Responsibilities
- Own scheduled regression, BVT, integration, UI/functional, nightly, and on-demand CI/CD workflows for appliance main and release branches.
- Author and maintain GitHub Actions workflows and reusable actions, including cross-repository orchestration, matrix builds, self-hosted runners, and secrets and permissions management.
- Migrate legacy Jenkins jobs to GitHub Actions and implement preventative branch gates, merge queues, speculative or batch merging, and automated flaky-test quarantine.
- Administer GitHub repositories, branch protections, teams, user access, branches, builds, and artifacts.
- Modernize bare-metal and virtual build and lab infrastructure through ephemeral runners, automated patching, and infrastructure as code.
- Manage code signing, release packaging, build metadata, release-note and changelog generation, and validation of physical and virtual targets.
- Operate security and quality scanning pipelines, including SAST, SCA, vulnerability scanning, platform administration, and remediation-work tracking.
- Extend short-lived OIDC credentials and least-privilege identity mechanisms across appliance build and lab systems.
- Develop AI-assisted and agentic automation for triage, reporting, release notes, remediation, environment refreshes, credential rotation, and scan-to-ticket workflows with human review gates.
- Support container build and publishing, environment provisioning, Serverless Framework deployment automation, and cloud infrastructure for Go and Node microservices.
- Coordinate with engineering, QA, release management, and platform teams and document operational runbooks.

- Solid Linux systems administration experience, including package and service management, capacity planning, scheduled jobs, credential management, and troubleshooting production build and lab hosts.

- Experience triaging CI/CD failures and distinguishing product regressions from environmental or infrastructure flakiness.

- Experience with security and quality scanning tools and converting findings into actionable engineering work.
- Strong written communication and cross-team coordination skills.
