This position is required in one of the following locations: Lafayette, LA, Knoxville, TN, Columbia, SC, Birmingham, AL

Your future duties and responsibilities:

. Assess existing Jenkins pipelines, UCD deployment processes, scripts, integrations, and dependencies.

. Create and maintain reusable Terraform modules for automated infrastructure provisioning and configuration.
. Migrate prioritized application pipelines across development, testing, staging, and production environments.
. Integrate GitLab pipelines with cloud platforms, artifact repositories, security scanning tools, secrets management solutions, and monitoring platforms.
. Implement appropriate approval gates, role based access controls, auditability, and deployment controls.
. Troubleshoot pipeline failures, Terraform issues, environment specific problems, and deployment dependencies.
. Partner with application, infrastructure, security, testing, and operations teams to validate migrated pipelines.
. Document current state findings, target state architecture, migration procedures, operational support processes, and rollback plans.
. Provide deployment support and hypercare following each migration wave.
. Conduct technical walkthroughs and knowledge transfer sessions for engineering and support teams.
. Track progress, risks, dependencies, and completed outcomes against the three month delivery plan.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

. Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.
. Ability to work in an outcome driven engagement with an accelerated delivery timeline.

Desired Skillset:

. Experience migrating CI/CD pipelines specifically from Jenkins and UCD to GitLab.
. Experience with AWS services, IAM, networking, and multi account environments.
. Experience integrating pipelines with tools such as Artifactory, SonarQube, ServiceNow, Vault, or AWS Secrets Manager.
. Knowledge of container technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift.
