Join a fast-growing startup as a CI/CD Engineer in a fully onsite role located in downtown Dallas, working five days a week. This organization is building modern technology solutions and looking for a hands-on engineer to own and manage the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery environment. You'll design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines and tooling while working closely with engineering, QA, and product teams across the US and India to ensure development and deployment processes are efficient, reliable, and secure. This is an opportunity to make a direct impact by building scalable automation pipelines, shaping quality practices, and ensuring smooth delivery of products to customers. Over time, you will implement, manage, and scale the CI/CD environment as the platform and team grow.

This is an exceptional opportunity to own and shape the CI/CD function in a growing startup where your contributions will have immediate and visible impact. You'll have the autonomy to build scalable automation pipelines from the ground up, making critical decisions about tooling, processes, and best practices.
