What you'll do
- Build and maintain the CI/CD pipelines that turn Nexus into an installable, field-ready product across Linux and Windows
- Maintain and harden the software supply chain, including dependency scanning and package security
- Own the Windows installer and service orchestration, and help developers debug platform-specific issues: permissions, firewalls, services, "works on my machine"
- Secure the software update server, the one online touchpoint in an otherwise offline system, and keep telemetry from the field reliable without leaking sensitive data
- Harden APIs and authentication on the surfaces that face the outside world
- Maintain and gradually take over on-prem infrastructure: physical servers, backups, and disaster recovery, as we move away from renting machines in the cloud
- Build small internal tools, mostly in Python, Rust and shell or PowerShell scripts: installers, updaters, and the occasional internal or customer-facing web app
- Support incident response when things break in production, and help build the monitoring that catches problems before customers do
- Write down what you learn, so the next person doesn't have to debug the same thing twice
What we're looking for
- Solid experience with CI/CD pipelines and build automation
- Comfort working across both Linux and Windows, with the ability to actually debug problems on either, not just deploy to them
- Experience with infrastructure as code (Ansible, OpenTofu, or similar)
- A security mindset: hardening, secure defaults, and attack surface are just part of how you build things, not an afterthought
- Enough scripting or programming ability to read and contribute to Python, Rust, or shell scripts
- A level head under pressure; can prioritise and stay steady when a few things break at once
Nice to have
- Experience with on-prem, bare-metal or virtualized infrastructure, not just cloud consoles
- Familiarity with Docker
- Exposure to dependency and package scanning tools such as Sonatype
- An interest in platform or infrastructure engineering as its own discipline
- Ability to build in-house tooling where needed and integrate vendor solutions where they fit
