Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain efficient, secure CI/CD pipelines using platforms such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
• Develop reusable automation scripts and frameworks in Python and Ansible to streamline testing, packaging, and deployment workflows.
• Integrate automated security scanning, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation, compliance validation, and vulnerability remediation into CI/CD processes using industry-standard tools (e.g., Anchore, Trivy, Grype, OpenSCAP, or equivalents).
• Build and maintain automation for containerized application deployment and testing using Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm.
• Automate setup and configuration of monitoring and logging systems leveraging technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK/EFK stacks.
• Identify and eliminate manual bottlenecks, propose automation strategies, and contribute to shared frameworks that improve reliability, velocity, and compliance.
• Strong experience designing and managing declarative or scripted pipelines in CI/CD platforms (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps).
• Proficiency in Python and Ansible for automation, configuration management, and orchestration.
• Hands‑on experience with Docker and Kubernetes in automated build, test, and deployment workflows.
• Familiarity with integrating security and compliance tools (static/dynamic analysis, vulnerability scanning, SBOM generation) into CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid understanding of Git‑based workflows, DevSecOps principles, and automated testing practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with compliance or security automation frameworks (e.g., CIS benchmarks, NIST standards, or organization‑specific hardening guidelines).
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK/EFK.
• Exposure to cloud‑native CI/CD and policy‑as‑code systems such as OPA, Terraform Cloud, Harness, or Argo Workflows.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with an emphasis on process improvement and scalability.

Soft skills

• Passion for automating repetitive or error‑prone tasks.
• Attention to detail and commitment to security‑first design.
• Strong collaboration skills in cross‑functional DevSecOps teams.
• Curiosity and adaptability toward emerging automation and security technologies.
