DevOps Track Architect

CI CD Strategy and Framework Key Responsibilities 1. CI/CD Strategy and Framework

• Define and implement a standardized CI/CD framework aligned to trunk-first development and immutable deployment principles
• Establish maturity model for pipelines, including progressive adoption of automation and controls (L0 to L3)
• Define and enforce branching strategy, PR standards, and pipeline governance
• Design reusable pipeline templates to ensure consistency across all applications
• Introduce and operationalize soft gates and hard gates, aligned to release confidence and risk levels 2. Engineering Standards and Controls

Embed engineering standards into CI/CD pipelines, including

o Code quality and maintainability (SonarQube) o Security scanning (Snyk, WIZ, DAST) o Dependency and vulnerability management

• Ensure all pipelines enforce required controls before merge and release
• Define release candidate criteria and gating expectations
• Drive “build once, promote” discipline across environment 3. Toolchain Integration and Automation
• Lead integration of core engineering tools into pipelines, including: o Azure DevOps (repos, pipelines, branch policies) o Git-based workflows and PR enforcement o SonarQube quality gates o Snyk for SCA/SAST o WIZ for secrets and security posture o DAST for runtime vulnerability scanning
• Automate workflows to reduce manual effort and improve reliability
• Build reusable “skills” and automation patterns to support PR validation, documentation as code, and compliance checks 4. Hands-on Pipeline Engineering
• Design and implement CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps
• Create modular, reusable YAML templates for build, test, and release pipelines
• Implement automated testing integration, including unit, integration, and security testing
• Ensure observability is built into pipelines, including logging, metrics, and failure diagnostics
• Troubleshoot pipeline issues and optimize performance
