Position:
DevOps & ALM Administrator
Job Description:
We are seeking a skilled and motivated DevOps & ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) Administrator with 4 to 6 years of experience to manage, optimize, and secure our CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and collaboration tools.
In this role, you will serve as the primary administrator for our enterprise Git ecosystems (Bitbucket, GitHub), Jira, and deployment automation platforms (FlexDeploy). You will play a critical role in bridging the gap between development and operations, ensuring seamless release management, high tool availability, and robust workflow automation.
Key Responsibilities
1. Version Control & Repository Administration (Bitbucket & GitHub)
- Administer, configure, and maintain enterprise-level Bitbucket and GitHub platforms.
- Manage user access control, permissions, repository branching strategies (Gitflow/Trunk-based), and security policies.
- Optimize Git workflows, hooks, and integrations with external CI/CD tools.
- Troubleshoot complex Git issues (merge conflicts, repository performance, migration from legacy tools).
2. Atlassian Suite Administration (Jira)
- Serve as the primary Jira Administrator, managing custom workflows, permission schemes, screen schemes, fields, and post-functions.
- Maintain and optimize Jira configurations to align with Agile/Scrum methodologies.
- Manage user management, licensing, and integration with third-party plugins and developer tools.
- Create and maintain custom dashboards, filters, and reporting structures for engineering and leadership teams.
3. Release Management & Build Automation (FlexDeploy)
- Design, build, and maintain automated deployment pipelines using FlexDeploy.
- Configure FlexDeploy topologies, environments, and release pipelines to support multi-tier applications (including ERPs/middleware if applicable).
- Automate build, test, and deployment phases to minimize manual intervention and minimize deployment windows.
- Troubleshoot deployment failures and collaborate with development teams to resolve environment-related issues.
4. Automation & Scripting
- Write and maintain high-quality scripts (e.g., Python, Bash, or PowerShell) to automate routine administrative tasks across Jira, Git, and deployment platforms.
- Leverage REST APIs of GitHub, Bitbucket, Jira, and FlexDeploy to build custom integrations and monitoring scripts.
Required Skills and Qualifications
- Experience: 4 to 6 years of core experience in DevOps, Build/Release Management, or Tools Administration.
- Version Control: Deep architectural and administrative understanding of Git, with hands-on enterprise experience in both Bitbucket and GitHub.
- ALM Tools: Strong proficiency in Jira Administration (Cloud or Data Center), including workflow customization and API integration.
- Deployment Automation: Proven experience configuring and managing FlexDeploy (or similar enterprise release orchestration tools like Jenkins/GitLab CI, but with explicit knowledge of FlexDeploy concepts).
- Scripting: Proficient in Python or Bash for automation and tool integration.
- CI/CD Concepts: Strong understanding of continuous integration, continuous delivery, artifact management, and infrastructure as code.
- Soft Skills: Excellent troubleshooting skills, strong communication, and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional development and QA teams.
Preferred Qualifications (Good to Have)
- Atlassian Certified Professional (ACP) or GitHub Administration certification.
- Experience administering tools in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Understanding of Agile, Scrum, or ITIL frameworks.
