  • Implement and optimize build, unit testing, integration testing, code quality analysis, artifact publishing, and deployment workflows.
  • Develop reusable pipeline templates, shared libraries, deployment scripts, and automation components to standardize delivery processes.
  • Troubleshoot pipeline failures, build errors, deployment issues, and configuration inconsistencies.

DevSecOps and Security Integration

  • Integrate automated security testing, static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), container image scanning, and vulnerability assessments into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Enforce security gates, code quality thresholds, and approval requirements before software is promoted between environments.
  • Support remediation of security vulnerabilities, software dependencies, and container image findings.
  • Maintain pipeline configurations and deployment processes consistent with organizational security policies and applicable NIST SP 800-53, RMF, and federal cybersecurity requirements.
  • Support audit readiness through pipeline logs, deployment records, traceability, and documented release approvals.

Cloud, Containers, and Infrastructure Automation

  • Support containerized application deployments using Docker and Kubernetes, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).
  • Integrate pipelines with cloud services, infrastructure automation, container registries, and environment configuration management.
  • Implement automated deployment strategies, including rolling deployments, blue-green deployments, and rollback procedures, as appropriate.
  • Collaborate with cloud and infrastructure teams to resolve environment, networking, access, and deployment issues.

Configuration Management and Release Support

  • Manage source control workflows, branching strategies, versioning, artifact repositories, and release tagging.
  • Implement environment promotion controls across development, test, staging, and production.
  • Maintain pipeline documentation, operational procedures, troubleshooting guides, and technical standards.
  • Monitor pipeline performance and identify opportunities to reduce deployment time, improve reliability, and increase automation.

Collaboration and Continuous Improvement

  • Work with cybersecurity, quality assurance, architecture, and operations teams to resolve delivery and compliance issues.
  • Provide technical guidance to developers on pipeline usage, deployment standards, and DevSecOps best practices.
  • Identify opportunities to improve software delivery performance, pipeline reuse, operational consistency, and release quality.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
