* Develop governed self\-service tools and pipelines that enable application teams to safely execute approved software, firmware, and configuration updates with minimal operational dependency.
* Design and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines, reusable templates, automated quality gates, and role\-based deployment approvals covering testing, code coverage, static analysis, security scanning, SBOM generation, dependency validation, and compliance evidence.
* Build release\-readiness, deployment, audit, and traceability automation to support controlled and compliant software releases.
* Develop dashboards and automated reporting for engineering effectiveness, quality, security, release readiness, and operational performance using data from GitLab, Jira, Kubernetes, AWS, New Relic, and internal systems.
* Implement DORA and engineering effectiveness metrics, including deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and recovery metrics, and generate actionable insights into engineering bottlenecks.
* Monitor and report on operational health, including MTTR, MTBF, availability, release success, deployment duration, incident trends, Kubernetes efficiency, resource utilization, capacity, and cost optimization opportunities.
* Design stakeholder\-driven deployment and release workflows that ensure appropriate approvals, governance, compliance, and traceability.
* Create executive, program, and engineering dashboards that provide visibility into program status, development velocity, quality, security posture, release readiness, and operational health.
* Partner with Quality, Security, Development, Release Engineering, and Platform Engineering teams to ensure software delivery processes meet compliance, security, quality, and traceability requirements.
**Must haves**
* **Bachelor's degree** in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
