Overview

We are looking for a mid-level GitHub Actions Engineer to design, build, and operate CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, embedding DevSecOps practices — build, test, security scanning, and deployment — into every workflow. The role requires hands-on pipeline engineering skill combined with a security-first mindset.

Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain reusable GitHub Actions workflows, composite actions, and shared workflow templates.
- Build end-to-end CI/CD pipelines covering build, unit testing, SAST/DAST, SCA, container scanning, and deployment stages.
- Set up and manage self-hosted runners, runner groups, and auto-scaling strategies for on-prem and cloud workloads.
- Integrate GitHub Actions with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) for automated infrastructure provisioning and application deployment.
- Implement secure secrets management using GitHub Environments/Secrets and OIDC-based federated authentication to cloud providers.
- Optimize pipeline performance through matrix builds, dependency/build caching, and artifact management.




- Embed security gates into workflows using CodeQL, Dependabot, Secret Scanning, and tools such as Trivy/Snyk/SonarQube.
- Troubleshoot pipeline failures, reduce build/deployment times, and drive continuous improvement of CI/CD practices.
- Partner with development teams to define branching, release, and environment promotion strategies.
- Build dashboards/reports to track CI/CD health metrics — deployment frequency, lead time, and change failure rate.

-

Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
- 4–6 years of overall experience in CI/CD, build & release engineering, or DevOps roles.

Essential skills
- Solid hands-on experience authoring GitHub Actions workflows (YAML) and custom/composite actions.
- Experience with containerization (Docker) and deploying to Kubernetes/OpenShift environments.
- Working knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code tools such
