Location: New Jersey (Onsite) Full Time only

Full description

About the role

You will design and implement reliable, idempotent automation and CI/CD pipelines to ensure approved repository packages are securely retrieved, validated, and installed on target Linux servers (PMUL/Cybersphere). Collaborate with security, release, and operations teams to meet audit/compliance requirements.

Key responsibilities

Build CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins) that fetch approved artifacts, verify integrity, install packages, and run post-install validations.
Develop idempotent install automation (Ansible preferred) that supports install/upgrade/uninstall and rollback.
Integrate with internal artifact repositories and implement checksum/signature verification.
Implement secure secrets handling (Jenkins credentials / Vault), mutual TLS or token auth for repo access, and detailed audit logging.
Add automated smoke tests, health checks, and monitoring/alerts for install outcomes and configuration drift.
Document runbooks, rollback procedures, and pipeline design; provide knowledge transfer to ops teams.
Ensure solutions comply with enterprise change controls and security policies.

Required qualifications

6+ years engineering experience with 4+ years in DevOps/SRE/automation roles (senior level).
Strong Linux administration (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu) and package management (rpm/yum, dpkg/apt).
Hands-on experience with Ansible (preferred) or Chef/Puppet and with writing idempotent automation.
Proficient in Jenkins pipeline development (Jenkinsfile, shared libraries) and CI/CD concepts.
Experience with artifact stores (Artifactory/Nexus) and secure artifact retrieval practices.

Scripting: Python and Bash; familiarity with shell tooling and unit-testable scripts. Experience with secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, cloud KMS) and secure credential usage in pipelines. Good knowledge of networking, SSH, firewalls, and access controls; strong documentation skills. Experience working in regulated/compliant environments is strongly preferred.

Preferred

Direct experience integrating with internal enterprise repos or PMUL/Cybersphere-like platforms.
Familiarity with signing artifacts (GPG), checksum verification, and binary provenance.
Terraform or cloud IaC experience; container orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes) a plus.
Experience with ServiceNow/ITSM integration and change-control workflows.
