In This Role You Will Design, implement, maintain, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines and shared DevOps infrastructure for desktop and web software products. Support product teams with build, test, packaging, deployment, release, and software lifecycle management activities. Develop reusable automation, pipeline components, scripts, and technical documentation that improve consistency across teams. Own complex technical improvements from analysis and design through implementation, rollout, and operational support. Support GitHub or GitLab repositories, runners or agents, artifact management, access patterns, and related developer tooling. Contribute to secure SDLC practices through automated code, dependency, container, and secrets scanning, vulnerability remediation, and software supply chain controls. Perform root cause analysis for recurring build, pipeline, deployment, environment, and release failures and implement durable corrective actions. Plan and execute upgrades, migrations, and deprecation activities for development tools, operating systems, build environments, containers, and platform components. Use approved AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate development, testing, documentation, troubleshooting, and automation, and help teams adopt effective practices. Collaborate with DevOps Leads, software engineers, architects, cybersecurity specialists, and product stakeholders to define and prioritize improvements.
