Responsibilities

  • Own the software-factory roadmap, architecture, tooling decisions, reusable pipeline templates, and golden-path standards.
  • Build and operate shared pipelines for building, testing, scanning, signing, and deploying software.
  • Embed security scanning, policy enforcement, risk thresholds, and automated release decisions into pipeline stages.
  • Operate versioning, environment promotion, release gates, expedited hotfix pipelines, and release governance.
  • Automate dependency updates, track dependency health, generate SBOMs, and verify artifact signing and provenance.
