Preferred Qualifications

Python Automation & API Integration Strong proficiency in designing Python-based automation for large-scale REST API integrations, including repository management, content discovery, workflow orchestration, and encoded file handling across enterprise source-control platforms.

Custom CodeQL Query Development Strong understanding of CodeQL query authoring concepts, including QL pack management, database creation, dependency resolution via --search-path, and techniques for minimizing false positives through boundary analysis and source/sink filtering.

GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) Platform Engineering Deep familiarity with GitHub Advanced Security capabilities, including Code Scanning, Secret Scanning, Dependency Review, custom query configuration, and scalable alert triage and remediation workflows across multiple repositories.

CI/CD Pipeline Architecture (GitHub Actions) Demonstrated expertise in architecting reusable and scalable CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions, including callable workflows, matrix strategies, cross-repository authentication models, and centralized pipeline governance.

SARIF Output Analysis & Interpretation Strong knowledge of the SARIF specification and its use in static analysis pipelines, including interpreting results, validating findings, identifying false positives, and enabling automated reporting across diverse codebases.

Enterprise Git Workflow & Release Management Experience designing and governing enterprise Git workflows, including structured branching strategies, release coordination, branch protection rules, cross-organization pull requests, and versioning policy enforcement.

• Application Security Vulnerability Engineering Solid understanding of common software weakness classes and the intentional design of vulnerable code patterns to validate static analysis coverage, detection accuracy, and severity classification.

• Multi-Repository Architecture & Configuration Delivery Proven ability to architect centralized configuration and workflow distribution models for large repository ecosystems, including reusable workflows, configuration validation, and scalable authentication mechanisms.

• Enterprise Package Registry & Dependency Governance Strong knowledge of internal package ecosystems and dependency governance, including artifact repository configuration, registry enforcement and blocking strategies, and controlled use of vulnerable dependencies for security testing.

• Technical Documentation & Architecture Decision Records Excellent written communication skills with experience producing high-quality technical documentation, including Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), onboarding guides, and operational runbooks for cross-functional
