Role Overview

10Pearls is seeking a Software Consultant (SecOps) to drive internal security testing automation, execute security roadmap initiatives, and maintain audit-ready security evidence. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in application security, DevSecOps, vulnerability management, and integrating security practices into software development workflows.

This role focuses on strengthening internal security capabilities through automation, continuous improvement, and collaboration with engineering teams. The annual external penetration test and independent attestation will remain the responsibility of a third-party provider.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain automated security testing processes and tools for applications and software development workflows, including scripting and automation of security testing and reporting.
• Execute security roadmap initiatives and drive the implementation of planned security improvements.
• Integrate security testing and validation into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows, including configuring security gates and scan thresholds.
• Implement and maintain security testing tools, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and vulnerability scanning solutions.
• Identify, assess, prioritize, track, and coordinate the remediation of security vulnerabilities in collaboration with engineering and infrastructure teams, including remediation validation and risk-based prioritization.
• Maintain audit-ready evidence of security testing, implemented controls, remediation activities, and ongoing security initiatives.
• Support the implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of internal security controls, policies, and procedures.
• Collaborate with software developers, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to embed security best practices throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
• Prepare security reports covering testing results, vulnerability trends, remediation progress, and roadmap milestones, including security testing coverage and remediation SLA compliance.
• Identify opportunities to improve security testing coverage, automation efficiency, and the overall effectiveness of security operations.
• Coordinate internal preparation and follow-up activities for the annual external penetration test, including tracking remediation of findings and maintaining supporting documentation. The external assessment and formal attestation will be performed by a third party.
