• Automate provisioning and lifecycle management of GitHub organizations, repositories, and runners.
• Manage Kubernetes-based self-hosted runners on Azure AKS, optimizing for performance and cost.
• Develop Java Spring Boot-based microservices and frontend self-service portal capabilities to enhance the developer experience and support platform functionality.
• Implement security, compliance, and observability controls.
• Monitor and troubleshoot GitHub services and runners, including participation in on-call rotations.
• Support developers with documentation, guidance, and best practices for GitHub workflows and CI/CD.
• Collaborate across teams to align standards, share knowledge, and drive adoption of platform capabilities.

What is needed in this role:

• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and GitOps principles.
• Familiarity with security, compliance, and observability tools.
• A collaborative mindset, excellent communication skills, and a passion for continuous improvement.
• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

With us, you can experience:

• Personal and professional growth through self-leadership and continuous development.
• Meaningful work that positively impacts our workplace, our customers, and society.
• An open and collaborative culture that encourages cross-functional teamwork and provides networking opportunities.
• A supportive and inclusive environment that promotes a balanced and sustainable work-life, with flexible working conditions when suitable for the role.
• Benefits such as our share based reward program Eken, company pension plan, employee offer for banking products, health insurance.
