About the Role
We’re looking for a DevSecOps Engineer (Embedded/Edge) to integrate security best practices throughout the development and deployment lifecycle of software running on resource-constrained, multi-architecture environments.
You’ll design and maintain secure, automated CI/CD pipelines, build Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for hybrid and edge systems, and implement comprehensive security scanning and observability frameworks.
This is a hands-on role ideal for an engineer who understands both embedded systems and modern DevSecOps principles, ensuring systems are secure, scalable, and compliant from the ground up.
Responsibilities
- Secure Pipeline Development – Design, build, and maintain secure-by-default CI/CD pipelines supporting multi-architecture deployments for embedded and edge devices.
- Infrastructure & Configuration Management – Develop and manage Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for hybrid cloud and edge environments using tools like Terraform.
- Automation – Automate build processes, security scanning, and compliance validation to ensure efficient, secure software delivery.
- Security Testing – Implement automated testing frameworks including unit, integration, and security tests (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning).
- Security Monitoring & Observability – Build monitoring, logging, and tracing systems to detect anomalies and potential vulnerabilities in real time.
- Vulnerability Management – Continuously monitor for vulnerabilities and coordinate remediation across the full software lifecycle.
- Embedded Systems Optimisation – Optimise build processes for embedded and edge platforms with limited compute and storage resources.
- Incident Response & Post-Mortem Analysis – Participate in incident response and root-cause analysis to strengthen system resilience.
- Collaboration & Training – Educate and support development teams in secure coding practices and DevSecOps principles, fostering a security-first culture.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in DevSecOps, Embedded Systems Engineering, or Cloud Security roles.
- Proficiency in C and C++, with experience developing and securing applications for embedded or edge devices.
- Strong command of DevOps pipelines and tools for CI/CD, IaC (Terraform, Ansible, etc.) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker).
- Experience implementing and maintaining security scanning tools such as SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, or AppSec platforms.
- Hands-on experience with Linux and Windows operating systems.
- Solid scripting skills in Python or Bash for automation and system configuration.
- Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and networking protocols (HTTP/S, DNS, IPSec).
- Strong understanding of core security principles, threat modelling, and compliance frameworks such as STIG and RMF.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally between development, operations, and security teams.
Nice to Have
- Experience with security hardening for IoT or real-time operating systems (RTOS).
- Familiarity with infrastructure security automation and policy-as-code frameworks (e.g., OPA, Checkov).
- Exposure to embedded observability tools and performance profiling.
- Relevant certifications such as CompTIA Security+, CISSP, or GIAC DevSecOps Engineer (GDSA).
Benefits
- Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
- No Weekend Work: Real work-life balance, not just words
- Day 1 Benefits: Laptop and full medical insurance provided
- Support That Matters:Mentorship, community, and forums where ideas are shared
- True Belonging: A long-term career where your contributions are valued
