Workflow orchestration: Design and build the workflows behind self-service actions — GitHub Actions for standard workflows and Temporal for complex, long-running orchestrations — with Port.io as the common trigger.
Pipeline products: Build and maintain reusable, versioned CI/CD pipeline templates that engineering teams across the organisation consume as golden paths.
Toolchain integration: Integrate the developer portal with the delivery toolchain — GitHub, Terraform pipelines, security scanning (Wiz, Checkov, OPA), testing and cost tooling — so quality gates are embedded by default.
Catalogue automation: Automate the publication, versioning and lifecycle of catalogue items, including the contribution workflows through which other teams add capabilities to the platform.
Reliability: Own the operational quality of the orchestration layer: monitoring, error handling, retries and idempotency for platform workflows.
Engineering standards: Set and uphold standards for workflow code — review, testing, documentation — and mentor mid-level engineers across the distributed team.
Collaboration: Work day-to-day with the platform and back-end engineers in Portugal and India, and with the UK-based Solution Architect on orchestration design.
Required Experience
6+ years: in DevOps, platform or infrastructure engineering, with strong software engineering fundamentals.
CI/CD depth: Advanced, hands-on experience designing and building GitHub Actions workflows (or equivalent, with willingness to standardise on GitHub Actions) — reusable workflows, composite actions, secrets management and runner strategy.
Workflow orchestration: Experience with durable workflow engines (Temporal, or comparable such as Airflow, Step Functions, Argo Workflows) and the patterns behind reliable, long-running automation.
Infrastructure as Code: Solid working experience with Terraform and how IaC delivery integrates into pipelines.
Scripting and APIs: Strong scripting (Python, TypeScript/Node.js or Go) and experience automating against REST APIs and webhooks.
Agile distributed delivery: Experience in sprint-based, distributed teams; clear written and spoken English for daily collaboration with UK and Portugal colleagues.
Technologies & Tools
The platform is built on a modern, standardised toolchain:
Developer portal: Port.io — catalogue, blueprints and self-service actions.
