• Architecture & Technical Leadership Define the end-to-end DevSecOps and cloud architecture approach for CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and deployment patterns. • Make and document architectural decisions (standards, patterns, tool selection, tradeoffs) aligned to program requirements. • Establish architectural guardrails and acceptance criteria to ensure implementations meet security and operational expectations. • Produce and maintain architecture artifacts (logical/physical diagrams, reference architectures, standards, decision records). • CI/CD Platform Engineering (Jenkins + Multi-Environment Delivery) Architect, configure, and maintain Jenkins servers supporting multiple CI/CD pipelines across Dev/Test/Stage/Prod environments. • Design scalable pipeline patterns (shared libraries, templates, standard stages, approvals, and promotion strategies). • Implement strategies for high availability, performance, access control, and plugin governance for Jenkins. • Drive pipeline reliability through standardized build/deploy processes, error handling, and repeatable automation. • GitHub & GitOps Enablement Integrate pipelines with GitHub (branching strategies, PR workflows, hooks/webhooks, checks, release tagging). Establish and support GitOps workflows (declarative configuration, environment promotion, and drift management). • Promote consistent repository and workflow standards across engineering teams. • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation Design and implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Ansible, or comparable tools to enable repeatable and secure provisioning. • Build automation for environment creation, configuration management, and compliance alignment. • Ensure IaC follows best practices: modularity, versioning, secure secrets handling, and policy enforcement. • Cloud Engineering & Deployment Strategy (AWS) Architect and oversee AWS environment usage, ensuring alignment to cloud best practices and program constraints. • Define secure deployment patterns and connectivity requirements across AWS accounts/environments. • Collaborate with security and operations to ensure logging/monitoring, identity/access, and encryption requirements are satisfied. • Integration with AWS Native CI/CD (Plus) Where applicable, incorporate AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodeDeploy into delivery workflows or migration plans. • Evaluate and recommend when Jenkins vs. AWS native CI/CD services is the best fit, and define integration approaches. • Stakeholder Collaboration & Delivery Assurance Partner with application teams, cloud engineers, security, and SRE/operations to ensure delivery solutions meet functional and non-functional requirements. • Provide technical oversight and mentorship to DevSecOps engineers and platform teams. • Participate in planning, backlog refinement, and technical reviews to ensure architectural alignment.
