You will work across build infrastructure, CI automation, developer tooling, and pipeline operations to improve engineering productivity and keep critical delivery systems reliable at scale.
- Design, develop, maintain, and improve build systems, CI pipelines, and developer tools that support Intersight engineering teams.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across build systems, CI pipelines, test automation, developer tooling, and related infrastructure.
- Improve CI/build reliability, scalability, performance, and operational support across high-volume development workflows.
- Partner with engineering teams to understand build, validation, and developer workflow pain points and turn them into practical pipeline and tooling improvements.
- Lead automation efforts that reduce manual work, improve build and validation consistency, and reduce technical debt across CI systems.
- Support static analysis, unit test automation, code review, artifact management, and validation workflows that are integrated into the development pipeline.
- Administer and improve CI-related tools and services such as Jenkins, GitHub, Artifactory, Keeper, ElasticSearch, Splunk, and related build infrastructure where applicable.
- Evaluate and adopt new tools, technologies, AI-assisted engineering capabilities, and process improvements that enhance developer productivity and CI system scalability.
- Create and maintain documentation, runbooks, dashboards, and training materials that help engineering teams use CI/build systems effectively.
- Provide India-time support for build systems, CI pipelines, and developer tooling, partnering closely with US-based CI team members to troubleshoot issues, improve reliability, and contribute to core build-system enhancements.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelors + 8 years of relevant experience.
- Significant software development experience in one or more major programming languages such as Python, Java, or Go.
- Extensive hands-on experience building, maintaining, and troubleshooting CI pipelines, build systems, developer tooling, or large-scale software delivery automation.
- Strong understanding of modern development practices, including Git-based workflows, code review, continuous integration, automated testing, and artifact management.
- Experience working with Linux environments, including configuration, administration, scripting, troubleshooting, and operational support.
- Experience with CI/build tools and platforms such as Jenkins, GitHub, Artifactory, or similar systems.
- Experience partnering with engineering teams to understand requirements, diagnose pain points, and deliver practical improvements to developer workflows.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical issues, tradeoffs, and priorities to engineering stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud-native application build and validation workflows.
- Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Familiarity with infrastructure as code or configuration management tools such as Terraform or Ansible.
- Experience with monitoring, observability, logging, or reporting tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ElasticSearch, Splunk, or similar platforms.
- Experience supporting CI/build systems for large-scale distributed systems or large engineering organizations.
- Experience applying AI-assisted tools or agent-based workflows to improve developer productivity, operational support, automation, or troubleshooting.
