Project Overview:

Join our Delivery department as an Architect to play a pivotal role in optimizing and streamlining development processes using cutting-edge tools and methodologies. This position focuses on implementing robust DevOps practices and leveraging cloud technologies to drive efficiency and scalability.

Key Responsibilities:

Role Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Harness CI/CD Architect/Lead to define, architect, and implement enterprise CI/CD Gold Standards using Harness. The architect will establish scalable, secure, automated CI/CD patterns and drive adoption across application and engineering teams.

This role requires someone who can architect, build, conduct POCs, implement, and standardize CI/CD solutions—not just provide architectural guidance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define enterprise CI/CD architecture, standards, and reference architectures using Harness.
  • Establish CI/CD Gold Standards covering build, test, security, artifact management, deployment, release, approvals, rollback, and governance.
  • Design and implement Harness CI/CD pipelines and reusable pipeline templates.
  • Build hands-on POCs and reference implementations across different application and technology stacks.
  • Implement deployment strategies including rolling, blue/green, canary, and progressive delivery.
  • Integrate Harness with GitHub actions, Blackduck, Egg plant, ServiceNow, Jira, Terraform, OCP, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure and GCP.
  • Establish DevSecOps controls and security gates within CI/CD pipelines.
  • Define CI/CD patterns for Kubernetes, microservices, cloud-native applications, and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Assess and modernize existing CI/CD platforms such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps and GitLab.
  • Evaluate DevOps tools and technologies through POCs and technical assessments, providing clear recommendations.
  • Establish CI/CD governance, engineering standards, reusable frameworks, and adoption guidelines.
  • Partner with engineering, cloud, security and platform teams to drive enterprise adoption.
  • Define and track CI/CD metrics including deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, pipeline reliability and automation.

Required Skills

  • Strong hands-on Harness CI/CD experience.
  • Enterprise CI/CD architecture and implementation experience.
  • Strong DevSecOps knowledge.
  • Hands-on experience with OCP, Docker and Terraform.
  • Strong Git and pipeline-as-code experience.
  • Experience with AWS, Azure
  • Experience integrating CI/CD with security, ITSM, artifact management and observability tools.
  • Strong scripting/automation skills using Python, Bash or similar.
  • Proven ability to conduct POCs and implement production solutions.

What We Are Looking For

  • A hands-on architect, not a documentation-only architect.
  • Ability to translate requirements into scalable CI/CD architecture.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to establish standards and drive adoption across engineering teams.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Passion for automation, engineering productivity and continuous improvement.
