Role
We are looking for a Principal DevSecOps Engineer to join our team. This is a hybrid (based in Bangalore) role, reporting to the
Director, Software Engineering in the Engineering department. You will join the team that built the world’s largest cloud security
platform from the ground up. You will bring your vision and passion to help enable organizations worldwide to harness speed and
agility with a cloud-first strategy, driving the long-term vision for security integration across our global footprint.
What you’ll do (Role Expectations)
* Define and evangelize the long-term vision and roadmap for DevSecOps, integrating security seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines,
infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and cloud operations
* Drive continuous process improvement across the SDLC and DevSecOps landscape to optimize delivery time, code quality, and
security
* Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams, tracking initiative effectiveness via key metrics and KPIs
for leadership reporting
* Lead the implementation of continuous vulnerability assessment and penetration testing programs with organization-wide impact
* Implement security objectives across DevSecOps utilizing NIST, OWASP, and DSOMM to define requirements and drive maturity
Who You Are (Success Profile)
* You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing
ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful
* You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you
genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between
high-level strategy and hands-on execution
* You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution,
knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact
* You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by
giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and
the fastest way to earn trust
* You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to
become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose
What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
* Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to
optimize outcomes within your functional domain
* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field with 10+ years of experience managing AWS, GCP, or Private Cloud
environments
* Proven experience with AI guardrails and Responsible AI practices, including safety controls, evaluation/monitoring, and
governance-aware implementation
* Strong experience with secrets management solutions such as HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or
Kubernetes Secrets
* Robust application development and automation experience with an OOPS language such as C, C++, Java, Python, or Go, and skilled
in managing full DevOps stacks including Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, Git, and various CI/CD tools
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
* Advanced experience implementing secure MLOps pipelines, AI-driven vulnerability remediation, or LLM security controls within
enterprise DevSecOps frameworks
* Proficiency with YAML pipeline development and familiarity with build tools like Maven, Gradle, npm, and makefiles
* Practical experience with Networking, Load Balancers, Firewalls, and Web Security, combined with experience leading enterprise
transformation initiatives within the DevSecOps landscape focusing on program management, change management, and roadmap
alignment
