Work you'll do

  • Work directly with application teams to understand their CI/CD pain points, deployment hurdles, and unique architectural needs.
  • Identify where the current DSO platform falls short of application requirements and collaborate with DSO engineers to prioritize feature development.
  • Migrate legacy applications into the modern DSO ecosystem, ensuring teams see the value rather than just the "compliance hurdle."
  • Support functional workflows across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP, ensuring a consistent developer experience regardless of the underlying cloud provider.
  • Create "Golden Path" documentation, self-service guides, and onboarding playbooks that make it easy for teams to do the right thing securely.
  • Establish formal mechanisms (surveys, working groups, office hours) to ensure the DSO roadmap stays aligned with the evolving needs of the business.

Here's what you'll need

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

  • Having worked as a Functional Analyst, Product Owner, or Systems Analyst role, specifically within DevOps or application development environments.
  • Strong functional understanding of DevSecOps pillars:
  • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, Jenkins)
  • Security Scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA)
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible)
  • Containerization (Kubernetes, Docker)

Bonus points if you have

  • A technical background (e.g., prior experience as a developer or sysadmin) to maintain credibility with engineering stakeholders.
  • Experience with automated security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, and IaC scanning).
  • Familiarity with the SDLC, OWASP Top 10, and NIST frameworks.
  • Certification in Cloud (AWS Solutions Architect, etc.) or Security (CISSP, CISM).
  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
  • Strong problem-solving abilities with a product focused mindset.
  • Strong communication and client facing consulting skills.
  • Ability to work across cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.
  • Cloud Fluency: Understanding of multi-cloud architectures and the functional differences between major providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Proven track record of leading organizational change or large-scale tool adoption programs.
  • Proven experience acting as a liaison between deep technical teams and product-focused application teams.
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps and IaC tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Jenkins, GitLab, etc.).
  • Deep experience writing high-quality User Stories, Acceptance Criteria, and managing complex backlogs in Jira.
