Dev Ops/Process Change - Software Architect - Digital Product Engineering

* Embed with individual CDS delivery teams to assess current DevOps practice - CI/CD, branching, release cadence, testing gates, review process.

• Identify process debt that limits the value of AI coding/delivery tools (e.g. slow feedback loops, manual approval bottlenecks, inconsistent environment management).
• Work with teams to remediate process debt in a practical, incremental way - not a big-bang process overhaul.
• Advise teams on how to structure process so AI-assisted development.

Eligibility - 5 years unbroken residency / Minimum 5 years of continuous UK residency, Strong DevOps/SDLC background - CI/CD pipeline design, branching strategy, release management, environment management.

• Experience assessing and improving existing engineering processes within a delivery team (not just building new pipelines from scratch).
• Stakeholder engagement - able to work embedded with delivery teams to understand current-state process, build trust, and land change.
• Understanding of what AI-ready DevOps looks like (e.g. how process friction - slow CI, manual gates, poor branch hygiene - blocks AI coding assistants and agentic workflows from adding value).
• Familiar with common CDS delivery toolchain (GitLab, JIRA, Confluence) or equivalent enterprise DevOps tooling.
• The DevOps/Process Change role works directly with CDS delivery teams to understand their existing DevOps processes, identify process debt, and address it so those teams can get genuine value from AI-assisted delivery - not applying AI on top of broken process and expecting it to compensate.
