Job Description Job Family: Cybersecurity Engineering REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS Reports to: Principal, Cybersecurity Engineering Manager Direct Reports: None POSITION SUMMARY STATEMENT We're looking for a SecDevOps-focused Security Engineer who enjoys embedding security into the software delivery lifecycle and partnering across development, operations, and security teams. In this role, you'll help build secure-by-default tooling, automate security controls, and design scalable guardrails that make secure engineering easy. Whether your background is traditional or non-traditional, if you're passionate about automation, cloud security, and enabling developers, we encourage you to apply. We're seeking someone who is excited to bring an automation-first mindset and who knows how to balance developer needs with risk-informed pragmatism. You will bridge security, dev, and ops cultures by translating between devs who want speed, security teams who want safety, and ops teams who want stability. We value diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and we are committed to building a team where everyone feels they belong. We especially encourage candidates from underrepresented communities in cybersecurity and technology to apply. Our interview process focuses on problem-solving ability, practical skills, and collaborative mindset. DETAILED RESPONSIBILITIES/DUTIES You will help advance our automation‑first engineering strategy by designing and maintaining the foundational systems that enable secure, reliable, and scalable software delivery across the organization. Build and Evolve CI/CD Foundations Design, operate, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines using modern tooling to enable rapid, consistent, and high‑quality software delivery. Automate build, test, and deployment workflows to reduce manual effort and improve engineering velocity. Implement Infrastructure as Code Use Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar IaC technologies to define and manage cloud infrastructure in a scalable, repeatable, and version‑controlled manner. Ensure infrastructure is provisioned reliably and consistently through code‑driven automation. Drive Configuration Management Excellence Leverage tools such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet to automate system configuration and maintain standardized environments across development, staging, and production. Ensure configuration drift is minimized and environments remain aligned with security and compliance requirements. Advance Containerization and Orchestration Build and maintain containerized application patterns using Docker. Utilize Kubernetes (or equivalent orchestration platforms) to deploy, scale, and operate containerized workloads in a resilient, automated fashion. Lead Scripting & Automation Develop automation using Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar languages to eliminate repetitive tasks and improve operational efficiency. Create custom tooling that supports engineering workflows, observability, and security automation. Strengthen Monitoring & Observability Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting systems-leveraging tools such as Splunk-to ensure environment health, availability, and performance. Develop proactive detection mechanisms to identify and remediate issues before they impact operations. Champion Version Control Best Practices Use Git to manage source code, configuration, and infrastructure artifacts while promoting strong branching, pull request, and code review practices. Help teams adopt workflows that enhance collaboration and code quality. Optimize Cloud Platform Automation Work with Azure and other cloud platforms to build scalable, secure, and highly automated infrastructure. Leverage cloud‑native capabilities to improve performance, reliability, and cost efficiency. Embed Security Automation into Engineering Workflows Automate critical security controls-including vulnerability scanning, compliance validation, policy enforcement, and incident response. Integrate security scanning and guardrails directly into CI/CD pipelines to ensure continuous security from commit through production. Demonstrate Collaboration and Communication: Effective communication skills to collaborate with development, operations, and security teams. Promoting a culture of SecDevOps and automation within the organization. Automating the build, test, and deployment processes to ensure rapid and r
