Principal Cloud Development Operations Engineer
About The Position
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.

Requirements
- 10+ years in DevOps, platform engineering, application security, or software engineering with hands-on CI/CD responsibility.
- Demonstrated experience integrating security tooling into pipelines and tuning for practical developer use.
- Strong written/verbal communication; able to translate security requirements into usable engineering workflows.
- 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.
- Proficiency with Python, Bash, PowerShell, or equivalent scripting for automation and reporting.
- Comfort working with APIs to integrate tools and export evidence/metrics.
- Strong understanding of common application security risks and secure coding patterns (e.g., OWASP Top 10).
- Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code and container build/deploy security practices (Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep; Docker/Kubernetes).
Nice To Haves
- 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.
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).
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
