Technical Notes & Focus Area

The ideal candidate must have a Dev Enablement background with application development-oriented skills/experience, who has successfully transitioned into DevOps and/or Cloud Engineering. We are not looking for a purely Operations, Infrastructure, SRE, or Architect background.

Required Skills & Keywords:

• Jenkins & Groovy Mastery: Expert in Jenkins pipeline orchestration using Groovy (Shared Libraries) to build scalable, reusable automation.
• Modern SCM & CI/CD: Proficiency with GitHub (Actions, Workflows, and Advanced Security) and Git-based branching strategies.
• Automation & Tooling: Advanced Bash scripting and Python development; experience using Flask to build internal tools/APIs is a major plus.
• Build Systems: Deep knowledge of Maven and Gradle for Java microservices and npm/yarn for Angular applications.
• App-Dev Lifecycle: Strong understanding of the end-to-end "Code-to-Cloud" flow, including containerization, automated testing integration, and deployment logic.
• Environment & Observability: Experience with Jenkins on EKS (or general cloud deployment) and familiarity with Splunk and Datadog for monitoring and logging.

Job Summary

Key Responsibility: Own the "Developer Experience" by automating the path to production. You will bridge the gap between application code and cloud infrastructure, ensuring 45 squads have a consistent, scalable, and reliable delivery framework.

As a member of the product delivery team, you will be in charge of owning the CI/CD pipeline through lower development environments all the way to production. You will review, analyze, and recommend solutions and tools to improve the software development process, all while maintaining existing build processes and leading the design and implementation of their replacement. You will be an integral part of the overall product release process.

The Expertise We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of software engineering, configuration management, & release engineering for large-scale enterprise applications.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD processes, and experience with tools like Jenkins.
• Understanding of container technologies and orchestrators like Docker & Kubernetes.
• Understanding of different build tools and package managers for different programming languages (e.g., Mvn, Gradle, Npm, pip).
• Experience with Git (and implementations like Bitbucket/GitLab/GitHub), and with repositories such as Artifactory.
• Developer-oriented mindset with the ability to design automations to solve problems and create solutions — proficient in scripting languages such as Groovy, Shell, Python, and/or similar languages.
• Ability to understand the complete development flow and make recommendations on changes or improvements to the development teams (Testing Stages, Coverage Reports, Quality Gates, Security Scans, Environment Promotions).
• Understanding different components of an application (Database/Mid-tier/Messaging/User-Interface/Configuration).
• Experience with core AWS Services and ability to build automated processes using SDK or CLI.

Nice to Have

• Web services and/or UI application development experience is a plus.
• Experience with Kubernetes for large-scale enterprise services.
• Knowledge of Datadog, OTEL, or other logging, observability, monitoring, or APM tools.

The Skills You Bring

• Ability to review, analyze, and recommend solutions and tools to improve the software development & CI/CD process.
• Develop and support the Continuous Integration process, innovating where needed for solutions that are adaptable to current issues.
• Ability to create readable and detailed documentation to explain flows, architectural diagrams, or processes.
• Trace complex CI/CD scenarios, release issues, and environment issues in a multi-component environment.
• Develop, maintain, and enhance key parts of the release procedures and processes. Coordinate release activities with Release Management, Project Management, QA, and Development teams to ensure a smooth rollout of releases.
