Job Summary

The Cloud Development Operations Lead (SDLC & CI/CD Controls) embeds security directly into DeepHealth’s software delivery lifecycle by implementing and operating automated security controls in CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows. The role focuses on repeatable guardrails—so security is built in from design through production—while keeping delivery fast, measurable, and audit-ready.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

· Embed security tooling into CI/CD (SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC scanning, container scanning) using standardized pipeline patterns and reusable templates.

· Define practical release gating rules that prevent high-risk defects from shipping while supporting documented exception workflows when needed.

· Partner with engineering teams to operationalize secure coding practices and reduce recurring findings (OWASP Top 10 classes).

CI/CD Pipeline Hardening & Automation

· Build and maintain automation/scripts to support security checks, artifact integrity, pipeline hygiene, and evidence generation.

· Reduce credential and secrets exposure across build and deployment workflows in partnership with platform/DevOps owners.

· Tune security tooling to minimize noise and maintain acceptable pipeline performance (avoid security checks becoming bottlenecks).

Vulnerability Management Workflow (Engineering-Usable)

· Triaging and prioritizing application and pipeline findings with product/engineering owners; validate remediation and closure.

· Implement service-level expectations for critical/high findings and track aging, exceptions, and trends for leadership reporting.

Security Standards, Threat Modeling & Enablement

· Support lightweight threat modeling for new features and major changes; translate risk into actionable engineering requirements.

· Act as a security champion within engineering teams—coaching, pairing on fixes, and raising baseline maturity without slowing delivery.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities and requirements of the position described above. Other functions may be assigned, and management retains the right to add or change duties at any time.

Minimum Qualifications, Education and Experience

· 10+ years in DevOps, platform engineering, application security, or software engineering with hands-on CI/CD responsibility.

· Strong written/verbal communication; able to translate security requirements into usable engineering workflows.

Technical Skill Set (Required)

CI/CD & Engineering Systems (Hands-On)

· Experience with CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

· Experience implementing policy/gating in pipelines and maintaining secure branch/release controls.

Scripting / Automation

· Proficiency with Python, Bash, PowerShell, or equivalent scripting for automation and reporting.

· Comfort working with APIs to integrate tools and export evidence/metrics.

Application Security Fundamentals

IaC / Container Awareness

· Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code and container build/deploy security practices (Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep; Docker/Kubernetes).

Preferred Qualifications

· Experience operating in regulated environments (PHI/PII) with audit/evidence expectations (HIPAA-aligned safeguards, SOC2/ISO-style controls).

· Familiarity with common DevSecOps/AppSec tools (e.g., Semgrep, SonarQube, Snyk, Trivy, Prisma/Defender—tooling may vary).

· Security or cloud certifications (nice-to-have): Security+, AWS/Azure/GCP security-focused credentials, or equivalent experience.

Quality Standards

· Communicates, cooperates, and consistently functions professionally and harmoniously with all levels of supervision, co-workers, visitors, and vendors.

· Demonstrates initiative, personal awareness, professionalism and integrity, and exercises confidentiality in all areas of performance.
