About The Position

BWE’s DevOps Engineer owns how software is built, tested, and released, providing a safe, repeatable delivery path for custom applications, agents, and integrations developed by the AI and Data teams. The role spans pipelines, packaging, environments, and automation in an Azure and Microsoft 365 environment within a regulated commercial real estate finance business. Changes must be recorded and supported by audit-ready evidence.

This is a builder-focused role centered on automating releases rather than performing them manually. The engineer works across development teams to establish delivery practices, integrate platforms, secure and observe pipelines, and provide Tier 3 support for the pipelines, environments, and deployment tooling they own.

Requirements

• At least 5 years in DevOps, platform engineering, or software delivery, with hands-on responsibility for production deployments.
• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for application code, not only scripts and configuration.
• Strong proficiency with Git-based workflows, including branching, pull request review, and release tagging.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code and declarative configuration management.
• Strong automation ability in Python, PowerShell, or equivalent, including building against REST APIs.
• Experience managing application environments, including secrets management and promotion between environments.
• Experience deploying to Azure or an equivalent cloud platform.
• Experience producing change and deployment records suitable for audit or compliance review.
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience.
• Must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; BWE will not sponsor applicants for immigration benefits.

Nice To Haves

• Experience helping data or AI engineering teams move prototypes into supported production services.
• Experience integrating LLM applications, agents, or MCP connectors into enterprise environments.
• Experience with Databricks, Microsoft Foundry, or comparable data and AI platforms.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration, or running automation as event-driven services.
• Experience with Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, including service principals and application registrations.
• Experience in financial services or another regulated industry.
• Certifications such as Azure DevOps Engineer Expert or equivalent.

Responsibilities

• Own the build, test, and release path for BWE’s custom applications and integrations so changes reach production on a predictable, repeatable cadence.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that lint, test, validate, and deploy application code and configuration, with automated quality gates before production.
• Package and deploy custom applications and internal tooling across environments, including versioning, rollback, and release documentation.
• Provision and maintain development, test, and production environments, including configuration, secrets management, and promotion between environments.
• Define infrastructure and platform state declaratively, keep it in version control, and deploy it through automated, peer-reviewed processes.
• Establish and maintain Git workflow standards, including branching, pull request review, and release traceability.
• Provide a delivery path for AI-developed applications, including deployment of agents, integrations, and MCP connectors into supported environments.
• Help AI and Data teams adopt source control, review, and deployment practices, and remove manual steps between working code and production.
• Integrate systems through REST APIs, webhooks, and event-driven automation so data moves between platforms without manual re-entry.
• Implement code scanning, dependency, and software supply chain controls in pipelines against standards set with Information Security.
• Instrument applications and pipelines with monitoring, alerting, and dashboards covering deployment health, failure rates, and time to recover.
• Produce change history, approval records, and deployment evidence sufficient for agency, rating agency, and client review.
• Serve as Tier 3 escalation for the pipelines, environments, and deployment tooling this role owns.
