- Work closely with engineering, architecture, and platform teams to streamline software delivery processes.
- Administer, enhance, and enforce best practices around GitHub repositories, branching strategies, workflows, and deployments.
- Ensure DevOps solutions integrate seamlessly with existing on-prem infrastructure while supporting future cloud-ready architectures.
- Troubleshoot complex pipeline, build, deployment, and environment issues across multiple development teams.
- Contribute to documentation, governance, and DevOps standards across the organization.

- Hands-on experience with DevOps engineering and CI/CD platform creation
- Strong coding/scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell, etc.)
