Own and improve the systems that build GHES operating system images, containers, and appliance artifacts across platform, infrastructure, and application layers
Design, maintain, and evolve the release pipelines that generate, validate, and certify packages for GHES customer delivery
Build and operate integration test environments for GHES, ensuring they are reliable, representative, and scalable for continuous validation
Drive CI quality by improving test execution, signal reliability, issue detection, triage, and partnership with feature teams to resolve failures
Enable publication and distribution of GHES artifacts to Azure, AWS, and GCP for customer consumption
Partner with engineers across platform, infra, release, and product teams to improve release readiness, debugging, and root-cause analysis
Improve the safety, repeatability, observability, and compliance of release and certification workflows
Lead technical investments that reduce release friction, improve engineering velocity, and increase confidence in shipped builds
Contribute across the end-to-end GHES release lifecycle, from build and package generation through validation, certification, and customer delivery
Provide operational support for release infrastructure and lead investigation and resolution of critical issues impacting build, test, certification, or package delivery
