What you'll do
Define the roadmap and technical vision for CI/CD, from problem identification through org-wide adoption.
Identify where CI/CD is a bottleneck, a source of friction, or a security: risk before it becomes an incident, and drive the remediation rather than waiting to be assigned it.
Design and enforce release gates covering supply chain integrity, artifact: provenance, and release readiness, built to scale across teams without becoming a tax on engineering velocity.
Direct engineers on your team through complex, multi-quarter projects: break down the architecture, assign the work, and own the outcome even when the execution is distributed.
Drive clear technical communication and alignment across teams, and produce: high-quality documentation for systems, processes, and architectural decisions.
Serve as Incident Commander on high-severity supply chain or release: incidents, and use each incident as a forcing function for structural improvements.
What they're looking for
- Raise the engineering bar across the org through code review, mentorship,: design review, and by setting standards others adopt voluntarily.
- Remain hands-on at the right depth: you'll review code, prototype approaches, and debug production issues, but your primary leverage at this level is through the work of others, not your own output.
- Deep expertise in CI/CD and what it takes to harden a release pipeline against supply chain attacks.
- Strong debugging instincts across the full pipeline stack: you trace failures from test runner to artifact store to cluster deployment without needing a specialist for each layer.
