Senior DevOps / CI-CD Infrastructure Engineer,Jenkins Expert

Project Overview
The goal of this role is to sustainably relieve development teams by taking responsibility for the operation and continuous improvement of the existing Jenkins-based CI/CD infrastructure.

Currently, the Jenkins CI/CD environment is maintained alongside daily development work and now needs to be professionalized, consolidated, and set up in a future-proof way.

The project focuses on building a stable, scalable, and secure Jenkins CI/CD setup that supports multiple development teams and complex software ecosystems, including firmware, FPGA-related software, and PC-based tools.
