  • Design, build and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines with integrated security testing and quality gates.
  • Implement policy-as-code and automated evidence collection to support continuous Authorization to Operate.
  • Harden container images and environments against applicable security configuration benchmarks.
  • Integrate governance gates for AI-assisted development, ensuring traceability of AI-generated code.
