Development Security Operations Engineer

Description

Pay Scale: $114, 500 - $173,700

Position Description

The Development Security Operations Engineer will support software testing, validation, and secure pipeline operations for system-level software development efforts. DevSecOps is an approach to building software that integrates security safeguards directly into the daily workflow from day one, rather than treating security as an afterthought or a final compliance check. This position is to prevent last-minute delays and friction if vulnerabilities are uncovered right before a release. DevSecOps breaks down those traditional department silos by automating security testing and making risk prevention a shared, continuous responsibility across all technical teams. By embedding automated security checks early into every stage of the development process, companies can deliver secure, high-quality software to customers significantly faster while dramatically reducing the risk of costly data breaches.
