AI DevOps Engineer

Job description

EU Remote | B2B

About the project

We are building an end-to-end AI agent workflow connecting Atlassian Rovo with GitLab Duo.

The goal is to create a working prototype that connects agile planning with software development through AI-powered automation, with a clearly defined Jira-to-GitLab integration point and a concept for scaling the solution further.

Atlassian Rovo supports the planning stage by collecting requirements, using knowledge from Jira and Confluence, and creating high-quality User Stories with Acceptance Criteria.

Once a User Story is ready, the workflow is handed over to GitLab Duo, where AI supports the software development process — from generating a technical specification to creating the initial code structure, tests, and Merge Request.

Your role

- Design and implement AI-driven development and DevOps workflows

- Develop the integration between Jira / Atlassian Rovo and GitLab

- Build automation around GitLab repositories, branches, and Merge Requests

- Enable the transformation of Jira User Stories into technical specifications

- Automate Git branch and initial code structure creation

- Support AI-assisted code and test generation

- Automate Merge Request creation and preparation

- Define and implement the technical handoff between Jira and GitLab

- Develop automation and integration components using Python

- Work with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations

- Integrate AI capabilities into existing software development and DevOps processes

- Contribute to the design of a scalable solution beyond the initial prototype

What we’re looking for

- Experience as a DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Automation Engineer, Developer Experience Engineer, or in a similar technical role

- Strong hands-on experience with GitLab, including CI/CD, repositories, branches, and Merge Requests

- Strong understanding of CI/CD, Git workflows, and modern software development processes

- Strong hands-on Python experience, particularly for automation and integrations

- Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations

- Good understanding of Generative AI, LLMs, AI agents, and AI-driven automation

- Experience with Jira, Confluence, or other Atlassian products

- Ability to integrate automation and AI capabilities into existing technical workflows

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

- English — B2
