About The Position

As part of integrating ETRADE technology with a wealth management client, we're harmonizing development practices into a unified developer experience built on polyglot, product-aligned GitHub mono-repos. This role empowers developers to ship high-quality code faster by designing, automating, and supporting the platform tooling, CI/CD, and AI-assisted workflows that span Node.js/TypeScript, Java, and Python stacks.

Requirements

• 7+ years in DevOps, platform, or application engineering (Java and/or JavaScript/TypeScript).
• AI-assisted development: Mid-level or stronger hands-on use of AI coding tools and agentic workflows (GitHub Copilot, Copilot/Claude agents, prompt engineering, MCP) on real delivery work.
• CI/CD & automation: Proven experience designing and maintaining pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred).
• Build & package systems: Multi-language tooling (pnpm/npm, Maven/Gradle, uv/pip) and monorepo conventions (Nx, Lerna, pnpm workspaces, or equivalents).
• Platform fundamentals: Linux, advanced Git (GitHub and Bitbucket), containers with Podman (rootless/daemonless) and Docker-compatible workflows, plus Kubernetes/orchestration.
• Scripting: Strong skills in Python, Bash, Groovy, or JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Soft skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, excellent written/verbal English, and a self-motivated team player who adapts quickly.

Nice To Haves

• Software supply-chain security (SBOM, SCA/SAST such as Snyk and SonarQube, secret scanning).
• Deep observability practice with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana.
• Dependency management at scale (Dependabot or Renovate) and authoring AI agent customizations (agents, skills, instruction files) to standardize automation.
• Broader SDLC process knowledge.

Responsibilities

• Migrate & consolidate: Move projects from Bitbucket Server into product-aligned GitHub mono-repos across multiple teams and stacks (Node.js/TypeScript, Java, Python).
• Own the monorepo workflow: Build and maintain unified tooling with Nx, Lerna, and pnpm workspaces — affected-graph builds, task caching, and project scaffolding.
• Modernize builds: Standardize Java builds (Maven, with Gradle migration where it pays off) integrated with JFrog Artifactory and our Train deployment system.
• Design CI/CD: Build GitHub Actions pipelines — reusable workflows, matrix builds, caching, and supply-chain controls (SBOM, dependency and secret scanning) — partnering with the squads that own shared CI/CD infrastructure.
• Automate code hygiene: Drive Dependabot updates, scheduled/manual maintenance workflows, agentic triage-and-patch automation, and large-scale refactoring (OpenRewrite/Moderne), enforcing conventional-commit and automated-release standards.
• Advance AI-assisted DevEx: Extend GitHub Copilot, custom agents, reusable prompts/instructions, and MCP tooling to automate migration, review, and repetitive engineering work; add linters, static analysis, and codegen.
• Make systems observable: Implement logging, tracing, and alerting (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) for visibility and performance insight.
• Share knowledge: Document and champion the team's tooling, processes, and practices with development partners.
