Meet the Team Cisco Intersight is a cloud-native operations platform that provides unified management, automation, visibility, and lifecycle operations for infrastructure across data center, cloud, and edge environments. Its SaaS, on-premises, and mobile offerings depend on secure, reliable automation that enables engineering teams to build, test, release, and operate software at scale. We are looking for an experienced Security Officer / DevSecOps Engineer to provide senior security guidance and hands-on engineering contribution within the Intersight DevSecOps function. This role partners closely with engineering, architecture, product management, SRE, compliance, Cisco's Security and Trust Organization (STO), and leadership teams to help Intersight meet security, privacy, corporate, and regulatory requirements while enabling rapid and secure product delivery. Your Impact In this role, you will be a senior security partner for Intersight engineering and DevSecOps. You will assess security impact, clarify requirements, prioritize risk, guide remediation, and contribute hands-on to security automation, hardening, and remediation work. Assess and guide improvements to the security posture of Intersight applications and delivery workflows across SaaS, on-premises, and mobile offerings.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
