Summary

A senior DevOps engineer who owns and modernizes CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and deployment practices across engineering teams. Core stack includes Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab CI, Docker and Kubernetes, Terraform/Ansible, plus AI-assisted developer workflows and supply-chain security tooling.


  • Own and modernize CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling

  • Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines as code across multiple services and engineering teams

  • Improve deployment safety through canary, blue/green, and feature-flag-based releases

  • Build reusable pipeline templates, shared libraries, and self-service tooling

  • Improve build performance through caching, parallelization, and other approaches

  • Partner with engineering teams to remove friction from local development, testing, CI, and deployment workflows

  • Integrate AI-assisted capabilities into developer workflows, including pipeline diagnostics, test generation or selection, code-review automation, and failure triage

  • Implement software supply-chain practices including dependency scanning, artifact signing, and SBOM generation

  • Use Infrastructure-as-Code to provision and maintain CI/CD infrastructure

  • Monitor pipeline health and deployment success to drive continuous improvements

  • Help engineering teams adopt effective DevOps and delivery practices through communication, enablement, and reusable solutions



Requirements



  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent work experience

  • 5+ years of DevOps or software engineering experience, with a strong focus on CI/CD and developer tooling

  • Strong hands‑on experience with modern CI/CD platforms such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or Buildkite

  • Experience designing pipelines as code and reusable pipeline templates

  • Solid understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and deploying containerized applications through CI/CD

  • Working knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code, including Terraform and/or Ansible

  • Strong Linux administration and scripting skills using Bash, Python, or Go

  • Experience with middleware or messaging technologies such as Kafka, Redis, or RabbitMQ

  • Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or ELK

  • Strong communication skills and experience driving adoption of tooling across engineering teams

  • Progressive delivery tooling such as Argo Rollouts, Flagger, or feature‑flag platforms

  • Software supply‑chain security tooling such as Nexus, Sigstore/cosign, Syft/SBOM tooling, Snyk, or Trivy

  • Experience applying AI/LLM‑based tools to engineering workflows

  • Experience using AI/LLM‑assisted tooling to accelerate development, testing, troubleshooting, code review, or CI/CD workflows

  • Ability to evaluate AI‑generated recommendations or outputs critically before incorporating them into production engineering processes

  • Curiosity about intelligent test selection, flaky‑test detection, automated checks, and pipeline failure diagnostics



Core Competencies


Demonstrates expertise in CI/CD pipeline design and implementation, with a strong focus on modern tooling and practices. Proficient in Infrastructure-as-Code and software supply‑chain security, ensuring efficient and secure development workflows.
