About the role

As a Software DevOps Architect you will design build and maintain the custom integrations automation services and platform components that make the SDLC toolchain work as a cohesive scalable secure system.

This role acts as a developer platform product engineer building the internal services middleware automation pipelines and selfservice capabilities that eliminate manual effort reduce human error and dramatically improve engineering productivity.

You will translate operational pain points into technical solutions architect Pythonbased services integrate SDLC tools and create automation that empowers engineering teams across software embedded hardware and power systems engineering.

Accountable for:

Discovery & Solution Shaping

Understand manual workflows and capability gaps

• Analyse recurring service desk requests and operational pain points
• Identify manual tasks performed by tools engineers (provisioning access reporting migrations)
• Determine limitations of offtheshelf plugins (security cost missing features integration constraints)

Translate needs into buildable problem statements

• Define user journeys (who what when why)
• Capture key constraints (security compliance network boundaries performance support expectations)
• Produce lightweight functional and nonfunctional requirements

Design & Architecture of Bespoke Tooling Solutions

Select appropriate solution patterns

Patterns commonly used:

• APIdriven automation services
• Middleware between SDLC systems (webhooks events queues)
• Internal web apps/portals for selfservice
• CLI tools for tooling engineers
• Scheduled jobs for housekeeping and governance

Produce maintainable robust architecture

• Define service boundaries and API contracts
• Design for idempotency retry logic observability and strong security practices
• Decide on data storage (or intentionally avoid persistence)
• Consider threat modelling and dependency risks

Build Custom Integrations Across the SDLC Toolchain

Integrate core SDLC systems via APIs and events

• Implement webhook/event processors (e.g. Bitbucket CI Jira)
• Build crosstool automation including:
  • Jira project Confluence space Bitbucket repo provisioning
  • Autoconfiguring SonarQube projects and quality gates
  • Autoapplying BlackDuck policies
  • Creating Artifactory repositories and permission structures
• Maintain consistent metadata naming conventions and tagging

Maintain integration resilience

• Handle API changes rate limits and pagination
• Implement robust error handling and auditing
• Provide safe rollback or compensating actions

Automate Manual Operational Tasks (Remove Toil)

Identify and eliminate toil

• Review runbooks and support tickets for repetitive work
• Identify humanerrorprone workflows and opportunities for policyascode
• Convert manual steps into scripts jobs services selfservice portals

Build selfservice capabilities

• Provide UI/CLI automation for:
  • New project onboarding
  • Repository creation with templates and policy controls
  • Standardised pipeline creation
  • Permission/approval workflows
• Reduce dependency on administrators for routine operations

Build System Enablement & Advisory for CI/CD Engineers

Develop reusable pipeline components

• Maintain shared pipeline libraries and templates
• Provide golden path examples for major stacks
• Build reusable tasks for scanning testing packaging and publishing

Improve pipeline reliability and performance

• Implement caching parallelism and artefact reuse
• Build diagnostic tooling for pipeline failures
• Reduce flakiness through deterministic environment setup

Support CI/CD engineers

• Provide tooling such as bootstrap scripts and validation checkers
• Assist with complex pipeline designs across multirepo/monorepo patterns
• Build automated checks for missing configurations or secrets

About you

Qualification & Skills

• Strong Python development experience in automation APIs and backend services
• Deep understanding of SDLC tooling (e.g. Jira Bitbucket/GitHub/GitLab SonarQube Artifactory BlackDuck)
• Experience designing and implementing automation services and integrations
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD principles and pipeline architecture
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Understanding of secure development practices authentication patterns and secrets management
• Ability to design maintainable architectures with clear boundaries and observability
• Experience operating the services you build (monitoring logging incident response)

Behaviours

• Analytical curious and deeply pragmatic
• Enjoys problemsolving and simplifying complexity
• Comfortable working handson with engineering teams
• Strong communicatorable to explain technical decisions clearly
• Collaborative and supportive across global teams
• Keen to automate improve and reduce toil wherever possible

Desirable

• Experience with eventdriven architecture or queue systems
• Familiarity with compliancedriven software development (safetycritical regulated industries)
• Experience designing internal portals or developerfacing services
• Knowledge of networking fundamentals (DNS proxies certificates)
