Python Software Engineer Ubuntu Server Certification Jobs in Sumter, SC

Role summary

We are looking for a hands-on Principal DevOps Engineer to lead the design and implementation of our next-generation CI/CD architecture for platform-based product development. This role is focused on software build and release automation, scalable delivery pipelines, infrastructure as code, packaging, deployment, observability and integration of development workflows with IT, CloudOps and security toolchains. Security automation is an important part of the role, but the primary focus is efficient, scalable and reliable software delivery across Windows, Linux, cloud and instrument-hosted environments.

You will

• Lead the design and implementation of modern CI/CD architecture for platform-based software development across R&D.
• Define, implement and continuously improve scalable build, release, packaging and deployment automation for Windows, Linux and AWS-based software systems.
• Work closely with software engineers to create efficient and maintainable build systems for C/C++, C# and Python projects.
• Design and implement infrastructure as code and environment automation using Terraform and AWS services.
• Drive standardization and automation of configuration management, package management, artifact management and software delivery processes.
• Collaborate effectively with IT, CloudOps, and security teams to integrate development workflows into the corporate infrastructure and security toolchain.
• Modernize and optimize legacy Jenkins-based CI/CD while helping establish the target AWS-based delivery architecture.
• Implement and improve monitoring, metrics, alerting, and automated engineering reporting for build, test, release and deployment processes.
• Design and maintain software packaging and installation solutions, including Windows installers, Linux packages, and deployable system images.
• Support third-party software lifecycle management, including software license tracking, dependency upgrades, version planning and integration into controlled build environments.
• Enable secure and efficient automation of SAST, SCA, DAST, artifact scanning and related controls as part of CI/CD.
• Contribute to long-term DevOps operating model, release engineering practices and delivery governance across platform and product teams.

Qualification requirements

• MS in STEM or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of experience in DevOps, build and release engineering, CI/CD, infrastructure automation or software delivery engineering roles.
• Proven experience designing and implementing CI/CD architectures for complex multi-language software environments.
• Strong hands-on expertise with Jenkins.
• Strong hands-on expertise with AWS services relevant to CI/CD and software delivery, especially S3, CodeArtifact and related automation and deployment services.
• Deep understanding of CI and CD concepts, build orchestration, release engineering, artifact lifecycle, traceability and deployment strategies.
• Expert-level experience with Infrastructure as Code, especially Terraform.
• Strong experience with Git and GitHub-based workflows.
• Strong experience with build systems and packaging for C/C++, C# and Python projects, including tools such as MSBuild, CMake, make, pip/poetry and related packaging mechanisms.
• Proven experience with Windows installers, Linux packaging and software deployment automation.
• Strong scripting and automation skills in Python, PowerShell and/or Bash.
• Solid understanding of configuration management, package management, dependency management and software supply chain concepts.
• Experience integrating engineering workflows into enterprise security toolchains, including SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets scanning and artifact or dependency scanning.
• Experience with monitoring, observability and engineering reporting tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, SonarQube, or similar platforms.
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work effectively across R&D, IT, CloudOps, QA and security teams.

Strong plus

• Experience with hybrid environments spanning developer workstations, instruments, on-premise systems and AWS cloud.
• Experience with software license management and third-party component governance.
• Experience with artifact repositories, binary/package lifecycle management and controlled upgrade processes.
• Experience with deployment image creation, including ISO-based or image-based delivery concepts.
• Experience contributing to MLOps or DataOps workflows.
