About the Role

We are seeking a DevSecOps Engineer to support and scale the organization’s citizen development initiatives. This role works closely with non-traditional developers to transition experimental applications into secure, supportable, and production-ready solutions, acting as the connective tissue between business-driven innovation and enterprise engineering standards.

Responsibilities

  • Partner directly with citizen developers to refactor, harden, and productionize applications built with Python, JavaScript, and low-code/automation platforms.
  • Guide developers on repository structure, branching strategies, pull requests, and versioning.
  • Translate loosely defined or experimental solutions into maintainable, supportable codebases.
  • Establish, document, and enforce SDLC best practices including source control standards, CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and deployment, and environment separation.
  • Create and maintain reusable DevSecOps “golden paths” including standardized pipeline templates, deployment frameworks, and secure configuration and secrets management patterns.
  • Perform code reviews with emphasis on security vulnerabilities, error handling, resilience, and maintainability.
  • Integrate and operate automated security tooling: SAST, dependency/vulnerability scanning, and secrets detection.
  • Work closely with security teams to ensure applications meet enterprise requirements without unnecessary friction.
  • Support deployments through controlled CI/CD pipelines, eliminating manual or ad-hoc release processes.
  • Troubleshoot pipeline failures, deployment issues, configuration problems, and environment-specific bugs.
  • Assist with incident response for citizen-developed applications running in production.
  • Help remediate security findings and technical debt discovered post-deployment.
  • Document patterns, standards, and common fixes to reduce repeated friction.
  • Perform other related duties as assigned.

Requirements

  • Advanced proficiency with Git-based source control and collaborative workflows.
  • Advanced hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (Repos, Pipelines, Boards).
  • Intermediate familiarity with Microsoft Azure services (App Services, Functions, Container Apps, or similar).
  • Intermediate knowledge of application security fundamentals: secrets management, dependency risk, and secure configuration.
  • Intermediate ability to review and reason about Python and/or JavaScript code.
  • Advanced analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.
  • Structured thinking; comfortable bringing order to unstructured or rapidly developed codebases.
  • Enablement mindset with a bias toward pragmatic solutions; meets developers where they are.
  • Demonstrated experience implementing and operating CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience supporting citizen development or low-code platforms preferred.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Bicep, or similar) preferred.
  • Experience with containerization technologies (Docker) preferred.
  • Exposure to security tooling such as Microsoft Defender, Snyk, or equivalent preferred.
  • 3+ years of experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, or related engineering roles.
