- Develop automated vulnerability management workflows to streamline detection, prioritization, remediation, and validation.
- Establish and maintain security policies, quality gates, and automated compliance checks within software delivery pipelines.
Software Supply Chain & Container Security- Strengthen software supply chain security by identifying risks associated with open-source dependencies, third-party packages, build artifacts, and application components.
- Implement and enhance container and image security scanning, identifying vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security risks within containerized application environments.
- Integrate dependency analysis, container scanning, and software supply chain security controls into CI/CD workflows.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to remediate vulnerable dependencies, insecure container images, and software supply chain exposures.
- Improve the security and integrity of software build, packaging, and deployment processes.
CI/CD Security Integration & Automation- Design, develop, and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines using GitHub, GitHub Actions, GitHub Advanced Security, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GCP Cloud Build, or similar platforms.
- Integrate SAST, SCA, container scanning, dependency analysis, and automated vulnerability detection directly into development workflows.
- Configure and optimize GitHub Advanced Security capabilities to support automated code scanning, dependency security, and vulnerability remediation.
- Develop scripts, reusable automation, and security integrations to reduce manual intervention and improve security efficiency.
- Implement automated security quality gates, policy enforcement, and remediation workflows that support rapid, secure software delivery.
- Enhance pipeline security, stability, and scalability across hybrid cloud and enterprise environments.
AI-Assisted Security & Intelligent Automation- Leverage AI-powered development and security tools to accelerate vulnerability analysis, remediation recommendations, and secure code improvements.
- Utilize technologies such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity, or comparable AI-assisted engineering platforms.
- Apply LLMs, AI agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and AI-enabled workflows to improve security analysis and developer productivity.
- Explore and implement AI-assisted approaches to vulnerability triage, security finding correlation, code remediation, and automated security reviews.
- Evaluate emerging AI-driven security capabilities and identify opportunities to strengthen existing DevSecOps processes.
- Validate AI-generated security recommendations and code fixes to ensure accuracy, reliability, and alignment with enterprise security standards.
Scripting, Engineering & Cross-Functional Collaboration- Develop and maintain scripts and automation solutions that integrate security tooling with application development and CI/CD environments.
- Troubleshoot complex security integration issues across development pipelines, application environments, and security platforms.
- Partner with application developers, DevOps engineers, and cybersecurity teams to implement practical, scalable security solutions.
- Provide hands-on technical guidance for secure development, vulnerability remediation, and application security automation.
- Continuously evaluate and improve security tooling, processes, and engineering practices.
Required Qualifications- 10+ years of experience in DevSecOps, Application Security, Secure Software Engineering, DevOps, or related technical disciplines.
- Strong hands-on DevSecOps engineering experience, with a primary focus on application security integration and automation rather than traditional infrastructure operations.
- Advanced expertise in SAST, SCA, vulnerability management, and application security testing, including the ability to analyze findings and drive code-level remediation.
- Demonstrated experience securing software supply chains, open-source dependencies, and containerized application environments.
- Hands-on experience with container and image security scanning, vulnerability identification, and remediation.
- Strong GitHub and GitHub Advanced Security experience, including integrating security capabilities into development workflows.
- Proven experience designing, implementing, and automating security controls within CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong scripting and automation background, with the ability to build custom security integrations, automate scanning workflows, and streamline vulnerability remediation.
- Practical experience leveraging AI-powered tools, LLMs, AI coding assistants, or intelligent automation for security analysis, vulnerability remediation, or software engineering productivity.
- Experience with enterprise application security tools such as SonarQube, Sonatype Nexus IQ, GitHub Advanced Security, HCL AppScan, Prisma, Qualys, or comparable platforms.
- Strong understanding of secure SDLC principles, application security best practices, vulnerability prioritization, and security governance.
- Proven ability to collaborate directly with application development teams to resolve vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience with AI agents, MCP servers, AI skills, and agentic automation frameworks.
- Hands-on experience with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity, or comparable AI-assisted development platforms.
- Experience implementing automated vulnerability remediation or AI-assisted code security reviews.
- Experience with container security, image scanning, and software supply chain security governance at enterprise scale.
