Mandatory Skills:

Skill : Github SME (L3/L4)

Certification (mandatory): GitHub Certified Administrator

We’re seeking a highly skilled and security-focused GitHub Subject Matter Expert (SME) to drive the modernization and secure consolidation of our code repositories onto the strategic GitHub Enterprise Cloud platform. This role is central to enforcing enterprise-level security standards, implementing modern identity management, and ensuring robust governance across our entire development ecosystem.

The SME will serve as the top technical authority on GitHub architecture, policy enforcement, and complex integrations, transforming our development practices to align with DevSecOps best practices.

͏

Key Responsibilities and Deliverables

The SME will lead and execute initiatives across four critical areas, directly impacting developer productivity and organizational security:

1. Enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM)

EMU Implementation: Design and implement the migration from existing Single Sign-On (SSO) to Enterprise Managed Users (EMU) to centralize user lifecycle management and enforce corporate identity standards.

IdP Integration: Serve as the technical lead for integrating GitHub Enterprise Cloud with our Identity Provider (IdP) (e.g., Azure AD/Google Workspace) for seamless SSO and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

RBAC and Policy: Define, implement, and enforce a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model founded on the principle of least privilege across all GitHub Organizations.

Token Governance: Overhaul and formalize the Personal Access Token (PAT) policy, implementing short-lived expiry dates and fine-grained permissions for both human and service accounts.

2. Repository Migration and CMDB Integration

Discovery & Migration: Identify, catalogue, and prepare all code repositories across the Woolworths Group for migration to GitHub, ensuring no code is left behind.

CMDB Synchronization: Integrate the GitHub repository catalogue with the central Configuration Management Database (CMDB), automating the synchronization of metadata (e.g., repository owner) for real-time visibility and reporting.
