Develop and implement DevOps adoption frameworks across multiple teams, ensuring effective transformation from traditional development models to agile, automated workflows. Oversee the creation and implementation of processes for DevSecOps, ensuring security is integrated throughout the CI/CD pipeline. Metrics Definition & Tracking: Design and implement metrics collection strategies that track DevOps maturity, adoption, and the effectiveness of automation processes. Define key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to monitor the success of DevOps initiatives, including deployment frequency, lead time for changes, mean time to recovery (MTTR), and other essential metrics. Ensure visibility of metrics across teams and stakeholders, and provide actionable insights to continuously improve DevOps processes. CI/CD Pipeline Management & Build Automation: Oversee the implementation and optimization of CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Enterprise and Azure DevOps to automate the build, test, and deployment processes. Create and maintain global templates for DevOps pipelines across multiple projects, ensuring consistency, scalability, and quality in build and deployment processes. Design and implement build breaker mechanisms for stage gates, ensuring that code quality, security compliance, and testing standards are met before progressing to the next stage. Process Optimization & Automation: Work closely with engineering teams to identify areas for automation and process improvement in the build, test, and deployment workflows. Define and refine processes to ensure high-quality code delivery, timely releases, and compliance with regulatory or security standards. Optimize existing DevOps workflows and tools to increase the speed, stability, and security of application releases. Team Collaboration & Coaching: Collaborate with various engineering, development, and security teams to understand their challenges and requirements, and implement DevOps solutions that address their needs. Provide mentorship and guidance to DevOps teams in adopting best practices, troubleshooting pipeline issues, and designing solutions for continuous integration and deployment. Foster a culture of collaboration and continuous learning, ensuring that teams are always up-to-date on the latest DevOps trends, practices, and tools. Tooling & Automation Frameworks: Design and maintain automation frameworks using YAML, integrating with tools like GitHub Enterprise, Azure DevOps, and other DevOps tools to streamline and automate the delivery lifecycle. Ensure the consistency of processes across all environments (development, test, production) by maintaining standardized automation practices and templates. Governance & Compliance: Develop governance frameworks to ensure compliance with industry standards and organizational policies while supporting DevSecOps practices. Ensure security standards are embedded into every phase of the DevOps lifecycle, including vulnerability scanning, code analysis, and securing cloud infrastructure. Stakeholder Reporting & Insights: Prepare regular reports for senior leadership, providing insights on DevOps performance, adoption, and challenges. Present findings and recommendations for optimizing DevOps processes and metrics tracking to executive teams.
