  • Build multi-stage, parallel, and conditional workflows for build, test, security scanning, and deployment

  • Integrate automated security scanning (SAST, DAST, container scanning) into pipelines

  • Analyze and convert legacy Jenkins pipelines into GitLab CI/CD

  • Migrate Automic workflows/jobs and orchestrate dependencies within GitLab

  • Improve pipeline performance through caching, artifact reuse, and template optimization

  • Lead migration from Docker-based workflows to Podman/Buildah

  • Author GitLab CI templates for container image builds and registry management

  • Implement security policies for container images (signing, vulnerability scanning, compliance checks)

  • Use Terraform, Ansible, or similar tools to provision and manage GitLab infrastructure

  • Apply GitOps practices for environment and configuration management

  • Automate operational tasks, incident remediation, and system maintenance with pipelines and scripts

  • Partner closely with application teams to onboard them onto GitLab CI/CD

  • Maintain runbooks, documentation, templates, and internal knowledge resources

  • Deliver training sessions, workshops, and best-practice guidance to engineering teams

  • Integrate monitoring solutions (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK) to track GitLab health and pipeline performance

  • Establish policies and guardrails to maintain code quality, compliance, and strong security standards

  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex CI/CD or migration-related issues
Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
