DevSecOps & Product Security Engineer

This role is for one of our clients

Company Name: Incepteo
Industry: Information Technology & Services
Seniority level: Associate level
Min Experience: 3+ years
Location: Hyderabad
JobType: full-time

About the Role 
Incepteo Labs builds and supports secure, scalable digital products for global clients. We're hiring a hands-on DevSecOps & Product Security Engineer to embed security across the software development and deployment lifecycle — spanning application security, cloud security, and DevSecOps practice for modern SaaS and AI-enabled platforms. A key focus area is Stratpilot, our AI-powered business platform integrating with enterprise systems such as email, calendars, documents, CRM tools, and internal data sources. This is an engineering-focused security role, not a SOC or monitoring function. You'll work directly with developers, architects, and cloud engineers to identify risk, automate controls, strengthen CI/CD pipelines, and drive vulnerabilities through to resolution.

What You'll Do

Secure Development & Application Security 
• Implement security checks, scanning, and quality gates across the SDLC, and champion secure coding and remediation practices. 
• Review authentication, authorization, APIs, tenant isolation, and access controls — identifying and mitigating OWASP and API security risks through threat modelling. 
AI Product Security 
• Assess AI agents, prompts, connectors, and data-access risks, protecting against prompt injection, data leakage, tool misuse, and unsafe AI actions. Cloud & CI/CD Security 
• Secure Google Cloud environments — IAM, service accounts, networking, secrets, and workloads — enforcing least privilege and environment separation. 
• Harden GitHub Actions, dependencies, and deployment pipelines with secret protection, SCA, SBOM, and secure release processes. 
Vulnerability Management & Monitoring 
• Establish a process to identify, prioritize, and track vulnerabilities, coordinating remediation and validating fixes. 
• Strengthen security logging, alerting, and investigation capability, and support incident response, RCA, and security drills. 
Security Assurance 
• Maintain audit-ready security evidence, and support penetration testing, compliance activity, and security architecture documentation.

What We're Looking For

Must-Have 
• Hands-on DevSecOps and application/API security experience, with working knowledge of OWASP Top 10, Python backends, and React applications. • Strong GitHub and CI/CD security experience — pull requests, GitHub Actions, SAST, dependency and secret scanning. 
• Experience securing Google Cloud environments: IAM, service accounts, least-privilege access, and containerized workloads. 
• A track record of cutting through scanner noise to assess real risk and drive practical remediation. 
• Strong communicator who's hands-on fixing issues, not just reporting them.

Good to Have 
• Securing AI platforms, SaaS integrations, or sensitive data pipelines. 
• PostgreSQL and Infrastructure-as-Code security, GCP Security Command Center, and container/Kubernetes platforms. 
• Familiarity with CodeQL, Semgrep, SonarQube, Dependabot, Trivy, OWASP ZAP, or Burp Suite. 
• Exposure to SIEM, cloud monitoring/MDR, and frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001. 
• Security experience with AI/LLM systems, agents, and RAG-based applications.

You'll Thrive Here If You 
• Enjoy working closely with engineers and product teams, and move fluidly between code, cloud, and security analysis. 
• Prefer automation over manual process, and see security as an enabler of delivery, not a blocker. 
• Take ownership of issues through to resolution and can explain complex risk in simple, practical terms. 
• Are curious about AI-driven product security challenges.

Why Incepteo Labs 
• Work across multiple modern product engineering teams and influence security architecture on real production systems. 
• Build hands-on depth in AI security, cloud security, and application security — all in one role. 
• Build scalable security automation used across multiple global clients. 
• Partner directly with engineering, architecture, and product leadership — no ivory-tower security. We value practical experience and real-world problem-solving over certifications or tool checklists.
