Role Description:

As a Technical Lead, you will work on end-to-end CI/CD pipelines-from building and test through promotion and deployment-by establishing standardized, governed pipeline patterns that are secure, reliable, scalable, and audit-ready. You'll accelerate delivery outcomes by embedding quality gates, security scanning, and automation-first practices, while also advancing responsible AI adoption to improve engineering throughput.

What you have

Key responsibilities:

CI/CD Platform Ownership
• Own CI/CD pipelines from build → test → artifact → promotion → deploy using enterprise CI/CD tooling and pipeline-as-code patterns; ensure repeatability and operational readiness.
• Build and maintain standard pipeline templates / shared workflows that reduce setup per team and enable self-service onboarding at scale.
• Define and enforce branch protections, environment controls, approvals, rollout/rollback patterns, and consistent release practices aligned with reliability and release management needs.

Quality Gates & Continuous Compliance
• Implement automated quality gates (tests, code quality checks, security scans) directly in pipelines to shift-left and reduce risk.
• Leverage security capabilities and partner with security stakeholders to improve remediation speed and governance via pipeline enforcement.
• Drive "audit-ready by design" delivery with automated evidence and reduced manual gates where appropriate.

Observability, Metrics, and Continuous Improvement
• Establish pipeline observability and platform health monitoring; use delivery metrics to guide improvements and communicate outcomes.
• Identify bottlenecks and reduce friction across build/test/deploy workflows; drive continuous improvement via feedback loops and standard upgrades.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship
• Provide technical direction across teams through architecture reviews, code reviews, pairing/mentorship, and documentation-raising the bar on engineering practices.
• Run office hours / enablement sessions and create clear guidance that helps teams adopt standard pipelines and troubleshoot effectively.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in information technology, Computer Science, related degree field OR related work experience in lieu of the degree
• 8+ years in CI/CD, DevOps, platform engineering, or software delivery automation.
• Strong hands-on experience with the GitHub ecosystem and CI/CD tools, including workflow/pipeline authoring and operational troubleshooting.
• Experience integrating automated testing and static analysis/security scanning into pipelines and enforcing gates/guardrails.
• Working knowledge of cloud + deployment environments and container-based delivery patterns in CI/CD contexts.
• Strong communication and documentation skills; ability to influence engineering, security, and operations stakeholders.
• AI experience in software delivery contexts (e.g., AI-assisted development workflows, AI-enabled automation, or practical exposure to tools such as AI coding assistants), with a focus on safe usage and guardrail
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with GitHub Advanced Security capabilities and scaling security-by-default in pipelines.
• Experience with runner fleet scaling and hybrid execution patterns for CI/CD at enterprise scale.
  
• Infrastructure-as-code depth (e.g., Terraform modules/standards), plus practical deployment automation in multi-environment promotions.
  
• Familiarity with enterprise SDLC governance, change management automation, and evidence generation within delivery workflows.
  
• Experience with broader DevOps toolchains (e.g., Atlassian suite, artifact repos, feature flags, test tooling).

In addition to the base pay range, this role is also eligible for bonus or incentive opportunities
