About the Role
Rushikonda IT SEZ in Visakhapatnam has a Senior DevSecOps Engineer opening, full time, on site, with a security team embedding vulnerability checks into the software delivery pipeline. Eight years of experience is the expectation, and this senior role carries real authority over pipeline security architecture.
A Day in This Job
The work covers assessing systems for vulnerabilities, implementing protective controls, supporting incident response, and recommending improvements. A senior engineer here designs the security scanning strategy for the whole pipeline, balancing thoroughness against the real need to keep releases moving.
What You'll Be Doing
- Own security scanning architecture across CI/CD pipelines
- Design vulnerability triage processes
- Lead incident response for pipeline-related security events
- Mentor other engineers on secure pipeline design
Qualifications
A bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with a security certification such as CEH or CompTIA Security+ and demonstrated familiarity with security monitoring tools, vulnerability assessment, and incident response practices.
Skills That Matter
- CI/CD security integration at an architectural level
- Vulnerability scanning
- Scripting
- Cloud platforms
Good to Have
Experience designing a security scanning strategy for a genuinely large engineering organization, familiarity with container security scanning specifically, and any background balancing scan thoroughness against release velocity under real pressure.
Why This Role
Rushikonda IT SEZ has become a growing pocket of Visakhapatnam's tech scene, and this team's development pace means security architecture decisions here have real, ongoing impact on release velocity. Naukri Mitra has listed a few cybersecurity roles from this employer, and senior engineers who've joined recently describe balancing scan depth against pipeline speed as the genuinely hardest ongoing design decision this role makes.
The Interview Process
Interviews include a technical round on pipeline security architecture and a discussion of a scanning strategy you'd design for a hypothetical fast-moving team. Candidates who balance thoroughness against speed thoughtfully tend to interview well.
Benefits
- Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
- Paid time off
- Performance-linked bonuses
- Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Visakhapatnam
