Required Skills: * Bitbucket * GIT * Python Ref: #404-IT Pittsburgh ## Description Seeking a Software Engineer with 3-5 years of hands-on experience building, deploying, and operating applications and platform capabilities on Kubernetes/OpenShift. The ideal candidate is proficient in Python, experienced with CI/CD pipeline development, bitbucket and can implement and maintain Policy as Code to enforce governance, security, and compliance across container platforms. You will collaborate with engineering, platform, SRE, and security partners to automate delivery workflows, strengthen reliability and controls, and enable teams to ship software safely and efficiently. Your future duties and responsibilities o Design, develop, and maintain Python-based services, automation tools, and platform utilities supporting containerized workloads. o Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, security scanning, deployment, and release orchestration. o Deploy, operate, and troubleshoot applications on Kubernetes/OpenShift, including configuration, scaling, upgrades, and runtime issues. o Implement Policy as Code to enforce standards (security, networking, resource controls, image provenance, RBAC, etc.) and prevent configuration drift. o Integrate DevSecOps controls: SAST/DAST, container image scanning, SBOM generation/validation, secrets detection, and compliance checks into pipelines. o Create and maintain infrastructure/platform artifacts such as: o Kubernetes manifests (Deployments, Services, Ingress/Routes, ConfigMaps, Secrets) o Helm charts and/or Kustomize overlays o OpenShift resources (Projects/Namespaces, Routes, SCCs, Operators as applicable) o Improve platform reliability through monitoring/alerting integration and root cause analysis (RCA) for production issues. o Contribute to engineering standards and documentation (runbooks, SOPs, onboarding guides). o Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and agile ceremonies; communicate risks, tradeoffs, and implementation details clearly. ## Related Videos - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Securing Your Web Application Pipeline From Intruders](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/53-securing-your-web-application-pipeline-from-intruders) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development)
