We foster a thriving internal community and are committed to creating a workplace that looks like the world that we serve.\nThe Information Technology group delivers secure, reliable technology solutions that enable DTCC to be the trusted infrastructure of the global capital markets. The team delivers high-quality information through activities that include development of essential, building infrastructure capabilities to meet client needs and implementing data standards and governance.\nPay and Benefits:\nCompetitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive\nComprehensive health and life insurance and well-being benefits, based on location\nPension / Retirement benefits\nPaid Time Off and Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being.\nDTCC offers a flexible/hybrid model of 3 days onsite and 2 days remote (onsite Tuesdays, Wednesdays and a third day unique to each team or employee).\nSenior Associate - Container as a Service (CaaS) Governance & Security is a hands-on engineering and security role focused on helping application teams deploy and operate containerized workloads safely and reliably on DTCC's Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms. The ideal candidate brings a strong application development, application support, or application security background and uses that perspective to diagnose complex issues across application code, build pipelines, container images, platform controls, and runtime behavior.\nThis role is well suited for a tenacious problem solver who is curious, methodical, and willing to dig beyond the first symptom. Success requires following issues through logs, configurations, dependencies, policies, and team boundaries until the root cause is understood and a durable solution is implemented.\nThe Impact you will have in this role:\nYou will serve as a technical bridge between application teams, Platform Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Risk. You will help teams resolve difficult onboarding and runtime problems, translate application requirements into secure platform patterns, and ensure governance controls are practical, automated, and consistently applied.\nYour work will improve developer experience, platform resilience, and security posture by reducing repeat incidents, accelerating root-cause analysis, and converting lessons learned into reusable standards, automation, documentation, and preventive controls.\nYour Primary Responsibilities:\nApply secure software development lifecycle practices to containerized applications and delivery pipelines\nGuide teams in remediating vulnerabilities, insecure configurations, exposed secrets, weak access patterns, and dependency risks\nEstablish controls for image scanning, signing, provenance, approved registries, and image immutability\nProvide practical guidance on API security, workload identity, RBAC, secrets management, network policy, and cloud-native threat models\nIntegrate security checks into CI/CD and GitOps workflows with clear feedback and actionable remediation paths\nDefine and enforce Kubernetes and OpenShift governance standards for configuration, access, workload isolation, and compliance\nImplement and maintain centralized policy controls using RHACM, RHACS, admission controllers, and policy-as-code patterns\nTest policies against representative application workloads to minimize unintended disruption while maintaining control objectives\nTranslate recurring incidents and findings into automated guardrails, validated platform patterns, and reusable documentation\nTranslate internal control and regulatory requirements into measurable technical controls and evidence\nSupport audits, control validation, finding remediation, risk acceptance, and vulnerability-management activities\nDevelop dashboards and metrics for policy compliance, vulnerabilities, exceptions, remediation aging, and platform risk\nContribute to cluster lifecycle activities, configuration validation, patch readiness, and production support\nCreate runbooks, troubleshooting guides, reference implementations, and knowledge-transfer material; mentor engineers and application teams\nInvestigate complex application and platform issues involving container startup, networking, routes, services, storage, identity, certificates, secrets, resource constraints, and CI/CD integrations\nUse application logs, Kubernetes events, metrics, traces, deployment manifests, and platform audit data to isolate root causes and validate corrective actions\nPartner directly with application teams during onboarding, migrations, production incidents, and recurring failure analysis\nDistinguish application defects from platform, security-control, infrastructure, and dependency issues, then coordinate resolution across the appropriate teams\nDrive issues to durable closure by documenting root cause, corrective action, preventive controls, and follow-up ownership\nQualifications:\nMinimum of 6 years of related experience\nBachelor's degree preferred or equivalent experience\nTalents Needed for Success:\n5+ years of experience in application development, application support, site reliability, DevSecOps, or application security\nHands-on experience troubleshooting distributed applications in Linux and containerized environments\n3+ years of experience with Kubernetes, OpenShift, or another cloud-native application platform\nAbility to read and troubleshoot application code or scripts in at least one language such as Java, Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, or shell\nWorking proficiency with YAML, Git, CI/CD pipelines, REST APIs, and infrastructure or policy as code\nExperience diagnosing issues using logs, metrics, traces, events, and deployment/configuration artifacts\nStrong understanding of container images, networking, IAM/RBAC, secrets, certificates, and vulnerability remediation\nExperience with Red Hat OpenShift, RHACS, RHACM, OpenShift GitOps, and Ansible Automation Platform\nExperience with Aqua Security, Wiz, StackRox/RHACS, HashiCorp Vault, or comparable security platforms\nExperience supporting application modernization or migration from virtual machines to containers\nFamiliarity with service meshes, ingress/egress controls, observability platforms, and software supply-chain security\nKnowledge of CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, NIST guidance, OWASP practices, and financial-services control environments\nExperience building reusable automation, diagnostic tooling, or self-service platform capabilities\nClear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain root cause and remediation to both engineers and risk stakeholders\nTenacious problem solving: persists through ambiguity, tests hypotheses, and follows evidence until the underlying cause is found\nApplication-first thinking: understands how code, dependencies, configuration, pipelines, and runtime platforms interact\nIntellectual curiosity: asks effective questions, learns unfamiliar technologies quickly, and challenges incomplete explanations\nSystems thinking: recognizes cross-layer failure patterns and balances security, reliability, operability, and developer experience\nOwnership and follow-through: drives issues to verified resolution rather than stopping at handoff or workaround\nCollaboration and empathy: works constructively with developers, platform engineers, cybersecurity, operations, and risk teams\nContinuous improvement: converts investigations into automation, standards, documentation, and preventive controls\nMentoring mindset: shares knowledge and raises the troubleshooting capability of the broader team\nThe salary range is indicative for roles at the same level within DTCC across all US locations.
