What Does a DevSecOps Engineer Do?
A DevSecOps engineer embeds security checks into CI/CD — dependency and secret scanning, infrastructure policy, container hardening — so problems are caught at commit time rather than after release. They work with developers to make the secure path the easy path.
It sits at the intersection of DevOps and security, both remote-friendly disciplines, and is a fast-growing specialisation.
Key skills
- CI/CD security tooling
