  • Lead or support modernization initiatives that move legacy applications toward highly available, resilient, and scalable architectures.
  • Implement and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions to improve environment consistency, auditability, and automation.
Security, Quality & SDLC Enablement
  • Embed security controls and static application security testing (SAST) tools such as Veracode into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Collaborate with development and security teams to automate vulnerability detection and remediation workflows.
  • Enhance QA and testing capabilities through automated test execution, environment management, and release validation processes.
  • Establish metrics and reporting that provide visibility into pipeline health, deployment success, and security compliance.
Required Qualifications
  • Experience designing and managing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
  • Strong understanding of GitHub administration, repository management, branching strategies, and pull request workflows.
  • Experience with containerization technologies, including Docker.
  • Experience supporting Kubernetes or similar container orchestration platforms.
  • Experience deploying and supporting applications in cloud environments, preferably Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform).
  • Knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or similar technologies.
