  • Continuously improve pipeline reliability, performance, and observability.

• Jenkins Administration

  • Serve as a Jenkins admin for the internal Jenkins environment, including:

    • Pipeline architecture and shared libraries

    • Diagnose and resolve Jenkinsrelated failures and systemic reliability issues.

• Build Infrastructure and Linux Operations

  • Troubleshoot and resolve build server and CI issues on AlmaLinux 9 and Ubuntu 24 systems.

  • Debug build failures across multiple layers, including O/S, package dependencies, toolchains, compilers, and SDKs

Additional Responsibilities Include:

• Design, build, and maintain Docker-based build environments used in CI pipelines and local development.

• Act as a senior technical escalation point for CI/CD & buildrelated issues.

• Proactively identify and eliminate sources of build instability and inefficiency.

• Collaborate closely with software teams to optimize build times, release process and improve reliability.

• Document CI/CD processes to support maintainability and knowledge sharing.

• Contribute to longterm DevOps and buildinfrastructure strategy.

Requirements/Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent

• 5+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer, Build Engineer, or CI/CD Engineer in a Linuxbased environment (seniorlevel expectations).

• Handson experience administering Jenkins in an enterprise or multiteam environment.

• Strong experience managing software releases using GitHub, including tagging, versioning, and release artifacts.

• Solid Linux system administration background, with direct experience on AlmaLinux9, Redhat9 and Ubuntu24.

• Proven ability to troubleshoot complex build failures spanning OS, tooling, and CI layers.

• Strong experience building and maintaining Docker containers for CI/CD and developer workflows.

• Proficiency in shell scripting (Bash), Python scripting and automation.

• Strong understanding of CI/CD best practices, failure analysis, and system reliability.

• Ability to communicate clearly with developers and technical stakeholders.
