- Implement endpoint security, malware detection, and anomaly-based intrusion detection solutions. 
- Perform incident response and forensic analysis to remediate security breaches and strengthen system defenses. 
- Maintain thorough and well-organized documentation for security policies, system configurations, and operational procedures. 



Required Qualifications: 
- 8+ years of hands-on experience in Ubuntu-based Linux system administration with a strong DevSecOps focus. 
- Experience in managing and securing GitLab, including repository management, CI/CD pipeline automation, and integration with security tools. 
- Strong expertise in configuring and automating GitLab Runners across diverse architectures and environments. 
- In-depth knowledge of network security protocols, encryption technologies, and firewall configurations. 
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Puppet, and Ansible for automated provisioning and configuration management. 
- Hands-on experience securing cloud-based infrastructure across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or other providers. 
- Proficiency in Docker container security, including vulnerability scanning, access controls, and secure deployment. 
- Familiarity with ARM-based containerization and its security implications. 
- Strong scripting skills in Bash, Python, or other automation languages for security automation and system administration. 
- Ability to document security policies, system configurations, and operational workflows with clarity and precision. 



Preferred Qualifications: 
-Expertise in GitLab administration, CI/CD security, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet).
-
Strong knowledge of Docker security, cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP), and network security protocols
-
Experience with secrets management, RBAC implementation, and secure deployment automation.
-
Comfortable handling security monitoring, log aggregation (ELK, Splunk, Grafana), and incident response.



Location & Work Environment: 
- Hybrid/Remote flexibility based on project requirements. 
- A dynamic and security-focused environment where DevSecOps plays a critical role in ensuring secure infrastructure and software deployment.
