Architectural Transformation Specialist

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Architectural Assessment Lead to join our team. As an Architectural Assessment Lead, you will be responsible for leading the execution of architecture assessments across various domains, including infrastructure, platform, application, data, and process.

This is an exciting opportunity for a seasoned professional with a strong background in DevSecOps, CI/CD pipeline engineering, and security integration. If you have a passion for designing and implementing robust pipelines, integrating security scanning tools, and ensuring compliance, then this role is perfect for you.

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in DevSecOps, with advanced proficiency in Jenkins, Git version control, and Ansible. They will also have a solid understanding of security scanning tools, automated test frameworks, and OpenShift configurations. Additionally, the candidate should be comfortable working directly with pipelines and infrastructure, with excellent troubleshooting skills and scripting abilities.

As an Architectural Assessment Lead, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and optimize DevSecOps pipelines, ensure security integration, and promote compliance. You will also contribute to standardizing CI/CD logic, implementing rollback mechanisms, and defining RBAC policies across DevSecOps toolchains.

• Design, implement, and optimize robust Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to support automated builds, tests, conditional deployments, rollback logic, and environment-specific delivery strategies.
• Apply and enforce Git branching and tagging standards to ensure version alignment, traceability, and visibility across environments and releases.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts using Ansible to support infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and tool onboarding across the DevSecOps toolchain.
• Integrate DevSecOps pipelines with application security scanning tools (e.g., SonarQube, Fortify, OWASP ZAP/WebInspect, Synopsys SRM, Clair, GitLeaks), ensuring they are triggered at appropriate pipeline stages and results are captured for gate enforcement.
• Implement automated test execution (unit, functional, and performance) within pipelines to ensure early issue detection and promote high code quality throughout the SDLC.
• Ensure effective integration with Jira to automate traceability between pipeline events (builds, tests, promotions) and tracked work items (stories, tasks, bugs).
• Support the implementation of GitOps workflows using Helm, ensuring all Kubernetes configurations and releases are fully managed through version-controlled repositories.
• Contribute to standardizing CI/CD logic and implementing rollback mechanisms to enhance deployment resilience and recoverability.
• Work hands-on in configuring and managing OpenShift (OCP) in on-premises environments, including Helm-based deployments, namespace isolation, and cluster-level rollout strategies.
• Define and enforce RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) policies across DevSecOps toolchains (e.g., Jenkins, Git, Helm, Ansible) to ensure secure and auditable access segregation.
• Collaborate with platform, security, and application teams to enable structured promotion gates, audit-compliant approvals, and traceable release processes across all environments.
• Implement automated release gates and visibility dashboards by linking CI/CD events to Jira tickets, Git commits, and promotion approvals.

• Minimum 5 years of practical, hands-on experience in DevSecOps, focused on CI/CD pipeline engineering and security integration.
• Advanced proficiency with Jenkins for pipeline orchestration, approval management, and tool integration.
• Expert-level understanding of Git version control, branching strategies (e.g., Git Flow, trunk-based), and CI/CD alignment.
• Strong command of Ansible for infrastructure and application deployment automation.
• Solid experience integrating CI/CD pipelines with security scanning tools (e.g., SonarQube, Fortify, OWASP ZAP/WebInspect, Synopsys SRM, Clair, GitLeaks, etc..).
• Proven experience with automated test frameworks and integrating test execution and reporting within CI/CD workflows.
• Hands-on experience with OpenShift (OCP) in on-premises environments, including Helm-based application deployments and namespace-level configuration.
• Strong knowledge of RBAC implementation across CI/CD tools and Kubernetes environments.
• Proficient in Jira usage and workflow integration, including automation of ticket updates, linking commits, and enabling traceable release processes.
• Familiarity with SDLC process alignment (e.g., release gates, rollback validations, ticket linking).
• Comfortable working directly with pipelines and infrastructure in a hands-on capacity with minimal supervision.
• Strong troubleshooting skills, scripting ability (e.g., Bash, Python), and CI/CD pipeline debugging expertise.
