Responsibilities
- Design and improve GitHub- and Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, packaging, feature flags, rollback patterns, and release controls.
- Standardize deployment practices, release runbooks, environment promotion, operational readiness, and engineering delivery patterns.
- Create deployment procedures, SLOs, incident-response handoffs, escalation paths, and service controls for vendor-operated production.
- Provide platform and streaming architecture expertise across applications, infrastructure, databases, caching, environments, security, observability, and deployment dependencies.
- Use GitHub, Jenkins, Ansible, deployment scripting, configuration management, and infrastructure-as-code to reduce manual effort and environment drift.
- Strengthen SRE and operations practices, including observability, incident response, deployment resilience, post-incident actions, and production operability.
- Partner with engineering, architecture, security, infrastructure, product, vendor operations, and external teams to remove delivery bottlenecks and establish platform standards.
- Troubleshoot and resolve build, deployment, environment, and production-readiness issues.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- At least 8 years of hands-on engineering experience across CI/CD, DevOps, platform engineering, or release engineering in complex production software environments.
- Demonstrated expertise in CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, rollback patterns, feature flags, release controls, environment promotion, and deployment approaches.
- Strong proficiency with deployment scripting using languages such as Python, Bash, or Groovy.
- Strong proficiency with GitHub-based engineering workflows and Jenkins, Ansible, infrastructure-as-code, source control, build automation, test automation, artifact management, configuration management, and deployment scripting.
- Experience enabling vendor-operated production through release runbooks, deployment procedures, operational handoffs, knowledge transfer, and service controls.
- Hands-on streaming experience involving streaming models, event-driven architecture, asynchronous processing, and reliable production operation of streaming workloads.
- Experience with SLOs, observability, incident management, escalation procedures, post-incident improvement, and production readiness.
- Strong troubleshooting, triage, communication, partnership, transformation, and engineering-standard influence skills.
- Preferred experience with Terraform, configuration management, environment automation, and Java.
- Preferred platform architecture experience across Java applications, cloud infrastructure, databases, caching, streaming models, event-driven services, Kubernetes, Docker, Cloudflare, and related production dependencies.
- Experience in regulated, clinical, or high-availability environments involving auditability, resilience, change control, and data privacy is preferred.
