You'll join a collaborative and globally distributed environment that values innovation, autonomy, and continuous improvement.

• Lead the design, implementation, and standardization of CI/CD pipelines to improve software delivery efficiency, reliability, and scalability across engineering teams.
• Establish and enforce development workflows, branching strategies, quality gates, and release management standards to ensure consistent engineering practices.
• Drive continuous integration and deployment initiatives, improving build validation, release automation, traceability, and early defect detection.
• Implement and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices to create scalable, repeatable, and consistent environments throughout the development lifecycle.
• Promote containerization strategies and modern deployment practices to improve system portability, reliability, and operational efficiency.
• Assess existing DevOps maturity levels and lead initiatives that reduce manual processes while increasing automation adoption across teams.
• Integrate code quality, testing, and validation tools into development workflows to strengthen software quality and engineering standards.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineering teams, influencing best practices and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to identify opportunities for process optimization and enhanced delivery performance.

Requirements

• 6+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or related infrastructure-focused roles.
• Proven experience leading CI/CD transformation initiatives and implementing scalable automation strategies across engineering organizations.
• Strong expertise with modern CI/CD platforms, including Git-based pipelines, Jenkins, or equivalent automation solutions.
