Role description
Title: Senior DevSecOps Engineer
We are building a cloud-native immutable evidencing platform to ingest compliance artifacts, audit evidence, and control attestations from a wide range of internal tools via API, store them with cryptographic integrity guarantees, and expose querying and retrieval capabilities to downstream GRC and audit workflows. The contractor will help design, build, and harden this platform on Azure in alignment with PCI-DSS, SOX, and GLBA requirements.
Responsibilities
Design and implement API ingestion pipelines via Azure API Management (APIM) with OAuth2/JWT validation, rate limiting, and schema enforcement
Build event-driven ingestion workflows using Azure Service Bus and Azure Functions (durable, fan-out patterns)
Implement immutable artifact storage using Azure Blob Storage with WORM policies (time-based retention locks) and Azure Cosmos DB for tamper-evident metadata indexing
Architect Redis Cache for high-throughput query caching while preserving source-of-truth immutability guarantees
Integrate Azure Key Vault for envelope encryption of stored artifacts (customer-managed keys, automated rotation)
Build Log Analytics Workspace telemetry pipelines covering ingestion events, access audit trails, and integrity verification logs
Write Terraform IaC for all infrastructure - no click-ops; all resources policy-as-code compliant
Implement third-party tool integrations (connector APIs) to ingest evidence artifacts from source systems
Skills
5+ years building production workloads on Azure; demonstrated experience with event-driven and API-first architectures
Strong APIM experience: policies (inbound/outbound XML), backends, named values, developer portal, versioning
Experience implementing immutable/append-only storage patterns - WORM blob policies, Cosmos DB change feed auditing, or equivalent
Deploy and Manage NoSQL and CosmosDB database experience
Solid Terraform skills: modules, remote state, Azure Provider, CI/CD integration via GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps
Strong coding experience in Python and Node
Familiarity with envelope encryption patterns using Key Vault (CMK, key rotation, purge protection)
Understanding of zero-trust network design: Private Endpoints, VNet integration, NSG/UDR patterns
Ability to write KQL for operational queries, alerting rules, and audit log analysis
Experience integrating with third-party tool APIs (GRC platforms, vulnerability scanners, ticketing systems, or similar)
Hands-on proficiency with integrated testing tools
Effective written and verbal communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams
Desired certifications such as Azure Security Engineer Associate certification, and AWS-certified security Specialty, CISSP and CCSP
Degree in Computer Science, Information Management, or related field
