Job Level

About the role

  • Define and execute the long-term strategy for CI/CD across the organization, with primary ownership of our GitHub Actions ecosystem.
  • Architect reusable workflow templates, composite actions, and standardized deployment pipelines.
  • Establish guardrails for secure, compliant, and scalable build and release processes.
  • Drive pipeline performance optimization (build times, caching strategies, parallelization, artifact management).
  • Lead the design and evolution of infrastructure modules and patterns built in Terraform.
  • Create opinionated, reusable Terraform modules that abstract complexity and enforce best practices.
  • Partner with security to embed policy-as-code and compliance automation into infrastructure workflows.
  • Enable self-service infrastructure provisioning through standardized pipelines.
  • Instrument the software development lifecycle and use data to drive improvements in deployment frequency, lead time, failure rates, and recovery time.
  • Introduce automation that eliminates repetitive developer tasks.
  • Improve local-to-cloud parity and streamline branch-to-production workflows.
  • Champion trunk-based development, release automation, and progressive delivery practices.
  • Set CI/CD and infrastructure standards across multiple product lines.
  • Lead multi-team initiatives such as pipeline migrations, CI/CD consolidation, and IaC modernization efforts.
  • Publish internal documentation, reference architectures, diagrams, and enablement materials.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to engineering leadership on delivery velocity, platform scalability, and developer productivity.
  • Embed observability, testing, and rollback strategies directly into pipelines.
  • Ensure deployments are resilient, repeatable, and auditable.
  • Participate in post-incident reviews with a focus on systemic improvements to tooling and delivery processes.
  • Mentor senior engineers and DevOps practitioners in CI/CD architecture and infrastructure as code.

Requirements

  • 8–10+ years of experience spanning software engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, or developer productivity.
  • Deep hands-on expertise with CI/CD systems, especially GitHub Actions (enterprise-scale implementation preferred).
  • Strong experience building scalable infrastructure using Terraform (modules, workspaces, state management, policy integration).
  • Strong experience working within the AWS ecosystem (e.g., VPC, ECS, EC2, S3, IAM, Lambda, CloudWatch).
  • Experience designing secure, scalable pipeline architectures (artifact management, secrets handling, OIDC, ephemeral environments).
  • Proven track record of improving engineering productivity through automation and tooling.
  • Experience embedding observability and quality gates into CI/CD workflows.
  • AI-first thinking applied to pipeline optimization, incident analysis, and developer feedback loops.
  • Strong experience with monitoring, metrics, and visualization tools (e.g CloudWatch, Grafana)
  • Experience influencing technical direction across multiple teams or domains.
