• Platform Engineer (GitHub Actions & Enterprise Git Governance)

Short summary (1 2 lines)

• Join the Enterprise Git Platform Governance program to design implement and operate a unified CI/CD platform using GitHub Actions and self-hosted runners. Lead the migration from multiple Jenkins/Concourse systems into a single governed GitHub org and automate security testing and Jira integration.

Key responsibilities

• Design and implement GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows (ci deploy-dev/stage/prod hotfix) and maintain .github/workflows templates across domain repos.
• Deploy and operate self-hosted runner pools ensure network access scaling and secure runner configurations for Databricks PySpark Pentaho DB Cloud Foundry targets.
• Replace existing Jenkins and Concourse jobs with pipeline-as-code migrate pipelines validate builds and deployments and support decommissioning of legacy CI systems.
• Integrate security scanning (Snyk) into pre-merge and pre-deploy gates and automate vulnerability triage (ticket creation alerts).
• Implement automated Jira GitHub integrations: PR Jira transitions deployment comments auto-transition tickets on successful deploys and Fix Version-based SRN automation.
• Implement CODEOWNERS-based approval routing and branch protection rules; enforce commit message conventions and pre-merge checks.
• Build reusable Actions (composite actions) and pipeline templates; document and publish runbooks and governance templates.
• Collaborate with migration engineers test automation security and domain SMEs to validate migrated repos (pilot full migration).
