- Experience with IaC (Terraform, Bicep, ARM, or CloudFormation).
- Experience deploying and managing containerized apps using Docker and Kubernetes.
- DevSecOps practices: security scanning, secrets management, policy enforcement.
- MLOps experience: model deployment, versioning, monitoring, ML lifecycle automation.
- Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) in enterprise environments.
- Collaboration with development, Data Engineering, ML Engineering, and security teams in Agile settings.
Qualifications & Experience
1. CI/CD Pipeline Engineering — Design, build, and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines for application, data, ML, and AI systems. Automate build, test, integration, and deployment workflows across cloud and on-prem platforms. Implement multi-stage pipelines (build, test, security scan, deploy, monitor). Integrate source control systems (GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps).
2. Integration & Deployment Services — Support enterprise integration services (APIs, microservices, event-driven architectures). Develop deployment strategies: Blue/Green, Canary releases, Feature toggles. Manage containerized deployments. Ensure environment consistency using IaC tools.
3. DevSecOps Implementation — Embed security controls in CI/CD pipelines: SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, secrets scanning, credential management. Implement policy-as-code and compliance automation. Integrate tools like SonarQube, Checkmarx, Aqua, Prisma Cloud, Trivy. Ensure compliance with ISO, SOC2, GDPR standards.
4. MLOps / ML SecOps — Build and maintain ML pipelines for model training, validation, deployment, and monitoring. Enable ML lifecycle automation. Integrate tools such as MLflow, Kubeflow, Azure ML, SageMaker. Apply ML security practices: data integrity checks, model drift detection, adversarial robustness validation. Ensure reproducibility and traceability of ML experiments.
5. LLM SecOps (AI Governance & Security) — Implement secure deployment pipelines for LLM-based applications. Monitor and enforce controls for prompt injection risks, data leakage, and model misuse/hallucination tracking. Enable AI model governance: versioning, audit trails, explainability. Integrate LLM observability tools. Apply Responsible AI practices (bias detection, fairness, compliance).
6. Monitoring & Reliability Engineering — Implement observability frameworks using Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, ELK Stack. Track pipeline health, deployment success rates, and security posture. Ensure high availability and resilience of CI/CD systems.
7. Collaboration & Stakeholder Management — Work closely with development teams, data scientists/ML engineers, and security teams. Drive adoption of DevOps culture and best practices. Support release management and incident resolution.
