What you will do

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines, versioning automation, and artifact signing across services and repositories.
• Define and roll out standardized build patterns, reusable pipeline templates, and “golden” configurations.
• Manage and optimize build infrastructure (executors, runners, caching, containerized environments) to reduce lead time, flakiness, and cost.
• Embed security and supply-chain controls into pipelines, including vulnerability scanning, secrets management, policy enforcement, and SBOM generation.
• Implement branching, versioning, and release strategies to improve predictability and rollback safety.
• Administer artifact management platforms (e.g., JFrog Artifactory), including repository layout, retention, immutability, and provenance metadata.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, build/release engineering, or platform engineering with deep CI/CD automation expertise.
• Proven experience designing, scaling, and operating complex CI/CD systems using tools such as CircleCI, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.
• Strong expertise in Git-based workflows, branching strategies, pull request governance, and protected branch policies.
• Hands-on experience administering artifact repositories (e.g., JFrog Artifactory) including repository design and metadata management.
• Deep understanding of build systems and dependency management (Maven, Gradle, npm, etc.).
• Experience designing secure software supply-chain processes including signing, SBOM generation, and vulnerability scanning.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code experience (CDK, Terraform, Ansible, Chef, etc.) applied to CI/CD infrastructure.
• Experience with containerized build environments (Docker) and cloud platforms (AWS or equivalent).
• Proficiency in scripting or programming (Python, Bash, Go, etc.) to build automation tooling.
• Candidates must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.

• Prior experience leading CI/CD modernization, platform migrations, or tooling consolidation initiatives.
• Familiarity with progressive delivery patterns such as blue/green or canary releases.
