AI DevOps Engineer
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
