Job description

CI/CD Team Lead / Technical Delivery Manager

Own the CI/CD platform every development team on a federal program depends on, and lead its 90-day transition with zero disruption to production.

About the role

Innosoft Corporation is standing up the DevSecOps platform function for a large digital services contract supporting a federal health agency. You will own the continuous integration and delivery platform every development team depends on, and you will own the 90-day transition of that platform from the incumbent contractor. The customer has set zero disruption to production operations as a non-negotiable transition requirement. You are the person accountable for meeting it.

This is a hands-on platform leadership role. It suits someone who has run a large Jenkins or CloudBees estate in production, not someone who has only architected one.

Scale and context

• 25 CloudBees CI controllers under management.
  
• Approximately 70,000 builds per month.
  
• More than 10,000 repositories across GitHub Cloud and GitHub Enterprise.
  
• Up to approximately 1,000 users per tool.
  
• 25 or more build package types in Artifactory.
  
• A 90-day transition with defined phase gates.
  

Location and schedule

• Remote within the continental United States, with periodic on-site presence in the Baltimore, MD area.
  
• Full-time, salaried. Reports to the Program Manager.
  
• Heightened availability during transition cutover and peak release windows.
  

What you will do

CI/CD platform operations

• Administer and configure the CloudBees Jenkins Operations Center, holding stability, high availability and consistent configuration management across all 25 managed controllers.
  
• Manage EKS autoscaling clusters for build agents, provisioning and deprovisioning compute against variable demand while holding performance, cost efficiency and cluster health.
  
• Optimize pipeline performance and monitor proactively, resolving bottlenecks, failures and degradations, and deliver automated build analytics and performance reporting.
  
• Maintain integration with GitHub Cloud and GitHub Enterprise including connectivity, webhook configuration and reliable workflow triggering.
  
• Define and enforce standardized technology stack version baselines, and publish reusable pipeline templates and shared libraries that teams consume.
  
• Maintain all controller and platform configuration as code, so any controller can be rebuilt from source without manual reconstruction.
  

Transition leadership

• Deliver a documented assessment of every tool to be transitioned, including inherited security posture.
  
• Assume operational monitoring and Level 1 incident response, and get the detailed transition plan with milestones, risk mitigation and rollback procedures approved by the customer.
  
• Assume full operational ownership and execute the first program-owned maintenance windows.
  
• Deliver the first operational status report, initiate Year 1 roadmap planning, and close the transition with zero production incidents attributable to it.
  
• Maintain parallel operation of critical tools where technically feasible; where it is not, secure an approved risk mitigation plan before cutover.
  
• Lead the testing team infrastructure separation workstream, establishing dedicated isolated CI infrastructure within its own AWS account boundaries, sequenced so no active test window is disrupted.
  

Innovation and developer enablement

• Own AI-driven pipeline resource optimization in production and the dashboards published to development teams.
  
• Deliver a phased capability roadmap for AI-assisted pipeline troubleshooting and shared library impact analysis with automated pull request validation gates.
  
• Guide teams in adopting the enterprise DevOps pipeline and support adoption of trunk-based development as part of DORA assessment.
  
• Define DevOps tool objectives for each Program Increment and track risks, blockers and progress with delivery teams.
  
• Establish and host cross-team forums, integration checkpoints, tech talks and game days.
  
• U.S. person, able to obtain and maintain a federal Public Trust suitability determination and HSPD-12 PIV credential. In-person identity proofing required.
  
• All work performed within the continental United States. No exceptions.
  
• Company-issued, federally hardened equipment required. Personal devices are not permitted.
  

What you need

• 8+ years operating enterprise CI/CD platforms, including at least 4 in production at comparable scale and at least 2 leading a delivery team.
  
• Direct hands-on Jenkins administration at scale, ideally CloudBees CI with Operations Center and managed controllers.
  
• Demonstrated experience running build infrastructure on Kubernetes including autoscaling agent fleets.
  
• Experience integrating CI/CD with GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Cloud including webhook and organization-level configuration.
  
• Demonstrated experience leading a platform transition or migration with a hard no-disruption requirement, including rollback planning.
  

Bachelor degree in a technical field, plus 8 years of relevant experience.

Equivalent combinations accepted: Master degree + 6 years, Associate degree + 10 years, High school diploma or GED + 12 years.

Preferred qualifications

• Prior experience within a CMS or HHS environment, particularly a FISMA boundary or comparable shared services platform.
  
• Experience at 50,000 or more builds per month.
  
• Experience driving trunk-based development adoption across teams that did not previously practice it.
  
• Familiarity with JFrog Artifactory and Xray in the pipeline path, and with image promotion gating on vulnerability severity.
