Silpa Companies is hiring a GitOps / CI‑CD Engineer for client engagements focused on delivery‑pipeline modernization. You will lead the move from imperative pipelines to GitOps‑driven delivery, ship safe deployment patterns (canary, progressive, automated rollback), integrate supply‑chain security (SBOM, signing, attestations), and partner with engineering teams as the people who actually use the system you build.

Build progressive‑delivery patterns using Argo Rollouts, Flagger, or feature‑flag platforms. Build secure‑by‑default pipeline templates that internal teams reuse rather than re‑derive. Implement secrets handling at the pipeline boundary using OIDC federation, Vault, or cloud‑native equivalents. Partner with AppSec on pipeline‑integrated SAST, DAST, SCA tuning. Author runbooks and onboard client engineers onto the new pipeline platform. 4 or more years of CI/CD or platform engineering experience. Production GitOps experience on Argo CD or Flux. Hands‑on pipeline authorship at scale on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps. Working knowledge of supply‑chain security practice (SBOM, signing, attestations). Strong scripting skills in Python or Bash. Working knowledge of Kubernetes deployment patterns. Authorized to work in the U.S. Candidates located in the Houston, Texas area will be given preference; remote consultants will also be considered. Reliable, secure internet connection and ability to travel to client sites as required by engagement scope.
