As a DevSecOps Engineer at Steampunk, you will play a crucial role in our growing DevSecOps practice, delivering features that support cloud and application development. We are seeking candidates with 3-5 years of experience in cloud platform services and DevSecOps practices, including build/release management, CI/CD practices, and process automation. Your work will involve establishing development tools and infrastructure for automation, understanding stakeholder needs, and conveying these requirements to developers. You will be responsible for automating and improving development, testing, deployment, and release processes, ensuring that systems are secure against cybersecurity threats, and identifying technical problems through root cause analysis. In this position, you will collaborate closely with software developers and engineers to ensure that development processes are followed and function as intended. You will support enterprise cloud applications or infrastructure through infrastructure as code, which includes automated server or network configurations, large-scale software deployments, and monitoring and testing activities such as CI/CD. Additionally, you will document the current state of the environment, perform gap analyses, and produce artifacts that articulate options and recommendations. Leveraging virtualization and containerization will be key to optimizing and modernizing software systems. As an individual contributor, you will also have the opportunity to mentor junior team members and work with teams to bring continuous improvement to DevSecOps processes and tools. Regular status updates and cross-training for other DevOps team members will be part of your responsibilities.
