  • Administer and optimize artifact repositories (e.g., JFrog Artifactory), ensuring proper structure, retention, and traceability.
  • Partner with engineering and security teams to improve release governance, branching strategies, and deployment reliability.
  • Troubleshoot complex build failures and cross-service dependency issues across distributed systems.
  • Develop documentation, runbooks, and enablement materials to drive adoption of standardized CI/CD practices.
