Lead Pipeline Engineer

• Own the end-to-end delivery pipeline for all software releases across engineering teams, from code commit to production deployment.
• Design, build, and maintain GitHub Actions-based CI/CD workflows that enforce quality gates, automated testing, and release policies.
• Create and operate performance monitoring for services delivered to production, enabling early detection of regressions and anomalies.
• Drive automation of pipeline operations using AI tools, including Claude, to manage releases, detect issues, and reduce manual oversight.
• Establish and enforce pipeline standards, providing guidance and guardrails to engineering teams.
• Automate the generation and distribution of release information, changelogs, and project status updates.
• Collaborate with the Process Management to ensure pipeline metrics feed into SDLC reporting and stakeholder dashboards.
• Evaluate and integrate software quality and vulnerability testing tools into the pipeline.
• Secure the CI/CD pipeline against manipulation, configure GitHub repository protections including branch policies, secret management, and user permissions. Integrate cybersecurity and vulnerability testing of software products as a standard pipeline stage.

• 8+ years of experience in software development lifecycle management, release engineering, or DevOps.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with self-hosted Kubernetes.
• Deep expertise with GitHub and GitHub Actions, including complex workflow design, custom actions, and repository management at scale.
• Strong practical experience with AI tools — specifically Claude (Anthropic), but also Gemini, and other AI platforms. Demonstrated ability to apply AI to pipeline automation, release management, and operational workflows.
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Sentry, Grafana, and related platforms.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, or similar).
• Familiarity with AWS, GCP, or other cloud platforms is a plus.
• Experience with cybersecurity testing tools and practices for software products, including static analysis, dependency scanning, and vulnerability assessment. Familiarity with securing CI/CD pipelines, GitHub repository configuration (protected branches, secret management, user permissions), and supply chain security.
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI-driven operations. This role has an unlimited budget for Claude token usage, and we expect the right candidate to push the boundaries of what AI can do for pipeline management.
• Strong communication skills — the ability to translate pipeline health and release status into clear information for engineering leadership and stakeholders.
• Experience working across multiple engineering teams, providing tooling and standards without blocking velocity.
• Self-directed and comfortable operating with high autonomy. Additional human contributors will be hired as needed to scale the team.
• BA/BS degree in Computer Science, related field, or equivalent practical experience.
