Overview: We have several openings at multiple levels (Jr-Sr). In this position you will design and develop high-performance, secure, and automated pipelines for deployment of Esri technology in the cloud and on-premises. You will partner closely with software developers and cloud engineers to accomplish this.

Responsibilities

  • Exposure to Design, implement, and maintain high-speed CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps for cloud-native workflows and Jenkins for complex, cross-platform on-premises build automation
  • Architect and optimize Docker environments to ensure consistent, isolated, and reproducible build/test runners across the entire development lifecycle
  • Work with the team to help lead the design of the next-generation Python package creation process; manage complex Conda recipes and environments to ensure seamless distribution of the ArcGIS API and its dependencies
  • Build and manage the underlying build infrastructure (runners, nodes, and registries) using automated provisioning to ensure high availability and scalability of the release system
  • Implement automated security gatekeeping, including the generation of SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials), vulnerability scanning, and license compliance for all Python and Rust artifacts
  • Work with the team to help design and implement monitoring frameworks to track build performance; assist in automated load and performance testing of the Python stack to identify regressions before release
  • Identify and eliminate manual bottlenecks by transitioning legacy workflows into modern, 'everything-as-code' processes
  • Oversee the lifecycle of third-party dependencies, ensuring that the supply chain is secure, from source code to the final distributed package

 

Requirements:

  • US citizenship with Active or Current TS/SCI clearance
  • 1+ years of relevant experience (including internships, open-source work, or academic projects) in DevOps, CI/CD, or platform automation
  • Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, or similar)
  • Experience working with YAML-based pipeline configurations and infrastructure definitions
  • Exposure to automation and scripting (Python and/or JavaScript preferred)
  • Experience with infrastructure automation tools such as:
  • Ansible, AWS CDK, Terraform, or similar IaC frameworks
  • Familiarity with Linux environments and containerized workflows
  • Ability to write and optimize Docker files and support container-based deployments
  • Understanding of artifact management, dependency management, and secure build practices
  • Familiarity with SBOM tools and artifact signing concepts
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure), especially:
    • Compute services
    • Storage services (e.g., S3, Blob Storage)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, DevOps, or related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master's in Computer Science, Mathematics, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), or Stem related field
  • Experience automating backend systems and operational workflows
  • Familiarity with release engineering and deployment strategies (blue/green, canary,
  • etc.)
  • Experience integrating security scanning into pipelines (SAST/DAST, container scanning)
  • Exposure to Kubernetes-based delivery environments
  • Exposure to DevSecOps practices and secure development pipelines
  • CompTIA Security + certification
  • Experience working in Agile or Scrum development environments
