Key Responsibilities CI/CD & Platform Engineering Contribute to the build, maintenance, and improvement of secure CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) and reusable workflow templates. Develop and maintain platform automation that improves developer experience, reliability, and deployment consistency. Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, and/or CloudFormation) for repeatable, consistent environments. Support cloud-native applications using containers and Kubernetes, including troubleshooting deployments and runtime issues. Shift-Left Security & Compliance Automation Integrate and maintain SAST, DAST, and SCA scanning tools in CI/CD pipelines with actionable reporting and automated gating. Implement best practices for IAM and secrets management to minimize credential exposure and enforce least privilege. Contribute to policy-as-code controls aligned to governance requirements. Partner with Security and engineering teams to align guardrails with practical delivery workflows. AI / GenAI-Powered DevSecOps Automation Implement and maintain LLM-enabled capabilities in pipelines and platforms using production-grade LLM services (e.g., GPT, Azure OpenAI, Claude, Llama). Contribute to RAG pipelines for retrieving runbooks, standards, and historical incident or pipeline context. Build and support agent-based workflows (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen) to assist with diagnostics and remediation. Apply LLM risk controls including access boundaries, prompt injection mitigations, and auditability patterns. Observability & Operational Excellence Support platform observability and incident response with AI-driven insights and automation. Participate in tuning and evaluating AI solutions for accuracy, safety, reliability, and cost. Document standards, patterns, and runbooks to support team knowledge sharing and engineer onboarding.

Practical experience contributing to CI/CD pipeline engineering (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar). Solid programming skills in Python, Go, or Java. Working knowledge of at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP). Familiarity with microservices and distributed systems concepts. Hands‑on experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Bicep, or CloudFormation). Working knowledge of containers and Kubernetes (deployment, troubleshooting, basic operations). Security Understanding of Secure SDLC and DevSecOps practices. Experience integrating or working with SAST, DAST, and SCA tools in delivery pipelines. Familiarity with secrets management and IAM concepts and implementation. Exposure to shift‑left security practices, guardrails, and policy-as-code. AI / GenAI Exposure to or experimentation with LLMs in engineering contexts (e.g., GPT, Azure OpenAI, Claude, Llama). Basic understanding of RAG pipelines and how they are applied in practice. Awareness of agent‑based workflow frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen). Foundational understanding of embeddings, semantic search, and NLP concepts. Awareness of LLM risks such as prompt injection and data leakage, and common mitigation patterns. Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have) Exposure to AIOps tools or observability platforms. Interest in or familiarity with MLOps pipelines and model lifecycle management. Experience with QA automation frameworks. Awareness of Zero Trust architecture principles. Exposure to AI governance frameworks or compliance automation. Success Measures — What Great Looks Like Meaningful contributions to reducing manual security and ops effort through pipeline automation. Consistent delivery of secure, well‑tested code and pipeline changes with minimal rework. Active participation in improving adoption of standardized CI/CD patterns across engineering teams. AI capabilities you contribute to operate safely, with governance controls and observable behavior. Demonstrated growth in DevSecOps, cloud, and AI domains over the first 12 months. Realistic Job Preview — Important to Know This is a hands‑on engineering role — you will be writing code, building pipelines, and debugging real systems daily. You will work in ambiguous, fast‑evolving AI environments — expect iteration, experimentation, and learning on the job. A significant portion of effort involves integrating tools and diagnosing complex CI/CD and security issues. AI solutions require ongoing tuning, evaluation, and optimization — they are never fully ‘done’. You will balance speed, security, and cost trade‑offs while keeping developer workflows practical and usable. Team & Role Details Team size: 6–8 engineers across varying seniority levels.
