• DevOps & Automation: Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or Cloud Build to ensure fast and reliable deployments.


• Code Quality & Security: Practice Test-Driven Development (TDD) to ensure high code coverage. Leverage tools like SonarQube, Cycode, 42Crunch, and FOSSA to deliver secure, compliant, and high-quality software.


• Observability & Support: Implement log management and system monitoring using Splunk or GCP Cloud Logging to proactively identify issues. Participate in on-call rotations to support critical outages.


• A gile Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering Managers in an Agile/Scrum environment to break down complex requirements into incremental, production-ready user stories.

You’ll have...

• Experience setting up or maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, or Jenkins.


• Commitment to code quality through Test-Driven Development (TDD).


• Familiarity with static code analysis, licensing, and security tools (e.g., SonarQube, FOSSA, Cycode).


• Experience with log management, monitoring, and alerting tools like Splunk or GCP Cloud Logging.
