You will design, build, and maintain end-to-end CI/CD pipelines across the full SDLC with deep hands-on GitLab/GitHub Actions expertise, and you will embed security, quality, and compliance into delivery while collaborating with security, SRE, QA, product, and release teams.

You will connect delivery events to operational tools, document platform standards and runbooks, troubleshoot failures, and mentor engineers

Qualifications

• Hands-on expertise in Gitlab/GitHub/GitHub Actions (branch protection, PR workflows, required checks, runners, reusable/composite workflows, release automation, and governance).
• Establish Enterprise level reusable pipeline templates and workflow standards, integrate infrastructure-as-code and declarative YAML configurations, and support secure, reliable deployments across environments (dev/test/staging/prod and ephemeral previews), including containerization and orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Embed security, quality, and compliance into delivery through secrets management, least-privilege access, audit logging, supply-chain protections (SBOMs, artifact signing, provenance), and security scanning/policy-as-code—while partnering smoothly with security teams.
• Connect delivery events to operational and planning tools (Slack notifications/approvals/incident alerts and Jira traceability), document platform standards and runbooks, troubleshoot and debug pipeline/deployment failures, and translate platform engineering work into measurable business and delivery impact by collaborating closely with application engineers, SREs, QA, product, and release management.
