Job description

  • Exposure to Design, implement, and maintain high-speed CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps for cloud-native workflows and Jenkins for complex, cross-platform on-premises build automation
  • Architect and optimize Docker environments to ensure consistent, isolated, and reproducible build/test runners across the entire development lifecycle
  • Work with the team to help lead the design of the next-generation Python package creation process; manage complex Conda recipes and environments to ensure seamless distribution of the ArcGIS API and its dependencies
  • Build and manage the underlying build infrastructure (runners, nodes, and registries) using automated provisioning to ensure high availability and scalability of the release system
  • Implement automated security gatekeeping, including the generation of SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials), vulnerability scanning, and license compliance for all Python and Rust artifacts
  • Work with the team to help design and implement monitoring frameworks to track build performance; assist in automated load and performance testing of the Python stack to identify regressions before release
  • Identify and eliminate manual bottlenecks by transitioning legacy workflows into modern, 'everything-as-code' processes
  • Oversee the lifecycle of third-party dependencies, ensuring that the supply chain is secure, from source code to the final distributed package
