Sr. C++ Developer/Architect with a DevOps mindset

Fully Remote

Salary Range – $100K/year

Will you enjoy being part of a fully remote “Tiger Team” set to transform a software department (3000 people) quality and development processes?

For one of our largest clients (100K+ people worldwide, and 3000 software developers), we are building a tiger team to join the company as subject matter experts and inject software development best practices. The tiger team will report to the company’s “Head of Software Transformation“.

As a part of the tiger team, you will be studying existing projects and flows and implementing software development best practices:

• Best in bread Git flows – minimizing the number of active branches across the company and maximizing re-use
• Setting up  quality gates that ensure that code delivered meets or exceeds the desired quality bar
• Jenkins based CICD pipelines
• Unit-testing infrastructure and code-coverage
• Static code-analysis

This is a six-month approved project that will most likely to turn into a full-time long-term one.

You will 🗺️

• Review current branching scheme across our different projects
  • We know teams are copying their entire repository over when starting a new project – this is not good
  • Work with the various teams to create a branch consolidation plan, help them create a strategy to cater to all their customers from a single active branch
  • Enforce a no-redundant branching policy and automate this
  • Achieve a 50% reduction in the number of active branches in 2021
• Rebuild, modernize, stabilize and repair the CI/CD environment
  • CI on main branch
  • Review current status of compiler warnings and static code analysis warnings and set up a strategy to handle those (suppress vs clean-up by the engineering teams)
  • Stabilize CI/CD configuration
  • Rebuild the CI environment using modern standards, facilitate easy reporting
  • Consolidate all Jenkins phases into a coherent view
• Improve the CI/CD coverage to include testing – Unit tests and Functional tests
  • Include all existing unit test into CI/CD runs
  • Include all available automated tests into CI/CD on main and development branches
  • Complement CI environment with a CD environment on the main branch
  • Complement CI environment with a CD environment on the development branch
  • Integrate tools in CI/CD to facilitate code quality tracking and improvement
• Simplify the CI/CD environment to minimize redundant steps, branches and merges
  • Any break in CI/CD becomes the team’s highest priority to resolve
  • Additional check ins are not allowed while CI/CD is broken (automate that)
  • Move from a layered branching structure for development, task and release into an industry-standard model of development/release
