Summary:
We are seeking an experienced DevSecOps platform engineer to join the DevSecOps platform team that owns the enterprise DevSecOps toolchain supporting the full software development lifecycle for 300+ developers.
This is a dual-mandate role: the consultant must become productive on our existing self-hosted toolchain on AWS EKS quickly enough to carry real operational load, while contributing to our consolidation and migration to a SaaS-based toolchain.

Target : GitHub Enterprise Cloud (EMU) with Azure AD federation and SCIM · GitHub Actions replacing CloudBees CI · Actions Runner Controller (ARC) self-hosted runners on EKS · repository migration at scale via GitHub Enterprise Importer · consolidated code security scanning · Atlassian Cloud
Responsibilities:
Operate the current platform :-
- Administer CloudBees CI on EKS and GitHub Enterprise Server — lifecycle, upgrades, access governance, patching, and build troubleshooting
- Operate Artifactory, Xray, and SonarQube; support integrations

- Manage Kubernetes workloads on EKS — Helm releases, storage, scaling, troubleshooting
- Resolve production incidents across compute, storage, networking, identity, and certificate layers; support 300+ developers
- Drive vulnerability remediation and patch cadence; produce runbooks and documentation
Drive consolidation and migration :-
- Build and operate ARC self-hosted runners on EKS, including hardening and private VPC connectivity
- Convert Jenkins shared-library pipelines to GitHub Actions reusable workflows
- Plan and execute phased repository migration waves, with validation and rollback
- Configure enterprise identity, SSO/SCIM, and access governance in the target platform
- Support developer onboarding and enablement; contribute to decommissioning plans
Required Qualifications:
-Bachelor's degree is required
-7+ years in DevOps / DevSecOps / platform engineering
- Hands-on administration of an enterprise CI platform (Jenkins/CloudBees preferred) and pipeline development using shared/reusable libraries
- Practical GitHub Actions experience — workflows, reusable workflows, runners, secrets
- Strong hands-on AWS (EKS, EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, Route 53, KMS, EFS) and production Kubernetes
- Terraform at production scale — modules, state management, multi-environment, pipeline-driven plan/apply; plus Helm and Docker
- Pipeline security tooling: SAST, SCA, SBOM, container scanning, quality gates
- Core systems fundamentals (non-negotiable) :-
- Linux administration and troubleshooting
- Networking — TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls, load balancing, proxies, VPN/Transit Gateway, packet-level diagnostics
- Certificates and TLS — PKI, issuance, and renewal, truststores, mTLS

- Scripting in Python, Bash, and Groovy
- Ability to work independently with broad ownership; strong documentation discipline; participation in on-call rotation
Preferred Qualifications:
- Prior GHES → GitHub Enterprise Cloud / EMU migration or Jenkins → GitHub Actions conversion at enterprise scale
- GitHub Enterprise Importer (GEI) and Actions Runner Controller (ARC) production experience
- Artifactory/Xray, SonarQube, or Atlassian Cloud migration experience
- AWS certification (DevOps Engineer – Professional or Solutions Architect)
- Experience in a regulated enterprise environment with formal change management
