• Oversee license usage and initiate procurement processes when necessary.
• Collaborate with engineers to understand workflow requirements and recommend improvements for efficiency and security.
• Provide advanced troubleshooting and technical support for toolchain-related issues.
• Ensure compliance with cybersecurity standards and best practices throughout the development lifecycle.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, DevOps/DevSecOps trends, and industry best practices to continuously improve processes.
• Drive automation initiatives to enhance productivity and reduce manual effort in software development workflows.

What your background should look like:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Proven experience in establishing and managing SDLC toolchains and CI/CD pipelines (preferably GitLab).
• Strong knowledge of DevOps and DevSecOps principles, infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Ansible), and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Bash, Python) and version control systems (Git).
• Hands-on experience with Windows and Linux server setup, configuration, and monitoring.
• Familiarity with embedded software development (C/C++, build tools like make/cmake).
• Experience integrating quality assurance tools (unit testing frameworks, static code analysis) into CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong understanding of cybersecurity requirements in software development environments.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, strong communication and collaboration abilities, proactive mindset, and ability to work independently in a global, cross-functional team.
