- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to ensure fast and reliable releases.
- Champion best practices for Git and GitHub, including branching strategies, pull requests, and code review workflows.
- Ensure our infrastructure and pipelines meet the stringent security and compliance standards required for our public sector clients.
- Write and maintain robust Python scripts to automate operational tasks, deployments, and infrastructure management.
- Contribute to the development of our LLM-based AI tools (currently in closed beta)
- Work closely with the development team to support the deployment of our FastAPI applications and foster a strong DevOps culture.
- Iteratively improve the pipelines and codebases with refactoring, bug fixes, and optimisation.
