About the role
The Security Site Reliability Engineer (SSRE) is responsible for ensuring the reliability, consistency, and continuous execution of security controls across CI/CD pipelines and cloud delivery workflows.
Operating within the SecOps domain and reporting to the Information Security Officer (ISO), the SSRE focuses on automating security controls, enforcing policy-as-code, and guaranteeing that security validations always execute as designed throughout the delivery lifecycle.
This role owns how security controls are executed and enforced, not application security testing, cloud configuration ownership, or service uptime.
Responsibilities & duties:
- Integrate and maintain automated security controls within CI/CD pipelines (SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC scans).
- Enforce security gates and policy-as-code validations across all delivery stages.
- Ensure the reliability and consistency of security checks (controls never skipped or bypassed).
- Monitor execution health of security controls and detect failures or misconfigurations.
- Maintain dashboards and metrics related to security control execution (not service availability).
- Collaborate with AppSec to ensure application security scans are executed correctly.
- Collaborate with CloudSec to ensure cloud security policies are enforced during deployments.
- Support security incident investigations related to control failures or pipeline bypasses, under ISO guidance.
- Maintain automated security evidence (logs, reports, pipeline artifacts) for audit purposes (minimum 24 months).
- Develop and maintain SSRE runbooks, control definitions, and operational workflows.
What you need for this role:
- 3+ years of experience in DevSecOps, security engineering, or CI/CD automation roles.
- Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD platforms (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
- Experience integrating security scanning tools into pipelines.
- Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM) from a validation perspective.
- Experience with scripting and automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash).
- Understanding of cloud-native security concepts and delivery pipelines.
- Familiarity with compliance-driven environments (ISO 27001, SOC 2).
