AI DevOps Engineer (GitLab Duo / Python / Atlassian / GenAI)

EU Remote | B2B

About the project
We are building an end-to-end AI agent workflow connecting Atlassian Rovo with GitLab Duo.
The goal is to create a working prototype that connects agile planning with software development through AI-powered automation, with a clearly defined Jira-to-GitLab integration point and a concept for scaling the solution further.
Atlassian Rovo supports the planning stage by collecting requirements, using knowledge from Jira and Confluence, and creating high-quality User Stories with Acceptance Criteria.
Once a User Story is ready, the workflow is handed over to GitLab Duo, where AI supports the software development process — from generating a technical specification to creating the initial code structure, tests, and Merge Request.

Your role
Design and implement AI-driven development and DevOps workflows.
Develop the integration between Jira / Atlassian Rovo and GitLab.
Build automation around GitLab repositories, branches, and Merge Requests.
Enable the transformation of Jira User Stories into technical specifications.
Automate Git branch and initial code structure creation.
Support AI-assisted code and test generation.
Automate Merge Request creation and preparation.
Define and implement the technical handoff between Jira and GitLab.
Develop automation and integration components using Python.
Work with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations.
Integrate AI capabilities into existing software development and DevOps processes.
Contribute to the design of a scalable solution beyond the initial prototype.

What we’re looking for
Experience as a DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Automation Engineer, Developer Experience Engineer, or in a similar technical role.
Strong hands-on experience with GitLab, including CI/CD, repositories, branches, and Merge Requests.
Strong understanding of CI/CD, Git workflows, and modern software development processes.
Strong hands-on Python experience, particularly for automation and integrations.
Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations.
Good understanding of Generative AI, LLMs, AI agents, and AI-driven automation.
Experience with Jira, Confluence, or other Atlassian products.
Ability to integrate automation and AI capabilities into existing technical workflows.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
English - B2.
