About the Opportunity

Our client, a leader in Global Technology and Solutions, is looking for a skilled Sr. DevOps Engineer to join their team for a 1-year engagement. This project involves assisting their software teams on a critical, long-term project to migrate to a new GitHub Enterprise platform, including a new Managed User organization. This is a high‑impact role that requires a self‑motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

• Leading the migration of software teams' repositories and users into a new GitHub Enterprise Managed User organization, serving as the primary point of contact for these teams.
• Automating software deployment processes by developing expert‑level Python tools that run locally, within Docker containers, and in AWS Lambda.
• Collaboratively working to research, design, implement, deploy, and operate systems, with a focus on improving code releases and deployment planning.
• Identifying, troubleshooting, and resolving issues in development, test, and production environments and processes, coordinating to increase effectiveness.
• Refining operating environments by continuously improving the infrastructure to be easily deployable and scalable.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of experience in a similar role.
• Deep expertise in Git, GitHub (including Organization and Enterprise Administration, Managed Users), GitHub Actions, and GitHub Copilot. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals, with an adeptness for project‑style ways of working.
• Experience with Agile methodology, the software development lifecycle, and automation tools for developing digital pipelines.
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates and collaborate across various lines of business and senior stakeholders.
