• Design and maintain Infrastructure as Code and environment automation using Terraform and AWS services.

• Drive standardization of configuration management, package management, artifact management, and software delivery processes.

• Modernize existing Jenkins-based CI/CD workflows and contribute to the transition toward a scalable AWS-based delivery architecture.

• Collaborate with software engineering, IT, CloudOps, QA, and security teams to integrate development workflows with enterprise infrastructure and security toolchains.

• Implement monitoring, metrics, alerting, and automated engineering reporting for build, testing, release, and deployment processes.

• Design and maintain software packaging and installation solutions, including Windows installers, Linux packages, and deployable system images.

• Manage third-party software lifecycles, including licensing, dependencies, version planning, upgrades, and integration into controlled build environments.

• Integrate security automation into CI/CD workflows, including SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets scanning, artifact scanning, and dependency controls.

• Establish and improve DevOps operating models, release engineering standards, delivery governance, and automation practices across platform and product teams.

• Contribute technical leadership and guidance to engineering teams while promoting reliable, scalable, and maintainable delivery practices.

Requirements

• Master's degree in STEM or equivalent practical experience.

• 10+ years of professional experience in DevOps, build and release engineering, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, software delivery engineering, or closely related disciplines.

• Proven experience designing and implementing CI/CD architectures for complex, multi-language software environments.

• Strong hands-on expertise with Jenkins and modern CI/CD concepts.

• Deep practical knowledge of AWS services used for software delivery and automation, particularly S3, CodeArtifact, and related deployment services.

• Expert-level Infrastructure as Code experience, particularly with Terraform.

• Strong Git and GitHub workflow experience.

• Extensive experience with build systems and packaging for C/C++, C#, and Python, including tools such as MSBuild, CMake, make, pip, Poetry, and related mechanisms.

• Proven experience developing Windows installers, Linux packages, deployment automation, and software installation solutions.

• Strong scripting and automation capabilities using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or comparable technologies.

• Solid understanding of configuration management, package and dependency management, artifact lifecycle, traceability, software supply chains, and deployment strategies.

• Experience integrating engineering workflows with security tooling, including SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets scanning, artifact scanning, and dependency scanning.

• Experience with monitoring, observability, metrics, and engineering reporting tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, SonarQube, or similar platforms.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and work effectively across R&D, IT, CloudOps, QA, and security teams.

• Experience with hybrid environments spanning developer workstations, instruments, on-premise systems, and AWS cloud is a strong advantage.

• Familiarity with software license management, third-party component governance, artifact repositories, binary/package lifecycle management, and controlled upgrade processes is beneficial.

• Experience creating deployment images, including ISO-based or image-based delivery approaches, is a plus.

• Exposure to MLOps or DataOps workflows is advantageous.
