AVEVA is seeking a skilled Senior Software Engineer to join our Dev Services organization and take a key role in the ongoing development, operations, and scaling of our Trusted Container Registry (TCR) platform.

TCR is central to our secure software supply chain strategy. It provides development teams with secure, pre‑scanned, digitally signed container images and enables consistent, reliable, and secure build workflows across AVEVA’s product portfolio. With adoption rapidly expanding across R&D, we are adding a dedicated engineer to help us accelerate delivery, improve developer experience, and support long‑term platform growth.

This high‑impact role is ideal for someone who enjoys building internal platforms, automating container workflows, and strengthening security and compliance across the software development lifecycle.

• Build, operate, and improve the Trusted Container Registry (TCR) and its supporting services.
• Develop automation for image ingestion, tagging, scanning, signing, and publishing.
• Implement and maintain security controls such as vulnerability scanning, malware detection, and Cosign‑based signature verification.
• Enhance developer experience by expanding the catalog of secure, vetted base and application images.
• Support onboarding and enablement for engineering teams adopting TCR across AVEVA.
• Collaborate closely with Product Security to deliver roadmap features and ensure secure and compliant container operations.
• Contribute to registry auditability, usage reporting, and compliance initiatives (including emerging open‑source escrow requirements).

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering or similar major.
• Hands‑on experience with containers, registries, and OCI image workflows.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and automation (e.g., Azure Dev Ops, Git Hub Actions, Jenkins).
• Experience with Kubernetes, Helm charts, or cloud‑native infrastructure such as Azure, AWS or Google Cloud.
• Experience with container security tools (scanning, signing, SBOMs, vulnerability detection).
• Solid Linux systems engineering and debugging skills.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Power Shell, Bash, Go, etc.).
• Experience working in Dev Ops, platform engineering, or internal developer platform environments.
• Working experience with object‑oriented programming languages such as C# and .NET.

• Master's degree in Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Experience with Cosign, Sigstore, or container signing frameworks.
• Experience with Black Duck, Trivy or similar enterprise security scanning tools.
  
  Understanding of secure software supply chain frameworks (e.g., SLSA, NIST SSDF).
• Strong communication skills for negotiations with stakeholders and troubleshooting with internal developer community.

• Our global team of 2000+ developers work on an incredibly diverse portfolio of over 75 industrial automation and engineering products, which cover everything from data management to 3D design. AI and cloud are at the centre of our strategy, and we have over 150 patents to our name.
