• Design and maintain Artifactory automation, integrations, shared pipeline components, templates, and automation frameworks that reduce manual effort and improve consistency.
• Enable scalable and repeatable CI/CD execution using Artifactory across on-premises and cloud environments, including containerized and ephemeral build environments.
• Own the operational health of the Artifactory platform across on-premises, AWS, and Azure environments, including reliability, availability, and performance; monitoring, alerting, and observability; capacity, storage, and platform health; and backup, recovery, and disaster recovery readiness.
• Partner on incident response, root cause analysis, and blameless postmortems, ensuring learnings are incorporated into platform improvements and automation.
• Drive platform upgrades, patching, lifecycle management, and operational automation to maintain security, reliability, and supportability.
• Improve monitoring and feedback loops so platform issues are identified early and resolved with minimal impact to engineering teams.
• Provide secondary operational support and engineering contribution across SonarQube, Bitbucket, and related CI/CD capabilities.
• Lead pragmatic design and trade-off discussions across on-premises, AWS, and Azure environments, balancing speed, reliability, security, scalability, and cost.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership for Artifactory architecture, integrations, automation, upgrades, and platform engineering.
• Contribute reusable patterns, automation, and engineering practices through platform communities and engineering guilds.
• Drive adoption of platform standards across diverse engineering teams.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers.
• Work closely with Product, Security, Infrastructure, Cloud, and Platform teams.
• Participate in Agile delivery, including planning, demos, and retrospectives.
