• Develop and maintain application manifests and deployment configurations using Helm, Kustomize, and YAML.
• Improve developer experience by standardizing pipeline patterns and release processes across multiple application teams.
• Integrate testing, security scanning, and quality gates directly into CI/CD pipelines.
• Troubleshoot and optimize pipeline execution, deployment failures, and release automation workflows.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with OpenShift Pipelines (Tekton) in an application delivery or release engineering context.
• Experience implementing GitOps for application deployments using Argo CD / OpenShift GitOps.
• Strong background supporting CI/CD for containerized applications.
