About the position

As a Sr. DevSecOps Engineer at MetroStar, you will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and maintaining secure and efficient software development and deployment pipelines. Your primary responsibility will be to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including development, operations, and security, to integrate security practices seamlessly into the development and operations lifecycle. This integration is essential to ensure the delivery of high-quality, secure, and reliable software solutions that meet the needs of our clients. In this position, you will be tasked with designing, implementing, and maintaining Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines that incorporate automated security testing, vulnerability scanning, and compliance checks. You will also develop and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) templates and configurations, ensuring that security best practices are applied to cloud resources and infrastructure components. Regular security assessments, code reviews, and penetration testing will be part of your routine to identify and address vulnerabilities and weaknesses in applications, code, and infrastructure. Monitoring and analyzing system and application logs to detect and respond to security incidents will be a key aspect of your role. You will implement and manage identity and access management (IAM) solutions, ensuring that appropriate authentication and authorization mechanisms are in place. Additionally, you will collaborate with software engineers to provide guidance on secure coding practices and assist in the remediation of security findings. Your participation in incident response activities will help investigate and mitigate security incidents in a timely manner, contributing to the overall security posture of the organization. Finally, you will contribute to the development and maintenance of security policies, procedures, and documentation, ensuring that the organization adheres to industry standards and best practices in security.
