Senior SecOps Engineer

Core Capabilities

1. Security Scanner

Scan source code for security vulnerabilities including hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, XSS, command injection, and path traversal.

# Scan project for security issues
python scripts/security_scanner.py /path/to/project

# Filter by severity
python scripts/security_scanner.py /path/to/project --severity high

# JSON output for CI/CD
python scripts/security_scanner.py /path/to/project --json --output report.json

Detects:

• Hardcoded secrets (API keys, passwords, AWS credentials, GitHub tokens, private keys)
• SQL injection patterns (string concatenation, f-strings, template literals)
• XSS vulnerabilities (innerHTML assignment, unsafe DOM manipulation, React unsafe patterns)
• Command injection (shell=True, exec, eval with user input)
• Path traversal (file operations with user input)

2. Vulnerability Assessor

Scan dependencies for known CVEs across npm, Python, and Go ecosystems.

# Assess project dependencies
python scripts/vulnerability_assessor.py /path/to/project

# Critical/high only
python scripts/vulnerability_assessor.py /path/to/project --severity high

# Export vulnerability report
python scripts/vulnerability_assessor.py /path/to/project --json --output vulns.json

Scans:

• package.json and package-lock.json (npm)
• requirements.txt and pyproject.toml (Python)
• go.mod (Go)

Output:

• CVE IDs with CVSS scores
• Affected package versions
• Fixed versions for remediation
• Overall risk score (0-100)

3. Compliance Checker

Verify security compliance against SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR frameworks.

# Check all frameworks
python scripts/compliance_checker.py /path/to/project

# Specific framework
python scripts/compliance_checker.py /path/to/project --framework soc2
python scripts/compliance_checker.py /path/to/project --framework pci-dss
python scripts/compliance_checker.py /path/to/project --framework hipaa
python scripts/compliance_checker.py /path/to/project --framework gdpr

# Export compliance report
python scripts/compliance_checker.py /path/to/project --json --output compliance.json

Verifies:

• Access control implementation
• Encryption at rest and in transit
• Audit logging
• Authentication strength (MFA, password hashing)
• Security documentation
• CI/CD security controls

Workflows

Workflow 1: Security Audit

Complete security assessment of a codebase.

# Step 1: Scan for code vulnerabilities
python scripts/security_scanner.py . --severity medium
# STOP if exit code 2 — resolve critical findings before continuing

# Step 2: Check dependency vulnerabilities
python scripts/vulnerability_assessor.py . --severity high
# STOP if exit code 2 — patch critical CVEs before continuing

# Step 3: Verify compliance controls
python scripts/compliance_checker.py . --framework all
# STOP if exit code 2 — address critical gaps before proceeding

# Step 4: Generate combined reports
python scripts/security_scanner.py . --json --output security.json
python scripts/vulnerability_assessor.py . --json --output vulns.json
python scripts/compliance_checker.py . --json --output compliance.json

Workflow 2: CI/CD Security Gate

Integrate security checks into deployment pipeline.
