Job Purpose PHINIA is seeking a DevSecOps Lead to own the strategy and execution of secure software delivery across PHINIA. This role embeds security-by-design into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure‑as‑code, enables shift‑left testing, and drives operational resilience (observability, reliability, and recovery) for applications and services. Partnering with Infrastructure, Security Architecture, and Application teams, the DevSecOps Lead standardizes tooling and practices globally to improve speed, stability, and security of releases while optimizing cost and reducing risk.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the vulnerability remediation program across infrastructure (servers, endpoints, network, cloud, containers), driving SLA‑based closure of CVEs, configuration drift, and misconfigurations.
• Lead penetration test finding remediation—triage issues, assign owners, track fixes to closure, validate compensating controls, and report status to Security leadership.
• Drive End‑of‑Life (EOL/EOS) remediation for OS, middleware, databases, network devices, and toolchains; plan upgrades/migrations and enforce standards to eliminate unsupported tech.
• Run a cross‑functional Security Operations cadence with Security, Infrastructure, and Application teams—prioritize risks, coordinate change windows, remove blockers, and publish weekly progress dashboards.
• Maintain a risk‑based backlog of security defects (CVEs, pentest items, EOL tech, policy gaps), aligning remediation to business impact, asset criticality, and exploitability.
• Operationalize scanning and detection: ensure continuous vulnerability scanning, cloud posture assessment, container image scanning, and config baselines are in place and healthy.
• Integrate remediation into ITSM workflows (Incident/Problem/Change); define RFC packages, backout plans, test evidence, and ensure CAB approvals for security changes.
• Partner with Cloud/Infra teams to enforce secure baselines (CIS, hardening guides), Zero Trust controls, network segmentation, and identity‑aware access for privileged operations.
• Establish and track remediation SLAs, MTTR, risk burn‑down, and coverage metrics; escalate non‑compliance and drive executive visibility on risk posture.
• Coordinate patch management motion: monthly cycles, emergency out‑of‑band patches, and validation/telemetry for success rates; reduce maintenance window impact.
• Ensure asset/CMDB accuracy and criticality tagging to improve scan coverage, prioritization, and reporting fidelity.
• Embed security into pipelines where applicable (e.g., infra as code scanning, container/Docker/K8s policy checks) and enforce SBOM usage for infrastructure artifacts.
• Produce clear reporting for leadership: trends, blocked items, high‑risk assets, EOL exposure, pentest closure rates, and upcoming change plans.
• Drive automation‑first remediation (PowerShell/Python/Ansible/Terraform modules), at‑scale config enforcement, and auto‑ticketing/auto‑patching where feasible.
• Collaborate with SOC/Detection teams to validate exploit attempts, correlate findings with vulnerabilities, and prioritize urgent remediations.
• Lead readiness exercises (tabletops, DR/BCP touchpoints) for security changes with high blast radius; ensure rollback, validation, and communications plans.
• Coach infra/app teams on secure operations practices, EOL planning, and remediation playbooks; foster a culture of security‑by‑default in day‑to‑day operations

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s or master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent work experience.
• 8+ years in DevOps/Platform/SRE or Application Security with 3+ years leading DevSecOps or platform teams in an enterprise environment.
• Hands‑on leadership of CI/CD platforms and pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps/GitHub/GitLab or equivalent), artifact and container registries.
• Infrastructure‑as‑Code and configuration automation (Terraform, ARM/Bicep, Helm, Ansible) across hybrid cloud and Kubernetes/container platforms.
• Security tooling and practices: SAST, SCA, DAST, container/image scanning, IaC scanning, secrets management, SBOM/provenance, policy‑as‑code (e.g., OPA).
• Track record of coaching teams, simplifying complex problems, and delivering measurable improvements in lead time, change failure rate, MTTR, and security posture.
• Cloud/platform (Azure/AWS/GCP), security (e.g., CISSP, CCSP, GIAC, SC‑100/SC‑200), DevOps/SRE (e.g., DORA/DevOps Institute, SRE Foundation), and Kubernetes (CKA/CKS).
