DevOps Build_Pipeline Engineer (Python/Jenkins/Tekton)

We have an excellent job opportunity for you.

Role Title: DevOps Build_Pipeline Engineer (Python/Jenkins/Tekton) Location: Hybrid 60% office-40% home - Sheffield/Birmingham/Edinburgh Duration: 30/11/2026 Rate to SSC (including supplier charge): £571 per day Role Description: Own and evolve our Jenkins Shared Library powering multi-language builds (Java/Maven, Node/NPM, Python, Helm, Terraform, containers). Deliver fast, secure, provenance-rich pipelines (SLSA, SBOM, digests) and strengthen supplychain integrity across teams.

Core Responsibilities: Design and maintain Groovy pipeline steps (build, test, package, scan, deploy). Extend Python tooling for SLSA provenance, SBOM generation, hash/digest accuracy, and security scan aggregation (SonarQube, Sonatype IQ, SAST/Container). Optimize performance (parallel builds, caching, scope-reduced BOMs, dependency prefetch). Ensure artifact integrity (correct SHA1/SHA256 mapping, reproducible inputs, evidence modeling). Refactor Legacy scripts (remove global state, consolidate hashing, standardize templates). Document ci-config.yaml standards and usage patterns. Mentor engineers on secure pipeline development and supply-chain practices. Troubleshoot and prevent pipeline incidents.

Essential Skills: - 7+ years engineering; 3+ in CI/CD platform or DevSecOps. Strong Jenkins + Groovy shared library expertise. Advanced Python automation (JSON/YAML processing, tooling scripts). Deep Maven/NPM/Python packaging knowledge; exposure to Helm/Terraform and container image metadata. Supply-chain security (SLSA, CycloneDX SBOM, digests). Experience with SonarQube, Sonatype IQ, container and SAST scanning. Proven performance tuning (caching, parallelization, dependency pruning). Compliance Awareness.

Nice-to-Have Artifact signing/attestations (cosign, OCI). Terraform module and Helm chart publishing patterns. GitOps or release automation experience. GCP/AWS cloud experience
