About This Role

The DevOps Platform Architect will lead the design, delivery, and ongoing evolution of the organization's DevOps platform capabilities. This is a hands-on technical leadership role responsible for building the foundational CI/CD infrastructure that engineering teams across the organization depend on to deliver software reliably and at scale.

The primary focus of this role is GitHub Enterprise platform ownership and the development of a centralized, reusable CI/CD pipeline framework that serves multiple internal customer teams. The successful candidate will establish standards, tooling, and best practices that enable teams to adopt consistent software delivery patterns without building pipelines from scratch, reducing duplication, improving security posture, and accelerating time to delivery.

This individual will integrate CI/CD pipelines with Infrastructure as Code tooling, cloud-native deployment patterns, and security scanning capabilities, ensuring that delivery pipelines are secure, observable, and aligned with enterprise compliance requirements. They will work closely with Cloud Engineering, Security, and application development teams to embed DevOps practices across the platform lifecycle.

The role requires a self-motivated technical leader with strong problem-solving ability, excellent communication skills, and a demonstrated track record of building and scaling DevOps platforms in complex enterprise environments. The individual must be equally comfortable leading a team, engaging with stakeholders, and getting hands-on with platform tooling and automation.

• Drive adoption of GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) capabilities, including code scanning, Dependabot, and secret detection. 

• Develop and maintain a centralized GitHub Actions workflow library available to application and platform teams. 

CI/CD Platform Engineering 

• Design and deliver a centralized, reusable CI/CD pipeline framework enabling consistent software delivery practices across multiple internal customer teams. 

• Build standardized pipeline templates covering build, test, security scanning, artifact management, and multi-environment deployment stages. 

• Establish CI/CD best practices and developer experience standards, including pipeline-as-code patterns, shift-left testing, and automated quality gates. 

• Define and implement deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, rolling) across cloud-native and hybrid workloads. 

• Develop pipeline observability capabilities, including build metrics, deployment frequency tracking, and DORA metric dashboards. 

Platform & Infrastructure Integration 

• Lead CI/CD capability development for current and future internal platform products and services. 

• Integrate CI/CD pipelines with Infrastructure-as-Code tooling to enable automated infrastructure provisioning and drift detection. 

• Collaborate with cloud platform teams to embed DevOps pipelines into cloud foundation patterns across AWS, Azure, and GCP. 

• Champion automation across the platform lifecycle, reducing toil and enabling self-service for engineering teams. 

Technical Leadership & Team Management
