Senior Security Engineer building DevSecOps automation to harden cloud and CI/CD.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Security Engineer with 2+ years building automated security infrastructure, integrating SAST/DAST/SCA into CI/CD pipelines and reducing vulnerable deployments by 35% across containerized microservices. I streamline security operations with Python/Bash automation, REST API integrations, and container hardening aligned with CIS Benchmarks.
At Netradyne, I’ve engineered SIEM and SOAR capabilities, created 15+ custom detection rules with measurable false-positive reduction, and built SOAR playbooks that cut MTTR from 45 to 27 minutes. I also support continuous compliance by automating evidence collection (ISO 27001, SOC 2) and standardizing secure cloud provisioning through Terraform and CloudFormation.
