adherence to relevant security and regulatory standards (NIST CSF, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, etc.).
• Develop and maintain security policies, standards, and guidelines in collaboration with management and other stakeholders.
• Keep abreast of emerging trends and technologies in DevSecOps, cloud security, and application security.
• Evaluate and integrate new tools, technologies, and processes to enhance security, reliability, and efficiency.
