Description

The Cybersecurity Engineer (DSOP) builds and operates CMCC's secure DSOP pipeline to enable rapid, safe development and onboarding of Capability Provider applications. This role integrates automated SAST/DAST/container security and SBOM/SCA scanning, enforces secure coding gates, validates cyber artifacts, and ensures all pipeline evidence is routed to Infrastructure TO for Operational Baseline updates.

• Build, enhance, and operate DSOP cyber pipeline stages (SAST, DAST, container scanning, SBOM/SCA).
• Implement pipeline blocking rules for Critical/High vulnerabilities.
• Integrate cyber validation tasks into CI/CD for multiple environments.
• Perform functional validation of CP/External artifacts when possible; deliver validated cyber outputs to Infrastructure TO.
• Produce RMF/cATO-ready cyber evidence (scan results, mitigation records, SBOM/SCA, logs).
• Validate artifact integrity (image signing, checksum enforcement, provenance tracking).
• Provide direct developer enablement: onboarding into DSOP tools, secure coding guidance, WHY-based mentorship.
• Review, categorize, and drive remediation of CWE/CVE findings across DSOPS, Cloud, CE, and CP teams.
• Validate rollback readiness when cyber gates block promotion.
• Partner with Cloud engineers on early pipeline/environment design and promote secure-by-default automation.
