What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior DevSecOps Engineer position at Lam Research?
The group you’ll be a part of
The Office of the CTO is where innovation takes center stage. We inspire our global technical community to take on grand challenges, understand emerging trends, identify the critical inflections, and drive our sustainability, Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices that will define the next generation of semiconductors and continued impact.
The impact you’ll make
Within Semiverse® Solutions at Lam Research, we build innovative software products to solve semiconductor technology challenges. Our leading 3D modeling software is revolutionizing the way semiconductor chips are fabricated around the world. Enabled by our core intellectual property – an accelerated 3D voxel modeling and visualization engine – our software is highly successful and is quickly evolving as our business and customer base expand rapidly.
As a Senior DevSecOps Engineer, you will be part of the Engineering Operations team, owning the security health of our desktop software products, web applications, and development pipelines. You’ll upgrade third-party and open-source dependencies directly in our product code, run automated tests, and troubleshoot compatibility issues. You’ll maintain the security scanning built into our CI/CD pipelines, and you’ll work closely with Product Security Engineers and Application Security Engineers in our central InfoSec organization to guide our products through a Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). This is a senior-level position with opportunities for independently driving projects to completion as well as technical career growth.
What You’ll Do
We believe it is important for every person to feel valued, included, and empowered to achieve their full potential. By bringing unique individuals and viewpoints together, we achieve extraordinary results.
