• Multi-tenant and regulated workloads

• Integrate observability into delivery pipelines:

• Metrics, logs, and traces (e.g., OpenTelemetry)
• Deployment health and rollback signals

• Error budgets
• Deployment reliability metrics

• Act as a principal-level technical advisor across engineering teams
• Set standards and reference implementations for:

• CI/CD
• Secure delivery
• Platform automation

Required Experience & Skill:

• DevSecOps & Platform Engineering

• 12+ years of software engineering experience, with deep focus on DevSecOps, CI/CD, and platform automation
• Proven track record of building and operating enterprise-scale automated delivery platforms
• Strong understanding of software supply chain security

• Extensive hands-on experience with:

• CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins)
• Artifact repositories and registries
• Pipeline-as-code and reusable templates

• Strong experience with one or more cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Deep knowledge of:

• Kubernetes and container orchestration
• Infrastructure-as-Code
• Networking, identity, and secrets management

• Hands-on experience implementing:

• SAST, DAST, SCA
• Container and IaC security scanning
• Policy-as-code (OPA, similar)

• Strong coding skills in one or more languages (e.g., Python, Go, Java, Shell)
• Comfortable debugging complex pipeline and infrastructure issues
• Pragmatic, outcome-driven approach to security and automation
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to Have:

• Experience supporting AI/ML or Agentic AI pipelines
• Familiarity with GitOps tooling (Argo CD, Flux)
• Exposure to regulated or highly audited environments
• Experience contributing to internal developer platforms or golden paths
