You will also guide tooling integrations, such as Git Guardian, and support continuous monitoring through platforms like Azure Dev Ops, Service Now, and others. Familiarity with AI or GenAI use cases that enhance security operations is preferred.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the Dev Sec Ops  strategy and implementation of secure source code practices, with an initial focus on remediating exposed secrets in Git Hub repositories
• Driving the assessment and mitigation of plaintext credentials, tokens, and secrets in codebases, aligning with security best practices
• Defining and enforcing governance policies for secrets, PATs, SSH keys, and rogue/public repositories
• Evaluating and supporting enterprise-wide Git Guardian integration for proactive secret scanning and alerting
• Designing and overseeing remediation workflows via Service Now, including SLA definitions and resolution tracking
• Continuously assessing and improving the security posture of internal repositories through automated and repeatable compliance processes
• Creating and maintaining dashboards and metrics to measure remediation progress and hygiene improvement
• Developing training content and leading outreach campaigns to promote secure development practices
• Contributing to identifying AI/GenAI-enhanced security solutions that improve detection, remediation, and reporting efficiency

Required qualifications include:

• 8+ years of experience in security engineering, Dev Sec Ops , or application security in enterprise-scale environments
• Strong expertise in Git Hub Enterprise, especially in scanning, securing, and managing sensitive content within repositories
• Demonstrated success in identifying and remediating text-based secrets and credentials within code repositories
• Experience with Git Guardian or similar secret detection tools
• Familiarity with Service Now or equivalent platforms for triaging security issues and tracking remediation
• Proven ability to assess security posture and implement governance frameworks for secure development
• Strong communication skills and experience guiding both technical and non-technical audiences through security initiatives
• Comfortable working across collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and Outlook

Preferred qualifications include:

• Experience working in or consulting for Big 4 firms, global consultancies, or large enterprise IT organizations
• Exposure to AI/GenAI use cases in security automation, threat detection, or posture monitoring
• Hands-on experience with secure SDLC and Dev Sec Ops  pipeline integrations
• Understanding of GRC frameworks such as NIST, CIS Controls, or ISO 27001
• Experience managing or collaborating with onshore/offshore security delivery teams
