Security, Quality & SDLC Enablement

• Embed security controls and static application security testing (SAST) tools such as Veracode into CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with development and security teams to automate vulnerability detection and remediation workflows.
• Enhance QA and testing capabilities through automated test execution, environment management, and release validation processes.
• Establish metrics and reporting that provide visibility into pipeline health, deployment success, and security compliance.

Required Qualifications
