What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineer IV position at Client Resources, Inc.?
This engineer will support the Engineering Practices team by helping define, build, and operationalize modern software engineering standards across the enterprise. This role will focus on enabling DevSecOps adoption through practical implementation of CI/CD automation, architectural fitness functions, artifact promotion patterns, developer self-service capabilities, and software supply chain governance.
Skills Desired
The enginer should bring strong hands-on engineering experience, practical DevSecOps and CI/CD knowledge, familiarity with modern and legacy application stacks, and the ability to influence engineering adoption through credibility, collaboration, and demonstrated value.
Skills Desired
- Hands-on experience building automated architectural enforcement as CI/CD fitness functions rather than relying on manual review gates
- Practical experience with artifact promotion and immutability patterns (build-once, promote-through-environments) across environments
- Experience building golden paths / paved roads within an internal developer portal that reduce cognitive load and drive self-service adoption across engineering teams
- Working knowledge of software supply chain and DevSecOps tooling. SBOM generation, dependency/license scanning, artifact repository policy enforcement (e.g., JFrog-class tooling), and OSS governance workflows
- Familiarity with CI/CD platforms including self-hosted runner environments, and experience shifting security/quality checks left into the pipeline
- Strong coding ability across modern languages, with enough legacy-stack fluency (e.g., Java/EJB) to assess and refactor unfamiliar codebases
- Proven ability to drive adoption of technical standards across engineering orgs without direct authority. Through review processes, documentation, and demonstrable value rather than mandate
- Experience designing tiered technology intake processes (e.g., approved-catalog self-serve, net-new request workflows, automated OSS/dependency intake) that balance governance with developer velocity
- Working knowledge of instrumenting DORA metrics and using them to diagnose systemic delivery constraints rather than team-level performance
- Familiarity with catalog-based system health, scorecards, and governance patterns typical of internal developer portal platforms
- Experience acting as a credibility anchor for engineering standards and practices. Someone other engineers trust to have built and validated what they're recommending, not just documented it
- Mentorship orientation: raising the technical bar of the broader engineering org, not just delivering personal output
- Build and implement automated architectural and engineering controls within CI/CD pipelines to reduce reliance on manual review gates.
- Support build-once, promote-through-environments deployment patterns using immu artifacts and artifact repository controls.
- Help design and deliver golden paths / paved roads within the internal developer portal to reduce developer cognitive load and improve self-service adoption.
- Integrate security, quality, OSS, SBOM, dependency, license, and artifact policy checks into CI/CD workflows.
- Assist with engineering standards adoption through documentation, review processes, reusable patterns, and hands-on coaching.
- Support technology intake and OSS governance workflows that balance risk management with developer velocity.
- Help instrument and interpret DORA metrics to identify systemic delivery constraints and improvement opportunities.
- Contribute to developer portal scorecards, catalog health indicators, and governance patterns.
- Mentor engineering teams and serve as a credible technical partner who can validate practices through working examples, not just documentation.
