DevSecOps Engineer
From Linux fundamentals to shipping secure software at scale — the complete DevSecOps engineer path.
Curated from the best — MDN · Kubernetes · AWS · OWASP · Google SRE & more
Senior DevSecOps Engineers command £90K–£150K+ at companies like Cloudflare, HashiCorp, Snyk, and Datadog. Post-SolarWinds and Log4Shell, supply chain and runtime security engineers are among the most sought-after profiles in cloud infrastructure. The FAANG bar now expects threat modeling, IaC security scanning, and CSPM — not just "knows how to run Trivy."
The complete path — 26 of 143 topics have lessons here; the other 117 are marked learn anywhere. We won't pretend we cover everything.
Computing & OS Foundations
The bedrock every DevSecOps engineer stands on: how computers, operating systems, and processes actually work.
Linux Command Line & Shell
Live in the terminal: navigate, automate, and operate Linux systems with confidence.
Networking Fundamentals
How packets move and how services talk — the substrate of all distributed and secure systems.
Programming & Automation Languages
Write the code that automates infrastructure, glues pipelines, and builds security tooling.
Security Fundamentals
The core security mental models that make DevSecOps 'Sec' rather than just DevOps.
Cloud Platforms
Modern infrastructure lives in the cloud — master one provider deeply and the shared-responsibility model.
Containers & Container Security
Containers are the unit of deployment — and a major attack surface you must lock down.
Kubernetes & Orchestration
Operate and secure containerized workloads at scale with Kubernetes.
Infrastructure as Code
Define infrastructure declaratively, version it, and secure it before it ever deploys.
CI/CD Pipelines
Automate build, test, and deploy — the assembly line where security gates get embedded.
Application & Code Security (Shift-Left)
Find and fix vulnerabilities in code and dependencies before they ship.
Secrets & Identity Management
Protect the keys to the kingdom — credentials, tokens, and machine identity.
Cloud Security & Posture Management
Continuously secure cloud environments against misconfiguration and drift.
Observability & Security Monitoring
You can't secure what you can't see — logs, metrics, traces, and detection.
Compliance, Governance & GRC
Translate regulatory and contractual requirements into enforceable technical controls.
Incident Response & Resilience
When prevention fails, detect fast, respond decisively, and recover gracefully.
Offensive Security & Testing
Validate defenses the way attackers do — pentesting, red teaming, and bug bounties.
DevSecOps Culture & Practices
The methodology that ties it together — shifting security left and owning it as a team.
Career, Certifications & Job Readiness
Package your skills, prove them, and land the role.
You're job-ready.
Clear every stage, earn the certificate, and walk into interviews prepared. The complete path — nothing hidden, no gaps.
