Environment Consistency & Observability:

  • Standardize infrastructure configuration across Dev, QA, and Production environments; codify baseline configurations.
  • Build dashboards, metrics, and actionable alerts for deployment of pipeline health and runtime diagnostics using Application Insights and Azure Monitor.
  • Ensure deployment practices align with strict security and governance frameworks.

 

Azure Resource Engineering & Governance:

  • Deploy, manage, and configure Azure services including App Services, Function Apps, API Management (APIM), and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
  • Enforce role-based access control (RBAC), Entra ID Single Sign-On (SSO), and least-privilege identity principles.
  • Architect resilient, fault-tolerant cloud solutions and coordinate technical change control processes.

 

Production Support, Compliance & Cost Awareness:

  • Perform root-cause analysis and incident triage for production issues using Log Analytics.
  • Integrate compliance and data security practices (e.g., PCI DSS standards) into CI/CD workflows and audit logging.
  • Monitor cloud consumption patterns, provide cost optimization recommendations, and align operations with budget parameters.
  • Collaborate with enterprise architects, database administrators, and software development teams on secure system integration.

 

Qualifications

  • Extensive hands-on experience building and administering CI/CD pipelines within Azure DevOps using both YAML and Classic editors.
  • Proven background in Azure application deployment engineering across services such as App Services, Function Apps, Containerized apps, and API gateways.
  • Demonstrated experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.
  • Strong scripting and automation skills utilizing PowerShell and/or Python.
  • Production experience integrating Azure Key Vault, Managed Identities, and RBAC into automation workflows.
  • Experience integrating automated SQL/database deployments (DACPAC, SQLCMD) into release pipelines.
  • Deep knowledge of logging, monitoring, and observability tools, including Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics.

 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience designing CI/CD standards, pipeline guardrails, or governance frameworks for microservice architectures.
  • Hands-on container orchestration experience with Docker and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including container registry integrations.
  • Experience implementing automated governance policies using Azure Policy.
  • Familiarity with PCI DSS or comparable enterprise compliance frameworks.
  • Active Microsoft Azure certifications (e.g., AZ-104, AZ-400, or AZ-305).
