- Manage source code repositories, branching strategies, version control, and code integration using Git and GitHub.

- Configure and maintain build environments for Windows and Linux-based applications.

- Work with Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) to compile, package, and validate application builds where applicable.

- Manage application deployment configurations and support deployments to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).

- Develop automation scripts using Bash, PowerShell, Unix shell scripting, and Python to improve build efficiency.

- Troubleshoot build failures, dependency conflicts, compilation errors, and environment-related issues.

- Integrate automated unit tests, integration tests, and code quality checks into build workflows.

- Implement code quality and security validation using tools such as SonarQube, CodeQL, Dependabot, and other relevant scanning solutions.

- Monitor build execution, identify bottlenecks, and optimize build times and resource utilization.

- Maintain build dependencies, software packages, configuration files, and artifact versioning.

- Establish and enforce build standards, naming conventions, versioning practices, and release documentation.

- Collaborate with developers and QA engineers to resolve integration issues and improve build stability.

- Maintain documentation for build procedures, troubleshooting steps, configuration standards, and release processes.

- Support release planning, effort estimation, change management, and delivery coordination.

- Identify opportunities to improve automation, reliability, repeatability, and maintainability of build processes.

- Work within Agile/Scrum teams and follow established software development lifecycle practices.

Required Skills and Qualifications :

- 8+ years of experience in Build Engineering, Build and Release Engineering, Software Configuration Management, or a related field.

- Strong hands-on experience with Jenkins and GitHub Actions for automated build workflows.
