• Modify existing software and scripts to correct errors, adapt to new infrastructure requirements, and improve performance.
• Analyze user needs and technical requirements to determine the feasibility of design and implementation within time and cost constraints.
• Collaborate with developers, engineers, security teams, and other stakeholders to design systems and define interfaces, capabilities, and performance requirements.
• Build and test end-to-end CI/CD pipelines to ensure the systems are safe against security threads.
• Ability to provide accurate and realistic work effort estimates, commit and deliver results accordingly.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, operational procedures, and knowledge transfer materials.
Skills Required
• 3+ years of experience implementing, administering, and troubleshooting Linux in an enterprise environment including Linux patching with DNF and YUM.
• Strong experience building and supporting CI/CD pipelines using tools. Must have strong working knowledge of Jenkins (groovy), Ansible Core ( yaml ), GitLab CI/CD, FlexDeploy , or similar technologies.
