What are the responsibilities and job description for the CI/CD Engineer position at Motion Recruitment?
We are partnering with a fast-growing technology startup based in Downtown Dallas that is looking for a full time, onsite CI/CD Engineer with a strong QA and automation background. This engineer will design, implement, and manage CI/CD pipelines that power the company’s software delivery lifecycle. You will be working hands on with tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker, and Kubernetes in a dynamic environment where scalability and reliability are top priorities.
This is an opportunity to own the CI/CD function from the ground up and have a direct impact on how the company delivers modern, high-quality software. You will be part of a small, tight knit team that values innovation and collaboration, where your ideas are not only heard but implemented. If you love wearing multiple hats, experimenting with new tools, and improving processes, this is the role where you can build, influence, and scale something meaningful. Plus, you will gain the unique experience of working with distributed teams across the US and India, all while enjoying a startup culture that supports growth, flexibility, and creativity.
