  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with stakeholders across geographies to build a repeatable playbook for CI/CD adoption.
Required Skills & Experience:
  • Proven experience leading DevOps transformations in large-scale enterprise environments.
  • Deep expertise in CI/CD lifecycle management, preferably with GitLab.
  • Strong background in test automation and reducing manual testing effort.
  • Hands-on experience with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud/on-prem hybrid deployments.
  • Familiarity with a broad tech stack including:
  • Languages: Java, .NET, Python, Scala, C++
  • Build Tools: Maven, Gradle, MS Build
  • DevOps Tools: GitLab, Ansible, Conda, Poetry
  • Monitoring & Logging: Elastic, ELK

  • Experience deploying to AWS, internal platforms (SIK, BCP 2.0), bare metal, and virtual platforms (EBP).
  • Ability to assess application maturity and bootstrap DevOps capabilities.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Desirable Attributes:
  • Experience working in geographically distributed teams.
  • Exposure to AI-driven test automation or DevOps tooling.
  • Familiarity with enterprise governance and compliance in CI/CD.
  • Ability to scale initiatives across multiple teams and geographies.
Success Criteria:
  • High utilisation of the standardised pipeline across target applications.
  • Successful production releases using the new pipeline.
