Title and Summary Lead Platform Engineer DevOps & SRE Lead – CI/CD Platforms (13+ Years) Mastercard | MSBX – DevFlow Overview MSBX (Mastercard Secure Build Experience) is transforming how more than 11,000 software engineers build, test, and deliver software across Mastercard. Our mission is to provide a secure, resilient, and frictionless software delivery ecosystem—so engineers focus on customer value, not infrastructure complexity. DevFlow is a cornerstone of this mission. It modernizes Mastercard’s CI/CD ecosystem by retiring legacy platforms, enabling cloud‑native and composable workflows, and embedding security, quality, and compliance by design. DevFlow is not just tooling—it is a productized CI/CD platform, built for enterprise scale, reliability, and developer trust. This role sits at the intersection of DevOps and SRE—owning both delivery acceleration and operational excellence for CI/CD platforms that are mission‑critical to the enterprise.

As a Lead, you will provide technical leadership and end‑to‑end ownership of Mastercard’s CI/CD platform capabilities, with a strong focus on SonarQube, Artifactory, and Bitbucket. You will act as a hands‑on platform leader—designing systems, driving standards, enabling thousands of engineers, and ensuring that CI/CD services are reliable, scalable, secure, and easy to use.

Platform & CI/CD Leadership • Lead the design, delivery, and evolution of enterprise CI/CD capabilities centered on Bitbucket source control, SonarQube quality scanning, and Artifactory artifact management. • Define and own opinionated CI/CD workflows, patterns, and guardrails that balance developer autonomy with enterprise governance. • Drive consistent adoption of code quality gates, artifact lifecycle and promotion standards, and secure build practices across engineering teams. • Treat CI/CD as a product—prioritizing developer experience, stability, and long‑term sustainability. DevOps & Automation • Design and maintain shared pipeline components, templates, and automation frameworks that reduce duplication and improve consistency. • Automate build, operate, and run aspects of the CI/CD ecosystem—minimizing manual intervention and operational risk. • Enable scalable, repeatable CI/CD execution using ephemeral and containerized build environments. SRE & Operational Ownership • Own the operational health of assigned CI/CD platforms, including: ○ Reliability and availability ○ Monitoring, alerting, and observability ○ Risk identification and remediation ○ Continuous improvement and resilience • Partner on incident response, root cause analysis, and blameless postmortems, ensuring learnings are fed back into platform design. • Improve feedback loops so that failures surface early, clearly, and actionably for engineering teams. Technical Leadership & Collaboration • Participate in prioritization and roadmap discussions with Product and Program stakeholders, translating goals into executable technical plans. • Lead pragmatic design and trade‑off discussions—balancing speed, quality, reliability, and cost. • Review code, pipeline changes, and automation contributed by others, ensuring alignment to standards and best practices. • Mentor and guide engineers through hands‑on technical leadership, design reviews, and day‑to‑day problem solving. • Contribute reusable patterns, libraries, and practices
