In this position, you will design and develop high-performance, secure, and automated pipelines for deployment of Esri technology in the cloud and no-premises.
Key Responsibilities
Design, implement, and maintain high-speed CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps for cloud-native workflows and Jenkins for complex, cross-platform on-premises build automation
Architect and optimize Docker environments to ensure consistent, isolated, and reproducible build/test runners across the entire development lifecycle
Work with the team to help lead the design of the next-generation Python package creation process; manage complex Conda recipes and environments to ensure seamless distribution of the ArcGIS API and its dependencies
Build and manage the underlying build infrastructure (runners, nodes, and registries) using automated provisioning to ensure high availability and scalability of the release system
Implement automated security gatekeeping, including the generation of SBOMs (software Bill of Materials), vulnerability scanning, and license compliance for all Python and Rust artifacts
Work with the team to help design and implement monitoring frameworks to track build performance; assist in automated load and performance testing of the Python stack to identify regressions before release
Identify and eliminate manual bottlenecks by transitioning legacy workflows into modern, "everything-as-code" processes
Oversee the lifecycle of third-party dependencies, ensuring that the supply chain is secure, from source code to the final distributed package
