Position Summary

Voyage is seeking a highly skilled mid to senior level DevOps Engineer with an active Secret clearance. The ideal candidate defines and owns the enterprise source control and release engineering strategy, enabling development and engineering teams' organization-wide to build, test, and release software through standardized, secure, and auditable workflows.

This role leads the consolidation of fragmented Git platforms and repository practices across the organization into a single, governed source control and automation foundation, and sets the CI/CD standards that teams build against. The ideal candidate is hands-on with enterprise Git platform administration, fluent in modern CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code practices, and comfortable operating as the enterprise authority on source control standards.

The role also owns the organization-wide platform services that build and release pipelines depend on - a shared container registry, object storage, and centralized secrets management - replacing team-specific instances with Voyager-standard, enterprise-supported services.

Key Responsibilities

Git Platform Strategy & Consolidation

• Define and own the enterprise Git platform strategy, including platform standards, architecture, and long-term roadmap.

• Lead the consolidation of source control tooling across the organization, migrating and standardizing repositories from legacy and fragmented platforms onto an approved enterprise standard.

• Administer enterprise Git platforms (self-hosted and cloud-hosted), including repository structure, access controls, and branch protection policies.

• Integrate enterprise Git platforms with identity and access management for automated user provisioning and deprovisioning.

• Define and enforce branching strategies, code review workflows, and repository governance standards across engineering teams.

• Manage platform licensing, seat allocation, organizational structure, and version upgrades.

CI/CD Pipeline Engineering

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines across the organization's build and release tooling.

• Implement automated build, test, security scanning, and deployment workflows across development, staging, and production environments.

• Build reusable pipeline templates and shared workflow libraries to standardize CI/CD practices across teams.

• Integrate artifact repositories and container registries into pipeline workflows.

• Monitor and optimize pipeline performance, reliability, and compute cost across the organization's CI/CD platforms.

Platform Services: Container Registry, Object Storage & Secrets Management

• Deploy and operate an organization-wide container registry (e.g., Harbor or equivalent) to host, scan, and manage container images across engineering and manufacturing teams, consolidating existing team-specific registries onto a single Voyager-standard service.

• Deploy and operate organization-wide object storage (e.g., MinIO or equivalent S3-compatible storage) for build artifacts, test data, and engineering file storage.

• Own centralized secrets management infrastructure (e.g., HashiCorp Vault or equivalent) as a shared platform service supporting CI/CD pipelines, applications, and infrastructure automation enterprise-wide, replacing ad hoc or team-local secrets handling.

• Define access control, retention, backup, and disaster recovery policies for the registry, object storage, and secrets management platforms.

Infrastructure as Code & Automation

• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and/or CloudFormation for Git platform, CI/CD, and platform services infrastructure.

• Write automation scripts in Python, PowerShell, and Bash to support platform operations, developer tooling, and workflow automation.

• Containerize build and deployment workflows using Docker; support Kubernetes-based deployment pipelines.

Security, Compliance & Observability

• Partner with cybersecurity and compliance teams to ensure Git platform configurations meet data handling and access control requirements.

• Implement audit logging, access reviews, and compliance reporting for source control and CI/CD systems.

• Integrate static and dynamic application security testing and dependency scanning into pipeline workflows.

• Monitor platform health, pipeline failures, and security events; implement proactive alerting and self-healing mechanisms where possible.

Collaboration & Documentation

• Partner with engineering, data, and platform teams to translate development workflow needs into Git and CI/CD solutions.

• Create and maintain documentation for Git standards, pipeline templates, and platform runbooks.

• Serve as the technical resource and escalation point for Git and CI/CD issues across the organization.

• Participate in architecture reviews and cross-functional planning for engineering tooling and platform roadmap.
