Remote Python Automation Jobs in West Hempstead, NY

About the Role

As a Senior Build and Release Automation Engineer at NinjaOne, you will serve as a technical leader focused on build and release automation strategy, CI/CD platform engineering, and software supply-chain excellence. You will own the design, scalability, reliability, and security of our build and release ecosystem across our entire portfolio of Unified IT Operations SaaS products.

This role goes beyond maintaining pipelines—you will architect and standardize how software is built, versioned, tested, signed, and released across hundreds of repositories and services. You will drive automation that reduces lead time, eliminates manual release risk, improves traceability, and enables predictable, auditable, and secure software delivery.

You will partner closely with Development, QA, Security, Architecture, and Corporate IT to define and implement golden CI/CD patterns, enforce build governance standards, embed security controls, and optimize delivery performance. As NinjaOne continues to scale globally, you will help enable rapid expansion into new regions through resilient, repeatable, and compliant build and release automation systems.

This is a highly visible, high-impact role responsible for evolving NinjaOne’s build platform into a self-service, secure, and performance-optimized delivery engine.

Location - We are flexible on remote working from home, if you are located in the USA and reside in one of the following states - CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, *IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NC, NY, OR, TN, TX, VA, and WA. We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option.

We hire the best software engineers, but experience in our stack can’t hurt: NinjaOne is built on Java, Kotlin, C++, Golang and Postgres; supporting millions of user endpoints and running as a scalable cloud service in AWS.  Knowing large-scale datastore bottlenecks, asynchronous application design and client-server architecture will help you.

What You’ll be Doing

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines, versioning automation, and artifact signing across services and repositories.
• Define and roll out standardized build patterns, reusable pipeline templates, and “golden” configurations (CircleCI and related tooling).
• Manage and optimize build infrastructure (executors, runners, caching, containerized environments) to reduce lead time, flakiness, and cost.
• Partner with engineering and architecture teams to diagnose and resolve systemic build failures and dependency issues. 
• Embed security and supply-chain controls into pipelines, including vulnerability scanning, secrets management, policy enforcement, and SBOM generation.
• Implementation of branching, versioning, and release strategies (e.g.,/feature branches, trunk-based development, release branches, hotfix flows) to improve predictability and rollback safety.
• Administer artifact management platforms (e.g., JFrog Artifactory), including repository layout, retention, immutability, and provenance metadata.
• Collaborate with security, compliance, and audit teams to meet regulatory and customer requirements for traceability and change governance.
• Create and maintain clear documentation, runbooks, and onboarding materials for CI/CD standards and tooling.
• Mentor engineers and help teams adopt standardized build and release workflows
• Other duties as needed. 

About You

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, build/release engineering, or platform engineering with deep CI/CD automation expertise.
• Proven experience designing, scaling, and operating complex CI/CD systems using tools such as CircleCI, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.
• Strong expertise in Git-based workflows, branching strategies, pull request governance, and protected branch policies.
• Hands-on experience administering artifact repositories (e.g., JFrog Artifactory) including repository design and metadata management.
• Deep understanding of build systems and dependency management (Maven, Gradle, npm, etc.).
• Experience designing secure software supply-chain processes including signing, SBOM generation, and vulnerability scanning.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code experience (CDK, Terraform, Ansible, Chef, etc.) applied to CI/CD infrastructure.
• Experience with containerized build environments (Docker) and cloud platforms (AWS or equivalent).
• Proficiency in scripting or programming (Python, Bash, Go, etc.) to build automation tooling.
• Experience implementing release governance, audit traceability, and change management processes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing and rolling out standardized “golden pipeline” templates across large engineering organizations.
• Background in DevSecOps or software supply-chain security (attestations, signing frameworks, policy-as-code such as OPA/Conftest).
• Experience improving DORA metrics and delivery performance at scale.
• Prior experience leading CI/CD modernization, platform migrations, or tooling consolidation initiatives.
• Experience operating in high-growth SaaS or multi-region cloud environments.
• Familiarity with progressive delivery patterns such as blue/green or canary releases.
