DevSecOps Architect

Title: Dev Sec Ops  Architect

Location: Hollywood- onsite (flex 1 day remote)

Duration: Direct Hire

Compensation: $ 180,000- $185,000

Work Requirements: U.S. Citizen, GC Holders, or Authorized to Work in the U.S.

As the Dev Sec Ops  Architect, you will define, build, and champion the integration of security into every stage of the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (S‑SDLC), embedding automated security controls, governance, and compliance into CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and application delivery processes across the enterprise.

Reporting to the Director II of Cybersecurity Architecture, Engineering & IAM, this role requires a deeply technical, security‑minded architect and engineer who bridges the worlds of software development, cloud operations, and cybersecurity. You will design and implement secure‑by‑default development frameworks, automate security testing and compliance enforcement, and drive a cultural shift toward shared security ownership, ensuring that every application and infrastructure deployment across all Rock business units is built secure from the ground up.

This is a shift‑left architecture role. The ideal candidate does not sit at the end of the pipeline reviewing what others have built, they embed themselves into the engineering lifecycle, define the standards developers work within, and build the tooling and automation that makes security the path of least resistance. You architect at scale, write production‑grade code, and measure your impact in vulnerabilities prevented, not just discovered.

• Design and implement an enterprise Dev Sec Ops  architecture that embeds security controls, automated testing, and compliance validation into every phase of the software development lifecycle, from code commit through production deployment
• Define and maintain secure coding standards, application security reference architectures, and security design patterns that development teams adopt as foundational building blocks, not optional guidelines
• Architect threat modeling frameworks and processes that enable development teams to proactively identify and mitigate security risks during design and development phases, before code is written
• Establish and govern security gate criteria within CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that code, container images, infrastructure-as-code templates, and third‑party dependencies meet security and compliance thresholds before promotion to production
• Own the security architecture review process for new applications, platforms, and major system changes, providing timely, actionable guidance that accelerates delivery rather than blocking it

• Design, build, and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines integrating automated security tooling across the full spectrum: static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), software composition analysis (SCA), container scanning, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning, and secrets detection
• Develop and maintain custom pipeline integrations, security automation scripts, and policy-as-code frameworks using Python, Power Shell, Go, or similar languages, enforcing security controls programmatically at scale
• Implement automated compliance-as-code solutions that continuously validate infrastructure and application configurations against regulatory requirements (PCI-DSS, SOX, tribal gaming regulations) and internal security policies, eliminating manual evidence collection
• Engineer automated remediation workflows that detect, alert, and resolve common security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities without manual intervention, reducing mean time to remediate across the portfolio
• Build developer‑facing security tooling and…
