You thrive in a highly collaborative environment, are comfortable operating in complex systems, and have a proactive mindset for identifying bottlenecks and implementing improvements. You combine technical depth with a practical, results-driven attitude.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Own and maintain the staging-mainline integration process, ensuring branch integrity and delivery quality across multi-site engineering teams.

• Design, deploy, and manage CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Ansible, integrated with Kubernetes and MaaS environments.

• Implement automation frameworks for build, validation, and deployment processes across pre-silicon and post-silicon development workflows.

• Develop and maintain infrastructure as code for reproducible and scalable environments.

• Architect intelligent CI/CD systems using AI to accelerate delivery and scale operations.

• Collaborate with software, validation, and release management teams to define integration policies and version control best practices.

• Monitor, analyze, and continuously improve build system reliability, performance, and scalability.

• Manage tools and workflows in GitHub, ensuring code integration consistency, branch health, and effective use of pull requests, reviews, and CI gating.

• Work with release management, program management, and technical leads to track and deliver milestones through Jira and other internal tracking systems.

• Drive incident response, root cause analysis, and preventive measures for infrastructure and pipeline issues.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Strong, proven experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or similar.

• Familiarity with Kubernetes, container orchestration, Ansible, and infrastructure automation principles.

• Hands-on experience managing Git-based workflows and mainline integration at scale.

• Experience with MaaS, bare-metal provisioning, and cloud or hybrid infrastructure environments.

• Enabled smarter CI/CD workflows through strategic AI deployments

• Proven ability to manage complex cross-functional integrations involving multiple repositories and teams.

• Solid understanding of software configuration management, build systems, and continuous delivery practices.

• Proficient with scripting languages (Python, Bash, or similar) for automation and tooling development.

• Familiarity with monitoring, metrics, and reliability engineering tools and concepts (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, ELK stack).

• Excellent communication and documentation skills, with the ability to explain complex systems clearly and effectively.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Software or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
