ML/DevOps Engineer
Summary
Description Purpose of Role: As a ML/DevOps Engineer specializing in cyber security, you will be responsible for architecting, automating, and maintaining secure CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure. You will act as a subject-matter expert on secureML/DevOps (DevSecOps) practices, ensuring infrastructure resilience, compliance, and rapid delivery of high-quality software. Essential Responsibilities: Design & Automate: Build and manage scalable, secure CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible). Secure Cloud Infrastructure: Implement and maintain security controls across AWS (or Azure/GCP) environments, including IAM, network segmentation, and encryption in transit/at rest. AI/ML Tooling: Familiarity with model servers, vector databases, GPU monitoring (DCGM), and agent orchestration Container & Orchestration Security: Harden Docker images, manage Kubernetes security policies, and integrate container-scanning tools. Continuous Monitoring: Deploy observability solutions to track system health, performance, and security posture; respond to alerts and conduct root-cause analysis. Threat Modeling & Risk Assessment: Evaluate infrastructure changes for potential vulnerabilities and recommend mitigation measures. Compliance & Governance: Align infrastructure and processes with SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other relevant standards; generate required evidence for audits. Handle model registries (MLflow, HuggingFace/NGC mirrors), vulnerability scanning supply-chain hygiene, and role-based access for AI coding tools or agentic wrappers Incident Response: Partner with security and engineering teams on incident detection, triage, and post-mortem analysis. Collaboration & Enablement: Coach development teams on secure coding and deployment practices; advocate for DevSecOps culture across the organization. Continuous Improvement: Stay current with emerging DevOps and security trends, recommending and implementing tool and process enhancements. Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field. 5+ years in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Cloud Engineering with demonstrable security responsibilities. Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS preferred). Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation) and CI/CD platforms. Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or Go) for automation. Deep understanding of networking, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS). Experience with vulnerability scanning, secrets management, and identity & access management. Familiarity with log aggregation, metrics, and alerting stacks (e.g., ELK, Prometheus, Grafana). Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills; ability to work independently and collaboratively. Preferred Certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, CKA, or CISSP. Experience with security platforms (Aqua, Prisma Cloud, Snyk, or similar). Knowledge of zero-trust architectures and secure SDLC frameworks. Familiarity with compliance frameworks in regulated industries (healthcare, finance). Experience with infrastructure cost-optimization and FinOps practices. Relevant Working Conditions/Physical Demands: Sitting/Stationary: Often requires sitting at a desk and looking at a computer screen for 70% - 90% of the workday. Fine Finger Dexterity: High use of keyboards, computer mice, and standard office equipment. Lifting/Moving: Minimal physical exertion; occasionally required to lift or carry office supplies, files, or packages weighing up to 30 lbs. Mobility: Intermittent standing, walking, and bending or stooping to retrieve files. Equiti is an Equal Opportunity Employer Committed to creating a diverse and inclusive company culture.
