About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

As a core technical member of the DevSecOps team, you will transition security from manual processes to automated pipelines. Your responsibilities include:
Develop, orchestrate, and automate AI agent workflows (leveraging large language models and autonomous security tools) to proactively scan, identify, and validate vulnerabilities across our codebase and infrastructure.
Develop, deploy, and maintain automation scripts and integrations for our security toolset (e.g., SAST/DAST in CI/CD pipelines, automated in-house scanning capabilities, and CSPM).
Automate the tracking, reporting, and follow-up of vulnerability remediation actions across infrastructure and applications.
Participate in technical security audits and penetration tests, using findings to author new automated detection rules.
Share knowledge, document automated workflows, and assist engineering teams in adopting secure-by-default and automated practices.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Master’s degree (or equivalent, Bac +5) in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, or a related field.
0–3 years of relevant experience (including substantial internships or work-study programs) focusing on DevSecOps, security engineering, or backend development with a strong security mindset.
Strong proficiency in Python and Shell scripting.
Basic experience integrating AI/LLM/MCP APIs into automated workflows or custom scripts is a strong plus.
Hands-on familiarity with modern development ecosystems, particularly GitHub (GitHub Actions), Terraform, ArgoCD, and Ansible.
Good understanding of AWS and/or Azure architectures, as well as containerization technologies (Kubernetes, Docker).
Strong grasp of cybersecurity concepts and applied methodologies: OWASP Top 10, public key encryption, TLS, IAM, and secure credential management.
Exposure to tools such as Google SecOps, CrowdStrike, Datadog ASM (WAF), and frameworks like NestJS, Vue.js, or Angular.
An “automate-first” mentality: if you perform a manual security task twice, you’re inclined to script it the third time.
Demonstrated rigor, curiosity, and strong analytical problem-solving skills.
Comfortable working collaboratively in a team and able to independently drive technical tasks.
Fluent in English and French (written and spoken).
