WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
- Design and Build Base Images for multiple runtimes (Java, Python, Node.js, Go, etc.).
- Good understanding of multi-stage builds, distroless, caching, and minimal OS layers to reduce size and speed up builds.
- Use Cosign to sign and verify images, ensuring end-to-end supply chain trust.
- Strong understanding of security and compliance such as FIPS 140-2/3, CIS, STIG and NIST.
- Collaborate with Engineering, DevSecOps, Cloud Platform, and Security Compliance teams to align image contents with infrastructure, compliance, and runtime needs across all environments.
- Deep Linux expertise (Alpine, Ubuntu, RHEL etc…) , package management, and hardening knowledge to secure base layers.
- Build and manage automated image pipelines using GitLab CI.
- Maintain image governance through versioning, tagging, and lifecycle policies across internal and external registries.
- Distribute and manage images across AWS, Azure, and GCP registries with signature checks.
- Ensure base images are optimized for K8s workloads and integrate with Helm charts and DevOps pipelines.
- Embed image scanning and compliance checks using Amazon Inspector, MicroSoft Defender, Trivy, Grype etc..
- Work closely with the ConMon (Continuous Monitoring) team to share vulnerability results, apply fixes and maintain false positives dashboards.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Expert in Docker, Linux, and container image optimization.
- Hands-on with Cosign, Sigstore, and container supply chain security.
- Strong understanding of DevOps, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud ecosystems.
- Familiar with FIPS, CIS, FedRAMP, and NIST compliance frameworks.
