Mid-Level DevOps Engineer - CI/CD Optimization (466)

Ubiminds is a GPTW-certified, people-first company that partners with American software product companies to scale their global teams.

About the Role

You'll join a team focused on modernizing CI/CD pipelines and building systems, helping transform legacy processes into fast, reliable, and automated delivery workflows.

We're looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer who genuinely enjoys untangling legacy build pipelines and turning them into clean, scalable, and automated systems.

This is not a maintenance-only role. You’ll be responsible for analyzing existing CI/CD workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and driving modernization efforts that directly improve developer productivity, delivery speed, and system reliability.

Responsibilities

• Analyze and evaluate legacy CI/CD pipelines, identifying inefficiencies, failure points, and manual steps.
• Design and implement modern CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, security checks, and streamlined deployments.
• Migrate manual infrastructure and build configurations to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Define and implement standardized “golden paths” for build and deployment workflows across environments.
• Improve pipeline observability by implementing logging, monitoring, and alerting, ensuring fast and actionable feedback for developers.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers to improve build reliability and deployment confidence.
• Take ownership of CI/CD improvements from design through production rollout.
• Actively contribute ideas to improve DevOps practices, tooling, and overall engineering efficiency.

Mandatory Skills

• 3–5 years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering.
• Proven experience modernizing or migrating legacy CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
• Solid experience with containerization using Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, or Go.
• Experience working with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).
• Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts, build optimization, and deployment strategies.
• Comfortable working in environments with legacy systems (custom scripts, XML configs, manual processes).
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
• Clear and confident English communication skills (written and verbal).

Nice to Have

• Experience implementing security scanning and compliance checks within CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with secrets management and state handling in modern DevOps environments.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Experience working in high-availability or production-critical environments.
• Prior involvement in defining DevOps standards or platform best practices.

Team & Environment

• Distributed, international engineering team.
• Strong ownership culture — engineers drive solutions end to end.
• Focus on modernization, automation, and developer experience.
• High autonomy to propose and implement improvements.
• Collaborative environment with direct impact on engineering velocity.
