• Design, implement, and maintain security controls within CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps, etc.).
• Ensure software integrity through code signing, artifact validation, and provenance.
• Automate SAST, DAST, SCA, and container image scanning in the build and release pipelines.
• Automated AI specific vulnerability scanning into CI/CD to catch insecure LLM orchestration patters
• Identify and remediate misconfigurations and access control gaps in pipeline environments.
• Design, deploy, and tune WAF rules and API security protections.
• Conduct API risk assessments and promote secure API design patterns.
• Perform secure code reviews and support automated security testing coverage across pipelines.
