Why this is an exceptional opportunity
Join a forward-thinking software team working on a strategic migration to a new GitHub Enterprise environment.

• Manage Git, GitHub Organization Administration, GitHub Enterprise Administration, GitHub Actions, GitHub Copilot, and GitHub Enterprise Managed Users.

• Develop automation in Python that runs locally, in Docker containers, and on AWS Lambda, streamlining deployment and scaling processes.

• Collaborate with software teams to drive test-driven development (TDD), strong documentation practices, and quality code standards.

• Automate build, test, deployment, and monitoring pipelines across development, staging, and production environments.

• Troubleshoot, refine, and resolve operational or infrastructure issues before they impact performance.

• Build tools, playbooks, and processes that improve deployment speed, reduce risk, and increase developer productivity.

• Support multiple platforms and integrate identity/access management where needed, including Azure Entra AD for SSO.
