Lead DevSecOps Engineer

Lead Dev Sec Ops  Engineer

VLink is seeking a Lead Dev Sec Ops  Engineer to champion secure-by-design engineering across our cloud and application platforms. You will lead the integration of security into CI/CD pipelines, architect secure cloud environments, and guide teams in adopting modern Dev Sec Ops  practices.

Future duties and responsibilities:

• Build and lead the Dev Sec Ops  engineering practice across all three execution crews Platform & Infra, Application/Data/Middleware, and Container & TRC.
• Own the Definition of Done for vulnerability remediation across all 130 mnemonics: what constitutes a properly remediated, validated, and closed item before Archer POAM closure and rescan submission.
• Coach GCC offshore engineers on Client-specific practices including Bitbucket branching standards, Jenkins pipeline security gates, Client enforcement, and CaaS container security policies. Act as the technical escalation point between execution crews and the Solution Architect.

Jenkins Pipeline Security and Automation:

• Own the security and reliability of all Jenkins pipelines used for vulnerability remediation automation including PR generation, RITM automation, and remediation validation.
• Implement and maintain security gates within Jenkins pipelines enforcing Client policy checks, scan thresholds, and approval workflows before any automated fix proceeds.
• Build and maintain Jenkins shared library components for reusable pipeline steps covering Archer status updates, Service Now RITM creation, Sysdig alert ingestion, and rescan triggering.
• Ensure all pipeline changes go through client's CAB review process and do not bypass deployment governance.

Bitbucket and Artifactory Operations:

• Own the Bitbucket repository structure and branching standards for the automation codebase including runbook scripts, Python tools, Ansible playbooks, and Terraform modules.
• Manage Bitbucket PR workflow configurations including required reviewers, merge checks, and automated status checks that enforce quality gates before remediation scripts are merged.
• Maintain Artifactory integration within the vulnerability remediation pipeline managing artifact promotion, dependency resolution, and scanning to ensure no vulnerable dependencies are introduced into the automation toolchain.

Policy-as-Code and Compliance Automation:

• Implement and maintain client policy rules governing vulnerability remediation automation, ensuring automated remediations comply with client's security policies before execution.
• Build Ansible playbooks for repeatable infrastructure remediation patterns including OS patch application, SSL/TLS configuration updates, and server hardening aligned to client standards.
• Develop Terraform modules for infrastructure-level vulnerability remediations requiring environment configuration changes.
• Implement automated compliance evidence generation producing audit-ready outputs from Jenkins pipeline executions that satisfy client's OCC, FFIEC, and SOX audit requirements.

Vulnerability Tool Operations:

• Own the day-to-day health and configuration of all vulnerability tool integrations including Archer API connections, Tanium feed ingestion, Sysdig alert routing, Security Center data pipelines, and Imperva alert processing.
• Maintain the Python-based Service Now integration that creates, routes, and tracks RITMs to Client platform teams including Converge, Firewall, DBA, Patching, NAS, and DNS without manual intervention.
• Monitor Sysdig feed health ensuring Docker/CaaS vulnerability alerts are correctly processed and deduplicated against Archer records.
• Manage scan credential rotation for authenticated scans across Tanium, Security Center, and Sysdig to prevent scan coverage gaps.

Secrets and Access Management:

• Own secrets management for all automation pipelines and service accounts via Cyber Ark in compliance with Client credential management standards.
• Ensure least-privilege access for all Jenkins service accounts, Bitbucket automation users, and Archer API integrations with quarterly access reviews.
• Maintain Cyber Ark integration within Jenkins pipelines ensuring no credentials are hardcoded in Jenkinsfiles, Ansible playbooks, Python scripts,…
