This role is ideal for a technical leader who has progressed beyond basic scripting and now architects secure, scalable, and resilient DevOps ecosystems.

You will play a critical role in enhancing developer experience by building standardized, reusable automation frameworks that move code from commit to production with speed, reliability, and security. Acting as a bridge between development and operations teams, you will serve as the GitHub CI/CD Subject Matter Expert (SME) across the organization.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain advanced CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.

• Automate cloud infrastructure provisioning using Terraform for AWS and/or Azure.
• Integrate infrastructure workflows directly into GitHub Actions pipelines.
• Maintain version-controlled, auditable, and scalable infrastructure configurations.

DevSecOps & Compliance

• Embed security-by-default practices into CI/CD pipelines.
• Implement automated SAST, DAST, dependency scanning (Dependabot), and license checks.
• Manage secrets securely using GitHub Secrets, OIDC, and cloud-native secret stores.
• Enforce environment protection rules, approval gates, and deployment policies.

Runner & Platform Management

• Design, scale, and maintain self-hosted GitHub runners, including Actions Runner Controller (ARC) on Kubernetes.
• Optimize runner performance, cost, and security for high-volume build environments.
• Troubleshoot pipeline failures and infrastructure issues across environments.

Collaboration, Standards & Mentorship

• Define and enforce CI/CD standards, YAML best practices, and branching strategies.
• Act as a mentor and technical advisor to developers and junior DevOps engineers.
• Partner with engineering, security, and platform teams to improve delivery workflows.
• Evaluate and introduce new DevOps tools and best practices aligned with business goals.

Qualifications & Skills

• 6–8 years of professional experience in DevOps, SRE, or Software Engineering roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with GitHub Actions, including complex event triggers and workflow filtering, matrix builds and concurrency management, custom JavaScript-based or Docker-based GitHub Actions, GitHub Environments, approval workflows, and OIDC-based authentication.
• Strong proficiency in Python for automation and tooling.
• Working knowledge of shell scripting (Bash).
• Strong experience with Docker and Kubernetes, including hands-on exposure to managed platforms such as EKS, AKS, or GKE.
• Solid experience with AWS and/or Azure services used in CI/CD workflows.
• Expert-level knowledge of Git, including branching strategies, hooks, and GitFlow or Trunk-based development.

Preferred Skills

• Experience migrating legacy CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab CI) to GitHub Actions.
• Familiarity with GitHub Enterprise Server vs. GitHub Cloud architectures and limitations.
• Experience building internal developer platforms or golden CI/CD pipelines.
