Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior DevSecOps Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for architecting, implementing, and maintaining comprehensive security controls across our entire CI/CD pipeline and Kubernetes infrastructure. This position reports to the Director of Platform Engineering and plays a critical role in ensuring our organization meets Federal Reserve cybersecurity requirements and CRI (Cyber Risk Institute) profile compliance while enabling rapid, secure application delivery.

Primary Responsibilities

CI/CD Pipeline Security & Governance

· Design, build, and manage secure CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Advanced Security

· Implement and enforce security gates, policy-as-code controls, and approval workflows at every pipeline stage

· Integrate vulnerability scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning) and aggregate findings into centralized reporting dashboards

Vulnerability Management

· Operationalize security scanning across multiple tools (GitHub Advanced Security, SonarQube, etc.)

· Build automated workflows to correlate, deduplicate, and prioritize vulnerability data from disparate sources

Runtime Security & Kubernetes Policy Enforcement

· Implement Kyverno policies to enforce container image security, network policies, and runtime constraints

· Design and deploy Kubernetes Pod Security Standards, network policies, and RBAC configurations

· Manage container image scanning, signing, and attestation in Azure Container Registry (ACR)

Zero Trust Architecture & Access Control

· Design network segmentation, microsegmentation policies, and encrypted inter-service communication

AI-Augmented Security Operations

· Identify, evaluate, and operationalize AI-powered security tools across the SDLC — code review assistants, automated triage agents, anomaly detection — establishing review patterns, prompt and policy controls, and audit trails appropriate to a regulated environment

· Define and enforce secure usage standards for AI coding assistants and agentic developer tools (data handling, secret-leak prevention, model and provider governance, validation of model output)

· Build internal automations using LLMs and MCP-style integrations to reduce toil in vulnerability triage, policy authoring, evidence collection for audits, and incident response
