About the role

  • Partner directly with citizen developers to refactor, harden, and productionize applications built with Python, JavaScript, and low-code/automation platforms.
  • Guide developers on repository structure, branching strategies, pull requests, and versioning.
  • Translate loosely defined or experimental solutions into maintainable, supportable codebases.
  • Establish, document, and enforce SDLC best practices including source control standards, CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and deployment, and environment separation (development, UAT, production).
  • Create and maintain reusable DevSecOps “golden paths” including standardized pipeline templates, deployment frameworks, and secure configuration and secrets management patterns.
  • Perform code reviews with emphasis on security vulnerabilities, error handling, resilience, and maintainability.
  • Integrate and operate automated security tooling: SAST, dependency/vulnerability scanning, and secrets detection.
  • Work closely with security teams to ensure applications meet enterprise requirements without unnecessary friction.
  • Support deployments through controlled CI/CD pipelines, eliminating manual or ad-hoc release processes.
  • Troubleshoot pipeline failures, deployment issues, configuration problems, and environment-specific bugs.
  • Assist with incident response for citizen-developed applications running in production.
  • Help remediate security findings and technical debt discovered post-deployment.
  • Document patterns, standards, and common fixes to reduce repeated friction.
  • Perform other related duties as assigned.
