DevSecOps Platform Engineer

Secure the pipeline. Strengthen every release.

DevSecOps Platform Engineers create and manage the secure platforms, automation and development workflows used to deliver software. They integrate security throughout the software lifecycle so that applications can be developed, tested and released quickly without treating protection as a final-stage requirement.

Where Our Graduates Work

Real Careers. Real Impact.

  • Securing the Software Supply Chain In April 2026, Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency warned that threat actors were increasingly targeting third-party software, package installations, APIs and automated development pipelines. DevSecOps Platform Engineers reduce this exposure by embedding governance, verification and automated security checks across development workflows.
  • Protecting Foundational Cloud Services Singapore’s proposed Digital Infrastructure Bill would require major cloud and data-centre providers to implement cybersecurity measures, business-continuity processes and disaster-recovery plans. These requirements increase the need for engineers who can translate security policies into automated platform controls and resilient operating practices.
  • Future Ready Singapore plans to introduce an updated Cybersecurity Code of Practice for Critical Information Infrastructure and a new code for cloud services later in 2026, responding to advanced persistent threats and faster AI-enabled attacks. DevSecOps professionals will be central to applying these evolving requirements throughout software development and cloud operations.
