GitHub Consultant
Xebia – Hilversum, North Holland, Netherlands
At Xebia Microsoft Services we are proud to be GitHub Partner of the Year, working with Microsoft MVPs and GitHub Stars. You will help clients migrate, optimize developer workflows, and turn complex processes into automated value streams.
Responsibilities
As a GitHub Consultant you help organizations get the most out of GitHub, combining technical expertise with consultancy skills. You are a trusted advisor who helps clients embrace modern DevOps practices and make GitHub the backbone of their software delivery. Sometimes that means rolling up your sleeves to build workflows and pipelines. Other times it means translating business challenges into technical solutions and guiding teams through change. You will collaborate across teams to make sure GitHub becomes an integrated way of working rather than just a platform.
- Onboarding and configuration : guide clients on their GitHub journey, from environment setup and initial onboarding to adoption
- Pipeline implementation : build and optimize CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, including advanced setups such as AKS self-hosted runners and Azure private networking
- Migration : support complex repository and pipeline migrations, using automation and tools like GitHub Advanced Implementations (GAI) to streamline the process
- Governance and automation : enhance the platform with governance frameworks, reusable workflow templates, and onboarding processes that ensure consistency and scalability
- Collaboration with GitHub : work closely with GitHub product teams and translate new features and best practices into client solutions
- Knowledge sharing : conduct workshops, Q&A sessions, and hands‑on garage days to transfer knowledge and empower client teams
What You Will Bring
- DevOps DNA : a proven background in DevOps practices and CI/CD, with experience improving software delivery processes
- Platform experience : hands‑on experience with e.g. GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps and the curiosity to grow into GitHub expertise
- Infrastructure skills : practical knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep) and containerization with Docker and Kubernetes
- Consultancy & communication : the ability to engage with both engineers and executives, build trust with stakeholders, lead workshops, and simplify complex challenges
- Growth mindset : eagerness to learn from Microsoft MVPs, GitHub Stars, and colleagues who push the boundaries of what is possible
Your Path to Success in the First Year
- Build trust with clients by delivering high‑quality GitHub solutions that improve their developer experience.
- Collaborate on migrations and optimizations with experienced colleagues, developing the expertise to independently lead projects as your skills grow.
- Act as a trusted advisor, guiding organizations in adopting DevOps practices and scaling GitHub across teams.
- Share your expertise inside and outside Xebia, through knowledge sessions, blogs, talks, or community contributions.
Why Work for Xebia Microsoft Services
- Knowledge sharing at the core : from our weekly knowledge sharing (XKE Tuesdays) to quarterly Innovation Days where you pitch, build, and showcase your ideas.
- Broadening your expertise : €5k annual learning budget, unlimited training access, and colleagues across cloud, data, AI, and security.
- Everything under one roof : knowledge sharing, challenging projects, growth opportunities, and plenty of humor – daily.
