📋 Description

• Streamline and uphold the CI/CD pipelines for a multi-project monorepo, ensuring they remain predictable, efficient, and usable by the wider engineering team without requiring specialized expertise.

• Strategically plan and implement infrastructure modifications incrementally, with well-defined rollout procedures, validation methods, and rollback strategies communicated to the team prior to commencement.

• Develop and sustain operational documentation, runbooks, monitoring systems, and alert mechanisms that empower other engineers to troubleshoot and address production issues independently.

• Collaborate with DevOps colleagues throughout the organization to ensure alignment on common infrastructure standards such as network architecture, permissions frameworks, and deployment methodologies.

• Proficient in Python and willing to engage across the stack when platform issues spill into application code.

• Has successfully built and maintained CI/CD pipelines that are trusted by other engineers, and has carried out infrastructure changes incrementally rather than through high-risk large-scale rollouts.

• Experience in a small team setting, where balancing speed, simplicity, and quality is essential, rather than relying on enterprise-scale tools.

• Regularly employs AI tools in daily tasks to speed up delivery while upholding high standards for security and code quality.
