About the role
This engineer will support the Engineering Practices team by helping define, build, and operationalize modern software engineering standards across the enterprise.
Responsibilities
- Build and implement automated architectural and engineering controls within CI/CD pipelines to reduce reliance on manual review gates.
- Support build-once, promote-through-environments deployment patterns using immutable artifacts and artifact repository controls.
- Help design and deliver golden paths / paved roads within the internal developer portal to reduce developer cognitive load and improve self-service adoption.
- Integrate security, quality, OSS, SBOM, dependency, license, and artifact policy checks into CI/CD workflows.
- Aid in engineering standards adoption through documentation, review processes, reusable patterns, and hands-on coaching.
- Support technology intake and OSS governance workflows that balance risk management with developer velocity.
- Help instrument and interpret DORA metrics to identify systemic delivery constraints and improvement opportunities.
- Contribute to developer portal scorecards, catalog health indicators, and governance patterns.
- Mentor engineering teams and serve as a credible technical partner who can validate practices through working examples, not just documentation.
Qualifications
- Hands-on experience building automated architectural enforcement as CI/CD fitness functions rather than relying on manual review gates.
- Practical experience with artifact promotion and immutability patterns (build-once, promote-through-environments) across environments.
- Working knowledge of software supply chain and DevSecOps tooling, including SBOM generation, dependency/license scanning, artifact repository policy enforcement (e.g., JFrog-class tooling), and OSS governance workflows.
- Strong coding ability across modern languages, with enough legacy-stack fluency (e.g., Java/EJB) to assess and refactor unfamiliar codebases.
- Proven ability to drive adoption of technical standards across engineering orgs without direct authority, through review processes, documentation, and demonstrable value rather than mandate.
- Familiarity with CI/CD platforms including self-hosted runner environments, and experience shifting security/quality checks left into the pipeline.
- Experience designing tiered technology intake processes (e.g., approved-catalog self-serve, net-new request workflows, automated OSS/dependency intake) that balance governance with developer velocity.
- Working knowledge of instrumenting DORA metrics and using them to diagnose systemic delivery constraints rather than team-level performance.
- Familiarity with catalog-based system health, scorecards, and governance patterns typical of internal developer portal platforms.
- Experience acting as a credibility anchor for engineering standards and practices, someone other engineers trust to have built and validated what they're recommending, not just documented it.
- Mentorship orientation: raising the technical bar of the broader engineering org, not just delivering personal output.
