This role offers a unique opportunity to learn, grow, and make a significant impact on the financial services industry.

Role Overview

As a CI/CD Engineer at FIS, you will be instrumental in transitioning our Release Management practices into a state-of-the-art automated pipeline.

This is not just another DevOps role. You’ll be at the forefront of a DevOps transformation initiative, actively participating in training sessions and tracking your skill development progress. You'll also be contributing to the standardization of workflows and the consolidation of source control tools, which will provide you with a broad understanding of the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC).

A Day in the Life

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Pipeline Support: Assisting in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for both IBM iSeries/Mainframe and modern server-based initiatives.
• Tool Integration: Helping integrate mainframe workflows with modern DevOps toolchains like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps.
• Workflow Standardization: Supporting the consolidation of source control tools (moving from Rocket Aldon/Bitbucket toward GitHub) and documenting these new standards.
• Automation Execution: Executing and troubleshooting automated build and release scripts.
• Monitoring: Monitoring pipeline performance and reliability, reporting any bottlenecks or failures to the senior team.
• Documentation: Maintaining clear documentation for CI/CD solution designs, support requirements, and Steady State operating procedures.
• Continuous Learning: Actively participating in training sessions and tracking your skill development progress as part of the DevOps transformation initiative.
