They understand value proposition, love delivering value, and take pride in learning the expansive and ever-changing business of clients. Candidates are self-motivated and relentlessly working to become more today than they were yesterday.</span></p><p><br></p><p> </p><h3>What You Will Do</h3> <p>Trility Consulting is seeking a Principal DevSecOps Consultant to lead a short-term engagement focused on establishing secure secrets management patterns, strengthening application security practices, and creating repeatable DevSecOps standards across a modern Azure-based environment.</p> <p>In this role, you will serve as a trusted advisor and hands-on technical leader, partnering with engineering and architecture teams to assess current-state practices, identify security gaps, design future-state patterns, and implement foundational security controls.
