TL;DR · Senior DevSecOps Security Engineer

The Senior DevSecOps Security Engineer joins the Cisco Intersight team to provide a dual-lens approach of senior security guidance and hands-on software development for a cloud-native operations platform. You will build secure, resilient, and scalable platform features, including AI-powered capabilities, while maintaining rigorous compliance standards. Daily responsibilities include writing production-grade code to implement security features, designing secure patterns for AI/ML model deployment, and automating vulnerability remediation. You will use Go, Java, and Python to build security tooling and interpret security mandates into actionable code. The role requires expertise in microservices, secure development lifecycles, and infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and Ansible. You will solve complex security gaps within cloud-native environments involving Docker and Kubernetes to ensure data protection and inference security.

What you'll do

  • Implement platform security features and core infrastructure using Go or Java.
  • Design secure patterns for AI/ML model deployment, data protection, and inference security.
  • Automate security tooling, vulnerability remediation, and continuous compliance checks using Python.
  • Translate corporate security mandates into actionable code and automated remediation workflows.
  • Review feature designs and AI architectures to identify security gaps and recommend mitigations.
  • Guide remediation priorities for automated scans, penetration tests, and security reviews.
  • Write production-grade code to build secure, resilient, and scalable platform features.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
  • 8 years of experience designing and maintaining production quality backend systems.
  • 5 years of experience using Go or Java within a Microservices architecture.
  • 3 years of experience focused on DevSecOps or application security.
  • Experience using Python for security automation and tooling.
  • Experience with secure development lifecycle (SDLC) requirements and translating security findings into code-based remediation.
  • Knowledge of vulnerability triage, automated security scan findings, and SLA-based remediation workflows.
  • Experience developing or securing AI/ML workloads and familiarity with AI security frameworks (preferred).
