Overview of the Role:

How We Will Work
- We will treat developers as clients.

- We will build a knowledge base of these tasks, so that we can respond promptly and efficiently
- We will support all communication styles that work for developers – chat, mail, calls.
- We won’t ask developers to raise tickets, but we will raise them ourselves to track our own productivity – and we will use the statistics that we generate, to drive automation of the key developer pain points
Responsibilities:
- Set up and configure bare metal / virtualized / cloud infrastructure for business applications
- Help development teams on-board to modern CI/CD pipelines

- Ensure Checkmarx and Black Duck findings are prioritized according to actual firm risk.
- Support developer onboarding to lightweight and effective security tooling at both pre‑commit and CI pipeline stages.
- Ensure acceptable response times and reliability for security systems and related data.
- Streamline and standardize infrastructure-related processes.
- Coordinate firewall requests and ensure they are handled predictably and consistently.
- Collaborate with Unix, Wintel, database, and other infrastructure teams to deliver requests and improve overall service quality.
- Establish, track, and enforce SLAs with infrastructure partners.
- Challenge processes that negatively impact developer productivity while maintaining security and control standards.
- Simplify server provisioning and cloud adoption processes.
- Drive continuous improvement in tooling across the development ecosystem.
- Partner with CTI, Developer Tools, and GIDA teams to improve and automate internal processes.
- Participate in the automation of manual or error‑prone tasks (e.g., WAIS ticket creation).
- Monitor uptime and performance of key services such as Bitbucket, Artifactory, JIRA, Confluence, and uDeploy, and drive remediation or improvement where needed.
- Support the delivery of performant development tools in partnership with CTI (including Confluence, ServiceNow, JIRA, Artifactory, and Bitbucket).
- Ensure safe, consistent onboarding to Citi‑approved identity management solutions and provide guidance on effective usage.
- Advocate for automation-first approaches and APIs over manual, process-heavy workflows
Qualifications -

- Strong Unix/Linux skills at a system administration level.
