This leader will be responsible for building and leading a high-performing team of DevSecOps engineers, drive measurable adoption of CI/CD, Continuous Testing, and security best practices across all application areas.

• DevSecOps Adoption & Transformation:
  • Develop and execute a comprehensive adoption plan for CI/CD, Continuous Testing, and security best practices across all application areas. 
  • Collaborate closely with application development, data, infrastructure, and security teams to break down silos and drive cross-functional ownership of DevSecOps principles. 
  • Define and implement key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of DevSecOps adoption and continuously track progress. 
  • Identify and address roadblocks and bottlenecks hindering DevSecOps implementation. 
  • Champion automation efforts and streamline development workflows to achieve faster release cycles and higher application quality. 
  • Integrate security considerations throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
• Technical Expertise & Innovation:
  • Possess a deep understanding of DevSecOps principles, methodologies, and best practices. 
  • Demonstrate strong proficiency in CI/CD tools and technologies 
  • Maintain a strong understanding of continuous testing methodologies and tools 
  • Possess a solid grasp of cloud platforms and infrastructure as code (IaC) principles. 
  • Stay abreast of emerging trends and technologies in the DevSecOps space and evaluate their potential for improving efficiency and security.

Qualifications:

• 15+ years of experience in DevSecOps engineering or a related field. 
• Proven track record of leading and scaling DevSecOps initiatives across large, complex organizations. 
• Deep understanding of CI/CD, continuous testing, and security best practices.
• Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) is highly desirable.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and leadership skills with the ability to influence and motivate cross-functional teams. 
• Ability to drive measurable results and demonstrate the impact of DevSecOps initiatives. 
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field is preferred.

• Experience in a senior leadership role, ideally within DevSecOps or a related field.
