  • Implement automated security gatekeeping, including the generation of SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials), vulnerability scanning, and license compliance for all Python and Rust artifacts
  • Work with the team to help design and implement monitoring frameworks to track build performance; assist in automated load and performance testing of the Python stack to identify regressions before release
  • Identify and eliminate manual bottlenecks by transitioning legacy workflows into modern, 'everything-as-code' processes

    • Storage services (e.g., S3, Blob Storage)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, DevOps, or related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)

Preferred Qualifications:

  • etc.)
  • Experience integrating security scanning into pipelines (SAST/DAST, container scanning)
