Responsibilities
- Own, design, and evolve the build system for a complex product with many interdependent components and programming languages.
- Maintain reproducible build pipelines, dependency and version management, build agents and farms, artifact repositories, caching, and build capacity.
- Assemble and validate packages, images, installation artifacts, and repositories across multiple supported release lines.
- Operate release pipelines covering automated validation, regression gating, artifact signing, channel promotion, publishing, and rollback.
- Resolve compiler, library, toolchain, and dependency conflicts while maintaining build definitions and downstream patches.
- Maintain versioning, changelogs, artifact provenance, license and SBOM data, and integrations used for security scanning and audits.
- Automate build tooling, release processes, and build-environment provisioning using Python and shell.
- Support developers and QA with self-service builds, failure diagnosis, and resolution of build and packaging issues.
- Extend CI/CD coverage with commit validation, artifact promotion, and automated test integration into release gating.
- Own build hosts, builder images, artifact storage, and capacity planning while coordinating with IT and operations.
- Investigate intermittent build failures through root-cause analysis and permanent remediation.
- Document build and release processes and communicate status, risks, dependencies, and critical issues to development leadership.
