AI DevOps Engineer
Summary
EU-remote DevOps engineer building a prototype AI agent workflow that connects Atlassian Rovo/Jira planning with GitLab Duo, turning User Stories into specs, code, tests, and Merge Requests. Core stack: Python, GitLab CI/CD, REST APIs/webhooks, and GenAI/LLM integrations.

About the project
We are building an end-to-end AI agent workflow connecting Atlassian Rovo with GitLab Duo.
The goal is to create a working prototype that connects agile planning with software development through AI-powered automation, with a clearly defined Jira-to-GitLab integration point and a concept for scaling the solution further.
Atlassian Rovo supports the planning stage by collecting requirements, using knowledge from Jira and Confluence, and creating high-quality User Stories with Acceptance Criteria.
Once a User Story is ready, the workflow is handed over to GitLab Duo, where AI supports the software development process — from generating a technical specification to creating the initial code structure, tests, and Merge Request.
Your role
Design and implement AI-driven development and DevOps workflows
Develop the integration between Jira / Atlassian Rovo and GitLab
Build automation around GitLab repositories, branches, and Merge Requests
Enable the transformation of Jira User Stories into technical specifications
Automate Git branch and initial code structure creation
Support AI-assisted code and test generation
Automate Merge Request creation and preparation
Define and implement the technical handoff between Jira and GitLab
Develop automation and integration components using Python
Work with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations
Integrate AI capabilities into existing software development and DevOps processes
Contribute to the design of a scalable solution beyond the initial prototype
What we’re looking for
Experience as a DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Automation Engineer, Developer Experience Engineer, or in a similar technical role
Strong hands-on experience with GitLab, including CI/CD, repositories, branches, and Merge Requests
Strong understanding of CI/CD, Git workflows, and modern software development processes
Strong hands-on Python experience, particularly for automation and integrations
Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations
Good understanding of Generative AI, LLMs, AI agents, and AI-driven automation
Experience with Jira, Confluence, or other Atlassian products
Ability to integrate automation and AI capabilities into existing technical workflows
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
