Build, maintain, and deploy Docker containers and support Kubernetes-based workloads.
Partner with software engineers to integrate CI/CD best practices into C/C++ development workflows.
Improve reliability and observability of CI/CD systems through monitoring, logging, and alerting.
Collaborate with cross-functional ADAS teams to remove DevOps, build, and infrastructure bottlenecks.
Implement secure CI/CD practices including secrets management, artifact signing, and access controls.
