Benefits & conditions

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 supply chain 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 modelling).

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.
