- Design and deploy fast, reliable, parallelized security test suites with immediate feedback for developers.
- Document data flows and model attack surfaces from the design phase.
You will:
- Deploy and configure static and dynamic analysis tools such as SonarQube, Trivy, Snyk, OWASP ZAP, and similar solutions.
- Orchestrate secure deployments through CI/CD pipelines, including automatic rollback mechanisms and multi-level validation.
- Develop custom automation tools when market solutions do not fully meet Wakam's needs.
You will:
- Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with embedded security controls using tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
- Ensure full versioning of code, infrastructure, configurations, and security policies.

You will:
- Provide technical support to the team managing the workplace environment, including Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, and SharePoint, on security and monitoring topics.
- Contribute to integrating collaborative tools into global security policies, including authentication, conditional access, DLP, and SIEM alerts.
- Help automate recurring administration tasks and implement alerts for abnormal behaviours.
You will:
- Maintain active monitoring of DevSecOps trends, new threats, and emerging practices.
- Evaluate and integrate relevant technologies for Wakam's environment.
- Share best practices and lessons learned internally and within the DevSecOps community.
