AI DevOps Engineer

| GitLab Duo / Python / Atlassian / GenAI  
EU Remote | B2B

About the project:

We are building an end-to-end AI agent workflow connecting Atlassian Rovo with GitLab Duo. 

The goal is to create a working prototype that connects agile planning with software development through AI-powered automation, with a clearly defined Jira-to-GitLab integration point and a concept for scaling the solution further. Atlassian Rovo supports the planning stage by collecting requirements, using knowledge from Jira and Confluence, and creating high-quality User Stories with Acceptance Criteria. Once a User Story is ready, the workflow is handed over to GitLab Duo, where AI supports the software development process — from generating a technical specification to creating the initial code structure, tests, and Merge Request.

Your role:

-Design and implement AI-driven development and DevOps workflows.

-Develop the integration between Jira / Atlassian Rovo and GitLab.

-Build automation around GitLab repositories, branches, and Merge Requests.

-Enable the transformation of Jira User Stories into technical specifications.

-Automate Git branch and initial code structure creation.

-Support AI-assisted code and test generation.

-Automate Merge Request creation and preparation.

-Define and implement the technical handoff between Jira and GitLab.

-Develop automation and integration components using Python.

-Work with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations.

-Integrate AI capabilities into existing software development and DevOps processes.

-Contribute to the design of a scalable solution beyond the initial prototype.

What we’re looking for:

-Experience as a DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Automation Engineer, Developer Experience Engineer, or in a similar technical role.

-Strong hands-on experience with GitLab, including CI/CD, repositories, branches, and Merge Requests.

-Strong understanding of CI/CD, Git workflows, and modern software development processes.

-Strong hands-on Python experience, particularly for automation and integrations.

-Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations.

Good understanding of Generative AI, LLMs, AI agents, and AI-driven automation.

-Experience with Jira, Confluence, or other Atlassian products.

Ability to integrate automation and AI capabilities into existing technical workflows.

-Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

-English - B2.

Nice to have:

-Experience with GitLab Duo or similar AI coding/development assistants.

-Experience with Atlassian Rovo.

-Experience building AI agents or agentic workflows.

-Experience with MCP, LLM APIs, or AI automation.

-Experience integrating GitLab with external systems.

-Experience with TypeScript and/or Java.

-Knowledge of cloud platforms and infrastructure automation.

What we offer:

-Fully remote work within the EU.

-Opportunity to work on an innovative GenAI + DevOps project.

-Hands-on work with GitLab Duo and Atlassian Rovo capabilities.

-Opportunity to build an end-to-end AI-driven software development workflow.

-Opportunity to contribute to a prototype with potential for further scaling.
