Responsibilities:

Infrastructure Automation

Develop and maintain Packer templates for creating hardened VM and container images, ensuring compliance with internal security standards. Collaborate with IT and product teams to streamline image pre-configuration for on-prem and cloud deployments.

Containerization & Orchestration

• Build and manage multi-container environments using Docker Compose, Podman, and Kubernetes for application deployment.
• Evaluate and implement alternatives for container orchestration in secure or air-gapped environments.
• Create and maintain VMs both manually and via (CI/CD) provisioning.

Security Integration

• Perform Black Duck scans and vulnerability assessments on source code, dependencies, and container images to meet SSDF and compliance requirements.
• Address identified security issues by upgrading components and mitigating risks in CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with product security teams to enforce best practices for open-source compliance and license management.

Continuous Improvement

• Integrate security scanning tools (e.g., Black Duck Detect, VMT) into Jenkins and other CI/CD platforms.
• Monitor and optimize performance of security tools and container platforms, ensuring minimal downtime during maintenance windows.

Documentation

• Create instructions for both internal teams and customers to deploy, maintain, and upgrade images. Include documentation in the CI/CD pipeline.

Qualifications:

• Strong experience with Packer, Docker, Docker Compose, and container orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Podman).
• Experience programming with Python, bash, etc.
• Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks (Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Hands-on experience with security scanning tools (Black Duck, SCA solutions) and remediation workflows.
• Knowledge of Linux administration and secure image creation for Debian/RHEL/Alpine environments. 
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SSDF, legal open-source reviews).
• Strong collaboration skills to work with cross-functional teams (IT, Product Security, R&D).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience deploying solutions in air-gapped or high-security environments.
• Understanding of cloud-native security practices and container runtime hardening.
• Full stack development experience.
