- Experience with engineering quality and security platforms such as SonarQube, CodeScene, Fortify, GitHub Advanced Security, Black Duck, Dependabot, Artifactory, Nexus, and GitHub Cloud.
- Deep understanding of developer workflows, Git-based collaboration, Inner Source practices, source code governance, artifact management, and scalable SDLC operations.
- Ability to define architecture standards, document best practices, establish platform governance, and influence adoption across multiple engineering teams.
- Knowledge of AI-assisted engineering and AI-driven DevSecOps use cases, including GitHub Copilot, AI-powered security scanning, MCP server evaluation, and responsible integration of AI across the platform toolchain.
- Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, communication, stakeholder management, cost optimization, resilience planning, and technical leadership skills.
Personal Characteristics:
- Strategic thinker with strong ownership mindset and ability to balance hands-on technical depth with enterprise-level architectural leadership.
- Passion for modern DevSecOps, platform engineering, automation, cloud-native technologies, security-by-design, and continuous improvement.
- Ability to simplify complex technical topics and communicate effectively with architects, engineering teams, security stakeholders, leadership, and vendors.
- Strong active listening, critical thinking, mentoring, facilitation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Ability to evaluate high-pressure operational situations, prioritize effectively, and guide teams toward reliable and secure outcomes.
- Ability to identify critical risks, quality gaps, reliability issues, security vulnerabilities, and process inefficiencies quickly and accurately.
- Comfortable working in fast-paced enterprise environments with multiple priorities, distributed teams, and evolving technology landscapes.
- Strong systems thinking with the ability to understand how cloud, platform, security, development, release, and operations capabilities fit together.
- Ability to influence without authority, drive alignment across teams, and promote adoption of standards, reusable platforms, and engineering excellence practices.
- Detail-oriented, learning-focused, and committed to secure, reliable, cost-efficient, and scalable platform outcomes.
How We Work Together
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities.
Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.
Indicate if this role is an office/field/onsite role.
