The Position
We are seeking a DevOps Engineer with strong expertise in test automation pipelines and infrastructure to design, implement, and maintain robust CI/CD systems supporting automated testing and software delivery. This role focuses on ensuring the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of build, test, and deployment workflows across complex development environments.
You will play a key role in integrating and maintaining automated test frameworks within CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous validation through integration, regression, and workflow testing. The position requires hands-on involvement in managing test environments, troubleshooting pipeline and infrastructure issues, and ensuring smooth artifact lifecycle management.
You will work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment, partnering closely with Development, Test Automation, QA, and infrastructure teams to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions. The role also involves working with shared infrastructure and toolchain teams to align on standards and support common platforms.
This position requires a strong problem-solving mindset, the ability to operate in complex and distributed systems, and a focus on continuous improvement of DevOps and test automation practices within Agile and scaled Agile (ART) environments.
Key responsibilities include, but are not exclusively:
- Design, develop, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab to support reliable build, test, and deployment workflows
- Support and optimize C#/.NET build and deployment processes, including dependency and package management using NuGet and related tools
- Integrate and maintain automated test frameworks (e.g., Playwright, PyTest, Selenium, BDD frameworks) within CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing
- Manage and optimize automation pipelines for integration, regression, and workflow testing to ensure high software quality and fast feedback cycles
- Maintain and manage artifact lifecycle processes, including artifact storage, ISO builds, and installer publishing using tools such as Artifactory
- Develop and maintain automation scripts (Python, PowerShell) to improve pipeline efficiency, scalability, and reliability
- Provision, configure, and maintain automated build, deployment, and test environments, including software application clusters
- Manage and support VMware infrastructure (vSphere) to ensure stable and scalable environments for CI/CD and testing activities
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues across Windows and Linux build and test environments
- Integrate and maintain static code analysis tools (e.g., SonarQube, TICS, CodeQL) within CI/CD pipelines to ensure code quality
- Monitor, analyze, and resolve pipeline failures, automation instability, environment inconsistencies, and build promotion issues
- Collaborate closely with Development, QA, and Test Automation teams to translate functional and non-functional requirements into scalable CI/CD and testing solutions
- Work with shared infrastructure teams (e.g., SETI, Toolchain teams) to align on infrastructure standards, environments, and tooling
- Collaborate with cross-ART teams (e.g., CI/CD and Test Automation teams) to contribute to shared frameworks, tools, and codebases
- Ensure end-to-end pipeline reliability, from environment provisioning and build execution to testing and artifact archival
- Participate in Agile processes using Jira, contributing to sprint planning, backlog refinement, and continuous improvement initiatives
- Work within Scrum, Kanban, and scaled Agile (ART) environments to support continuous delivery practices
- Document CI/CD pipelines, test environments, and best practices using Confluence to ensure knowledge sharing and traceability
- Apply strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify bottlenecks and improve pipeline performance and system reliability
- Continuously improve DevOps processes, tooling, and test automation integration to enhance delivery quality, stability, and speed
Requirements:
The ideal candidate for this position thrives in a complex technical environment and is passionate about automation, continuous integration, and delivering high-quality software solutions.
- University degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline
- Strong hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab
- 8+ years of Proven experience supporting C#/.NET build and deployment workflows
- Experience with package management tools such as NuGet and similar ecosystems
- Hands-on experience integrating automated test frameworks (e.g., Playwright, PyTest, Selenium, BDD frameworks) into CI/CD pipelines
- Strong experience managing automation pipelines for integration, regression, and workflow testing
- Strong scripting and automation skills using Python and/or PowerShell
- Hands-on experience managing and supporting VMware infrastructure (vSphere)
- Experience troubleshooting issues across Windows and Linux build and test environments
- Hands-on experience integrating static code analysis tools (e.g., SonarQube, TICS) into CI/CD pipelines
- Experience provisioning and maintaining automated build, deployment, and test environments, including application clusters
- Strong troubleshooting skills for pipeline failures, automation instability, environment inconsistencies, and build promotion issues
- Experience working in Agile environments using Jira, including Scrum and Kanban methodologies
- Familiarity with Agile Release Trains (ART) and scaled Agile frameworks
- Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with Development, QA, and Test Automation teams
- Experience collaborating with shared infrastructure and toolchain teams (e.g., SETI) to align on infrastructure standards
- Experience working with cross-ART teams (e.g., CI/CD and Test Automation teams) to contribute to shared tools and codebases
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and resolve complex technical issues
