- Develop and maintain Python-based automation and integration scripts to streamline development workflows and cross-tool communication.

- Design, build, and manage CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, including job configuration, pipeline-as-code, and build optimization.

- Integrate tools such as JIRA, Jenkins, Klocwork, and Kubernetes through APIs and custom scripts to ensure smooth end-to-end process flow.

- Manage and optimize Kubernetes-based workloads, understand cluster resource utilization, and contribute to infra capacity planning.

- Maintain and enhance Make/CMake-based build systems, troubleshoot build failures, and optimize compilation workflows.

- Perform static code analysis using Klocwork, automate scan execution, and integrate results reporting into CI pipelines.

- Track, manage, and report engineering tasks and defects using JIRA; automate ticket creation, updates, and reporting via JIRA APIs.

- Understand and evaluate infrastructure requirements and resource utilization to support scaling and performance goals.

- Debug complex system-level issues across build, infra, and integration layers; provide root cause analysis and lasting fixes.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (developers, QA, ops) to improve tooling and reduce friction in the SDLC.
