• 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)

• Proficiency with GitHub and integrating CI/CD workflows with repo policies and pull request governance
• Demonstrated ability to define architectural direction and make key design decisions that guide delivery teams
• Deep understanding of CI/CD concepts: pipeline-as-code, artifact management, promotion strategies, approvals, rollback, and release orchestration
• Ability to design secure delivery workflows (least privilege, auditing, repeatability, controlled deployments)
• Experience producing architectural documentation and standards (diagrams, reference patterns, ADRs, governance)
• Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills across build, deploy, infrastructure, and configuration issues
• Proficiency with Terraform and/or Ansible (or similar tools) for infrastructure provisioning and configuration automation
• Experience implementing modular IaC patterns, reusable automation components, and policy-as-code approaches
• Experience with AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodeDeploy (implementation, integration, or migration)
