Job Description
Pipeline Engineer - Senior
Our Platform Engineering team owns and operates the Kubernetes clusters running on OCI and the developer tooling that supports DMDC and its 200+ applications. We provide CI/CD pipeline infrastructure, support application deployments, and host tools for the broader DMDC user base, including GitLab, Nexus, Rancher/RKE2, SonarQube, StackRox, etc. As a Senior Pipeline Engineer, you will help lead the reliable operation and continued evolution of this platform. You'll balance operational support through occasional on-call shifts including incident response, image patching, and request and change management, with hands-on engineering to automate operations, strengthen high availability, and scale secure software delivery. You'll also provide technical guidance to teammates and collaborate across platform, infrastructure, security, and application teams.
