As a Senior GitHub Enterprise Platform Engineer on the Engineering Systems Tools team, you will serve as a hands-on technical leader for the company's GitHub Enterprise ecosystem. You will be responsible for the platform's reliability, security, and usability while developing standards for repositories, branching, and code review to improve engineering velocity. Your daily work involves building automation, APIs, bots, and tools to simplify onboarding and lifecycle management. To succeed, you must possess expertise in Python or Java, REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, and infrastructure-as-code. You will also manage identity and access controls using SSO, SCIM, and RBAC while integrating GitHub with CI/CD tools like Jenkins and Artifactory. This role solves the challenge of providing a secure, scalable, and high-quality developer experience for thousands of engineers across distributed systems and cloud environments.

What you'll do

  • Manage and evolve the GitHub Enterprise platform to ensure high availability, security, and scalability for thousands of engineers.
  • Define and implement standards for repositories, branching, code reviews, and policy enforcement to improve engineering velocity.
  • Strengthen access management by implementing SSO, SCIM, and role-based controls in partnership with Identity and Security teams.
  • Build automation, APIs, bots, and tools to simplify onboarding and repository lifecycle management.
  • Improve platform reliability through monitoring, logging, alerting, and root-cause analysis for GitHub Enterprise and its databases.
  • Lead upgrades, migrations, and multi-functional improvements while providing documentation and consultation to engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering in a large-scale environment.
  • Significant hands-on experience with Git-based platforms.
  • Deep experience managing GitHub Enterprise Server and/or GitHub Enterprise Cloud at scale.
  • Strong programming or scripting skills in Python, Java, or similar languages.
  • Experience using REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, and infrastructure-as-code to automate platform operations.
  • Experience integrating GitHub with CI/CD, artifact, and quality or security tooling like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Artifactory, or SonarQube.
  • Solid understanding of identity and access management concepts including SSO, SAML, SCIM, RBAC, and least-privilege access.
  • Strong problem-solving and interpersonal skills to work across distributed systems and multi-functional teams.
