• Define artifact versioning, release governance, and Dev Sec Ops  controls embedded into the SDLC.

• Design repository scalability and performance standards, including Git LFS usage and monorepo vs multirepo strategies.
• Drive platform reliability, security posture, and operational best practices across Git Hub Enterprise.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (security, cloud, application, compliance) to ensure alignment with enterprise policies and regulatory needs.

• Deep hands‑on experience with Git Hub Enterprise administration and architecture.
• Strong expertise in Dev Sec Ops  practices, pipeline security, and secure SDLC.
• Proven experience designing and implementing enterprise‑grade CI/CD frameworks (Git Hub Actions strongly preferred).
• Strong knowledge of identity and access management, including SSO/SCIM integrations and RBAC models.
• Experience working with audit, compliance, and governance requirements in regulated enterprise environments.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to execute technically and influence stakeholders.
• Excellent communication skills with experience producing architecture documentation and presenting to executives.
• Demonstrated success operating in large‑scale, complex enterprise environments.

• Git Hub Administration and/or Git Hub Advanced Security certifications.
• Cloud Architect certifications (Azure Solutions Architect, AWS Solutions Architect).
