  • Design, implement, and optimize complex GitLab CI/CD pipelines using YAML best practices
  • Implement multi-stage, parallel, and conditional workflows for build, test, security scan, and deploy
  • Integrate static code analysis, security scanning (SAST/DAST), and container scanning into pipelines
  • Analyze existing Jenkins’s freestyle and scripted pipelines; translate to GitLab CI/CD syntax
  • Migrate Automic workflows/jobs into GitLab, orchestrating dependencies and scheduling
  • Reduce pipeline execution time through caching, artifact reuse, and pipeline templating
  • Lead the migration of container build and deployment processes from Docker to Podman/ Buildah
  • Author GitLab CI templates for Podman-based image builds and registries
  • Ensure the security and compliance of container images (signing, vulnerability scanning)
  • Leverage Terraform, Ansible, or similar to provision and manage self-hosted GitLab and runners
  • Implement GitOps practices to manage infrastructure and environment configurations
  • Automate operational tasks and incident remediation via pipelines and scripts
  • Partner with application teams to onboard them onto GitLab workflows and best practices
  • Develop and maintain clear runbooks, wiki pages, and pipeline templates
  • Conduct workshops, brown-bags, and training sessions to evangelize GitLab CI/CD
  • Integrate monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK) for GitLab health and pipeline performance
  • Implement policies and guardrails to ensure code quality, compliance, and security posture
  • Troubleshoot and resolve CI/CD or migration-related incidents in a timely manner
