- Design, develop, optimize, and operate GitHub Actions and Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for packaging, testing, and deploying platform utilities and applications.
- Write YAML, Bash/Shell, Python, and Go automation for pipelines, Kubernetes manifests, configuration, and operational tooling.
- Develop backend APIs and enterprise integrations using Java with Spring Boot, Go, or Python, including Apigee, OAuth2, and JWT integrations.
- Build, secure, and operate Docker or Podman containers on Kubernetes and diagnose production cluster, networking, resource, and workload issues.
- Implement observability, SLOs, monitoring, alerting, incident response, and platform-health dashboards using BigQuery and Looker Studio.
- Integrate SonarQube into CI/CD pipelines for code-quality and security gates and embed security, compliance, secrets management, least privilege, and supply-chain hygiene into platform workflows.
- Build AI-assisted engineering integrations and utilities using tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI, QODO, and JetBrains AI Assistant.
- Design prompt-driven automation and LLM orchestration for code, templates, technical content, infrastructure as code, testing, incident triage, and operational workflows.
- Support production LLM and agentic workloads, including infrastructure scaling, cost control, GPUs, and model-serving patterns when applicable.
