Director, DevSecOps Enablement Lead

At The Hartford, we’re determined to make a difference and are proud to be an insurance company that goes well beyond coverages and policies. Working here means having every opportunity to achieve your goals – and to help others accomplish theirs, too. Join our team as we help shape the future.

Overview

The Enterprise DevOps organization is responsible for accelerating secure, automated, and AI-enabled software delivery practices across The Hartford. We are seeking an enablement-focused leader based in HIG India to work closely with Reliability Engineers supporting Lines of Business and development teams across all LOBs, helping teams adopt DevSecOps automation, improve delivery consistency, and scale modern engineering practices through a train-the-trainer model.

What You’ll Be Doing

The Hartford is transforming how software is delivered by embedding automation, security, reliability, and AI into everyday engineering workflows. DevSecOps Enablement plays a critical role in helping Reliability Engineers, application teams, and LOB-aligned development organizations adopt standard tooling, secure-by-default practices, and repeatable delivery patterns.

As the DevSecOps Enablement Lead, you will drive enterprise adoption of automation and AI-enabled engineering practices across HIG India and the broader technology organization. You will partner closely with Reliability Engineers aligned to LOBs, Development teams, Platform Engineering, Security, and DevSecOps tool owners to identify adoption friction, create practical enablement plans, and scale learning through champions, communities of practice, playbooks, demos, office hours, and train-the-trainer programs. This role is responsible for moving teams from awareness to sustained adoption, with measurable outcomes tied to productivity, quality, security, and delivery speed.

Responsibilities

• Lead DevSecOps enablement across HIG India, partnering with Reliability Engineers who support LOBs and development teams across the enterprise.
• Drive adoption of automation capabilities across CI/CD, security scanning, release orchestration, infrastructure provisioning, developer onboarding, and operational workflows.
• Build and execute a train-the-trainer model that equips Reliability Engineers, technical leads, and LOB champions to coach teams on standard DevSecOps and AI-enabled engineering practices.
• Evangelize AI adoption goals by translating enterprise AI priorities into practical engineering use cases, learning paths, demos, and adoption campaigns.
• Partner with Platform Engineering, Security, Architecture, and DevSecOps tool owners to simplify adoption paths, improve documentation, and create reusable playbooks and golden paths.
• Identify adoption friction across tools, processes, access patterns, training gaps, and LOB-specific workflows; convert insights into prioritized enablement actions.
• Measure adoption outcomes through usage telemetry, cohort participation, training completion, automation maturity, support trends, and feedback from RE and development communities.
• Create a strong enablement culture across HIG India by facilitating communities of practice, office hours, learning sessions, internal communications, and reusable knowledge assets.
  
  

• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field; equivalent practical experience will be considered.
• Experience leading DevSecOps, developer enablement, reliability engineering, platform adoption, or enterprise technology transformation initiatives.
• Strong understanding of software delivery automation, CI/CD practices, secure software delivery, release tooling, cloud engineering, and developer experience principles.
• Proven ability to partner with Reliability Engineers, LOB technology teams, application development teams, security partners, and platform teams to drive change across a matrixed enterprise.
• Experience designing and scaling enablement programs, including train-the-trainer models, communities of practice, coaching playbooks, learning paths, and adoption campaigns.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps and automation tools such as GitHub, Jenkins, uDeploy, Harness, security scanning platforms, cloud deployment services, observability tooling, and infrastructure automation.
• Demonstrated interest in AI-enabled engineering practices, including the ability to explain practical AI use cases, support responsible adoption, and translate strategic AI goals into team-level behaviors.
• Exceptional communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders, technical teams, and adoption champions.
• Strong bias for action, with a structured approach to problem-solving, adoption measurement, execution follow-through, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to work from HIG India while collaborating effectively with global teams across time zones, including U.S.-based LOB, Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, and CTO stakeholders.
