Senior Technical Architect

Senior Technical Architect

We are looking for one senior, hands-on Dev Sec Ops  Platform Architect / Lead Engineer to support an enterprise Dev Sec Ops  services enhancement project. The resource will assess the current enterprise Dev Sec Ops  environment, identify platform scalability, resiliency, availability, security, observability, and developer-experience gaps, and provide design guidance, implementation support, runbooks, roadmap inputs, and proof-of-concept/workshop support. The role requires strong hands-on experience across enterprise CI/CD platforms, Git Lab, Artifactory, build runners, Dev Sec Ops  security controls, observability, platform reliability, automation, Kubernetes/Open Shift, and large-scale engineering tool chains.

This is a single-resource requirement, so the candidate must be capable of leading customer discussions, performing technical assessments, preparing architecture recommendations, and supporting hands-on implementation/configuration activities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assess the current enterprise Dev Sec Ops  architecture, integrations, infrastructure, operations, dependencies, performance, and developer workflows.
• Review and analyze platforms and services such as Git Lab, Artifactory, Grafana, Coverity, Polyspace, Elastic Build Runner Services, Kubernetes/Open Shift, databases, storage, networking, identity services, and related infrastructure.
• Identify bottlenecks, single points of failure, technical debt, capacity constraints, resiliency gaps, monitoring gaps, security gaps, and operational risks.
• Establish performance and capacity baselines for enterprise Dev Sec Ops  services.
• Evaluate scalability requirements to support growth from approximately 5,000 to 15,000 users over three years.
• Assess build runner scalability, concurrency, autoscaling behavior, queue-time objectives, workload isolation, infrastructure requirements, service quotas, and cost drivers.
• Evaluate global Active-Active architecture options, including regional topology, traffic management, replication, failover, data consistency, security, operational complexity, cost, and product constraints.
• Assess developer experience issues such as pipeline delays, onboarding challenges, service interruptions, latency, runner bottlenecks, lack of self-service, documentation gaps, and support friction.
• Design and recommend improvements to enhance availability, reliability, resiliency, scalability, security, automation, developer experience, and operational sustainability.
• Support secure software supply-chain improvements across CI/CD pipelines, including security controls, reusable templates, automated gates, exception workflows, and centralized reporting.
• Support integration or design of security capabilities such as SAST, SCA, secrets detection, DAST, Infrastructure-as-Code scanning, container scanning, malware detection, license compliance, vulnerability management, SBOM management, artifact signing, provenance, trusted promotion, protected runners, and compliance evidence retention.
• Define or support trusted and reproducible build practices using approved registries, approved repositories, dependency pinning, artifact immutability, least-privilege access, runner security, and prevention of unauthorized build inputs.
• Assess and improve CI/CD observability across logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts, SLIs, SLOs, synthetic monitoring, service-health views, dependency monitoring, and incident-response integration.
• Design or enhance enterprise dashboards for platform operations, product owners, service desk teams, developers, security teams, and leadership.
• Define actionable alerting, escalation, severity, deduplication, suppression, and on-call integration recommendations to reduce alert fatigue and improve issue detection.
• Prepare architecture outputs, gap analysis, resiliency assessment, observability design, roadmap, runbooks, technical findings, recommendations, and knowledge-transfer material.
• Participate in customer workshops, design reviews, weekly status meetings, and monthly reporting inputs.
• Support hands-on proof-of-concept or workshop activities for selected Dev Sec Ops  capabilities using…
