Temp Python Coding Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Description Summary:

We are seeking a temporary (estimated 6 months) Development, Security, and Operations "DevSecOps" Engineer to support and scale the organization's citizen development initiatives. This role works closely with non-traditional developers - analysts, business users, and rapid prototypers - to transition experimental or prototype applications into secure, supportable, and production-ready solutions.
The DevSecOps Engineer acts as the connective tissue between business-driven innovation and enterprise engineering standards - emphasizing enablement over gatekeeping, while enforcing sound software development lifecycle, security, and operational practices. This position is designed to offload and formalize a significant portion of the day-to-day operational work currently performed by senior engineers, allowing them to focus on higher-order architecture, platform design, and governance.
This position is a full-time exempt role and can be based in any of our U.S. office locations and some remote locations.

Job Description:

• Partner directly with citizen developers to refactor, harden, and productionize applications built with Python, JavaScript, and low-code/automation platforms.
• Guide developers on repository structure, branching strategies, pull requests, and versioning.
• Translate loosely defined or experimental solutions into maintainable, supportable codebases.
• Establish, document, and enforce SDLC best practices including source control standards, CI/CD pipelines for build, test, and deployment, and environment separation (development, UAT, production).
• Create and maintain reusable DevSecOps "golden paths" including standardized pipeline templates, deployment frameworks, and secure configuration and secrets management patterns.
• Perform code reviews with emphasis on security vulnerabilities, error handling, resilience, and maintainability.
• Integrate and operate automated security tooling: SAST, dependency/vulnerability scanning, and secrets detection.
• Work closely with security teams to ensure applications meet enterprise requirements without unnecessary friction.
• Support deployments through controlled CI/CD pipelines, eliminating manual or ad-hoc release processes.
• Troubleshoot pipeline failures, deployment issues, configuration problems, and environment-specific bugs.
• Assist with incident response for citizen-developed applications running in production.
• Help remediate security findings and technical debt discovered post-deployment.
• Document patterns, standards, and common fixes to reduce repeated friction.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

Desired Skills and Qualifications:

• Advanced proficiency with Git-based source control and collaborative workflows.
• Advanced hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (Repos, Pipelines, Boards).
• Intermediate familiarity with Microsoft Azure services (App Services, Functions, Container Apps, or similar).
• Intermediate knowledge of application security fundamentals: secrets management, dependency risk, and secure configuration.
• Intermediate ability to review and reason about Python and/or JavaScript code.
• Advanced analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.
• Structured thinking; comfortable bringing order to unstructured or rapidly developed codebases.
• Enablement mindset with a bias toward pragmatic solutions; meets developers where they are.
• Demonstrated experience implementing and operating CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience supporting citizen development or low-code platforms preferred.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Bicep, or similar) preferred.
• Experience with containerization technologies (Docker) preferred.
• Exposure to security tooling such as Microsoft Defender, Snyk, or equivalent preferred.

Reporting to the Senior Solutions ＆ Automation Manager, the ideal candidate will have 3+ years of experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, or related engineering roles. A Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field is preferred.
