• Work with engineering teams to break down monolithic repositories into manageable, modular components suitable for Github and modern version control practices.
• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD GitHub Actions workflows for building, testing, and deploying C/C++ applications (primarily) and Java, Python, Node.js etc.
• Oversee and manage Conan integration within the CI/CD pipeline for C/C++ dependency resolution and package management.
• Work with infrastructure teams to design and implement the necessary container-based infrastructure.
• Collaborate with developers, QA engineers, and security teams to ensure the build and deployment pipeline is fully integrated with testing, monitoring, and security processes.
• Continuously monitor CI/CD pipelines, ensuring they are stable, efficient, and fast. Track pipeline performance metrics and identify areas for optimization.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Improve developer efficiency, modernizing the build and deployment infrastructure, enhancing scalability and efficiency.
• Streamline the software delivery process, reducing build times, optimizing infrastructure and improving reliability.
• Implement modern dependency management practices, ensuring secure and efficient package management.
• Enhance collaboration across teams, ensuring seamless integration of development, testing, and deployment workflows.
• Drive continuous improvement in DevOps processes, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.

What You’ll Need:

• 10+ years of experience in DevOps or Build Engineering, with at least 3+ years working in C/C++ development environments.
• Strong expertise in Python, RESTful APIs, and other relevant technologies for building scalable platforms.
• Experience migrating from Perforce to GitHub or similar version control systems.
• Hands-on experience with Conan as a C/C++ package manager, dependency resolution and integration into build systems.
• Extensive experience with GitHub Actions, including creating complex CI/CD workflows for C/C++ applications.

Who You Are:

• Strong knowledge of CMake, Make, or other build systems for C/C++ projects.
• Proficiency in scripting languages like Bash, Python, or similar to automate tasks and workflows.
• Familiarity with Docker and container-based deployment workflows.
• Experience working in On-prem data centers and understanding of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and infrastructure automation tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
• Strong knowledge of Git and version control best practices.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, capable of working with cross-functional teams including developers, QA engineers, and system administrators.
• Ability to mentor and guide junior engineers in best practices for build automation, version control, and DevOps processes.
