Scope:

The Software Configuration Manager (SCM) is responsible for defining, implementing, and managing configuration management practices across the software development lifecycle. This role ensures repeatable and reliable build and release processes through effective version control, change management, and automation. The ideal candidate will establish scalable CI/CD pipelines, support development and DevOps teams, and enforce software configuration standards to drive delivery excellence and reduce deployment risks.

What you will do:

Configuration & Version Management

• Establish and maintain software configuration management policies, procedures, and standards across all development environments.

• Manage source code repositories (e.g., Git, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), branching strategies, and versioning controls to ensure traceability and auditability.

• Define baselines and ensure proper labeling and archiving of software versions, documentation, and artifacts.

Build & Release Automation

• Design and implement automated build, test, and deployment pipelines using industry-standard CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, CircleCI).

• Ensure software builds are reproducible and verifiable across environments.

• Manage deployment processes for development, testing, staging, and production environments to support agile development and rapid delivery.

Process Implementation & Governance

• Develop and maintain repeatable, scalable processes for software packaging, change control, and environment promotion.

• Establish change tracking and release documentation practices that meet internal quality standards and regulatory compliance requirements.

• Collaborate with QA, Development, and IT Operations teams to align release planning and minimize release risks.

Tooling & Integration

• Evaluate and implement tools that support configuration management, artifact repository (e.g., Nexus, Artifactory), and release orchestration.

• Integrate SCM practices with issue tracking systems (e.g., JIRA, Azure Boards) and documentation repositories (e.g., Confluence, SharePoint).

• Provide training and support to development teams on configuration standards, CI/CD best practices, and tooling usage.

Continuous Improvement & Innovation

• Monitor emerging practices in DevOps, CI/CD, and configuration management to continuously improve release agility and system reliability.

• Conduct post-release reviews to identify process improvements and lessons learned.

• Promote a culture of continuous integration, testing, and delivery across engineering teams.

What we are looking for:

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.

• 3+ years of experience in software configuration management, DevOps, or release engineering roles.

• Strong hands-on experience with source control systems (e.g., Git), CI/CD tools, and scripting (e.g., Shell, Python, PowerShell).

• Deep understanding of build tools (e.g., Maven, Gradle, MSBuild) and deployment processes in cloud or hybrid environments.

• Experience designing and maintaining automated pipelines in CI/CD environments.

• Strong problem-solving and communication skills with attention to detail and process rigor.

Preferred:

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).

• Familiarity with containerization tools like Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.

• Understanding of compliance standards (e.g., SOX, ISO, or FedRAMP) and secure software delivery principles.
