Job Description Overview We are seeking a CI/CD & DevOps Engineer to lead the engineering and operations enablement for an enterprise-grade agent orchestration capability. This role owns the design and implementation of fully automated CI/CD pipelines, promotion gates, and infrastructure-as-code patterns that support secure, auditable, and reliable deployment of agent workflows across non-production and production environments Hanumawith tenant isolation. The role ensures release safety (blue/green, canary, rollback), drift detection, secrets management, and observability/SLO readiness, while partnering with platform engineering, security/identity, SRE, and app teams to reduce time-to-production and production risk. Responsibilities 1) CI/CD Engineering & Promotion Gates (35%) Design and implement fully automated CI/CD pipelines for agent workflows and platform components, including versioning, unit/integration tests, security scans, and promotion gates across non-prod and prod environments. (Execute/Consult) Implement standardized release gates (policy checks, approvals, quality thresholds) and ensure traceability of artifacts promoted across environments. (Execute/Consult) Provide reusable pipeline templates and reference patterns to accelerate adoption across teams while maintaining consistent governance. (Execute) 2) Infrastructure as Code, Environment Provisioning & Drift Detection (25%) Build IaC modules and provisioning automation for environments (tenant isolation patterns, runtime prerequisites, gateways, secrets bootstrapping), with code review and drift detection. (Execute/Consult) Integrate environment requests with enterprise DevX/portal APIs where applicable, enabling consistent, self-service provisioning. (Consult/Execute) Ensure secure configuration management practices across environments (parameterization, policy-as-code compatibility, environment parity). (Execute) 3) Security, Identity, Secrets & Compliance Controls (20%) Implement CI/CD and runtime integration patterns for SSO (SAML/OIDC), RBAC/ABAC enforcement hooks where required, and secrets management (vault/managed secrets) for pipelines and runtime components. (Consult/Execute) Ensure audit logs exist for pipeline executions, approvals, deployments, configuration changes, and rollback events; support evidence needs for compliance reviews. (Execute/Consult) Enforce software supply-chain controls (signed artifacts/images, SBOM where mandated, dependency scanning, provenance). (Execute/Consult) 4) Release Safety, Reliability & Operational Readiness (15%) Implement safe deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, progressive delivery) and automated rollback paths; validate through drills and runbooks. (Execute/Consult) Partner with SRE to define SLIs/SLOs for deployment success, rollout latency, and pipeline availability; ensure observability is integrated (metrics/logs/traces). (Consult/Execute) Provide incident, rollback, and migration runbooks; participate in release incident triage and stabilization. (Execute/Consult) 5) Enablement, Adoption & Continuous Improvement (5%) Mentor engineers on CI/CD best practices, release hygiene, and IaC patterns; drive continuous improvement to reduce lead time and change failure rate. (Consult/Execute) Decision-Making Autonomy: High-moderate — significant autonomy in CI/CD and IaC design choices within enterprise guardrails; escalates enterprise-wide security and governance policy decisions. Supervision Required: Moderate-low — operates with general direction from platform/SRE leadership; periodic reviews for architecture and compliance readiness. Complexity of Role: High — multi-tenant environments, strict audit/compliance, progressive delivery, and multiple integration points across tooling and identity systems. Cross-Functional Interactions: Yes — continuous interaction with platform engineering, DevX/portal, security/identity, SRE/observability, and application teams. Qualifications Key Skills/Experience Required Minimum Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s/Master’s in CS/Engineering (or equivalent experience). Proven experience building production CI/CD pipelines and operating deployment workflows for distributed systems. Required Expertise CI/CD platforms: Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions (or equivalent), branch policies, PR checks, artifact/version management IaC: Terraform/Bicep/ARM (at least one strong), drift detection, environment modularization Containers/runtimes: Docker, Kubernetes fundamentals; familiarity with service meshes and ingress/gateway patterns is a plus Security: secrets management, supply-chain security (scanning/signing/provenance), least privilege, audit logging expectations Observability: integration of metrics/logs/traces; release dashboards; incident support patterns Release engineering: blue/green, canary, progressive delivery, rollback automation, deployment verification tests Differentiating Competencies Ownership: drives CI/CD and IaC outcomes end-to-end; ensures production readiness and stability Collaboration & customer focus: treats app teams as platform customers; balances speed with controls Communication: clear release readiness reporting; crisp RCA documentation and improvement proposals Adaptability: adjusts to evolving governance, identity, and tooling constraints without breaking delivery Proactiveness & initiative: anticipates release risks and dependency conflicts; resolves early Strategic thinking (emerging): identifies reusable patterns that accelerate adoption and reduce operational toil
