What you will do

• Own scheduled CI/CD pipelines for the on-premises network security appliance across regression, integration, UI/functional, nightly, and on-demand workflows.
• Author and maintain GitHub Actions workflows, reusable actions, cross-repository orchestration, matrix builds, self-hosted runners, and secrets and permissions controls.
• Migrate legacy Jenkins jobs, implement merge queues and automated flaky-test quarantine, and maintain GitHub repositories, branch protections, teams, access, branches, builds, and artifacts.
• Modernize physical and virtual build and lab infrastructure through ephemeral runners, automated patching, and infrastructure as code.
• Manage code signing, release packaging, version metadata, validation environments, release notes, changelogs, security scans, and remediation workflows.
• Extend CI/CD and infrastructure support to Go and Node microservices deployed to AWS using Docker, Terraform/Terragrunt, and the Serverless Framework, while expanding AI-assisted operational automation with human review gates.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in DevOps, release engineering, build engineering, or Linux systems administration supporting a production software product.
• Strong Bash and Python scripting skills.
• Hands-on experience with GitHub Actions, including workflow dispatch, cross-repository orchestration, self-hosted runners, matrix strategies, and secrets management.
• Working knowledge of JVM or compiled-language build lifecycles such as Ant or Gradle, and experience troubleshooting or decommissioning legacy CI schedulers such as Jenkins.
• Linux systems administration experience covering package and service management, capacity planning, scheduled jobs, credentials, and production build or lab host troubleshooting.
• GitHub organization administration experience covering repositories, branch protections, teams, and access management.
• Experience triaging CI/CD failures under time pressure and distinguishing product regressions from infrastructure or environmental flakiness.
• Familiarity with automated release tooling, conventional commits, build signing, versioning, and release-candidate validation gates.
• Demonstrated use of AI-assisted or agentic tooling in operational or automation work, with judgment regarding autonomous execution and human review.
• Experience with SAST, SCA, or comparable security and quality scanning, including converting findings into actionable work; strong written communication; Docker and container packaging knowledge; and a BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
