DevSecOps Strategy & Maturity

• Contribute to a forward looking DevSecOps roadmap, aligned with enterprise architecture and security strategy
• Help drive continuous improvement of the DevSecOps mindset, toolchain, and process maturity across the program
• Provide technical expertise and coaching as teams migrate from legacy deployment processes to a modern, pipeline-based structure
• Partner with Security to embed controls, scanning, and compliance checks directly into pipelines without introducing friction
• Ensure traceability, auditability, and policy enforcement are built into every pipeline

Toolchain Ownership

• Administer and optimize FlexDeploy, including pipeline design, release orchestration, and automation enhancements
• Administer and enhance GitLab, including repository automation, standardization, and branching strategy (merge controls, conflict detection, and remediation)
• Continuously expand automation coverage to reduce manual touchpoints and shorten cycle time
• Govern the tool chain to ensure ongoing compliance with program and policy requirements

Measurable Results & Reporting

• Define 3–5 execution-level KPIs that provide developers visibility into pipeline health and enable early identification of anomalies within release automation processes.
• Communicate progress with clear, data-backed reporting

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or related field or equivalent hands-on experience in similar business critical, large-scale application environments.
