Senior DevOps Engineer, Application Reliability
About The Position
⢠We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer, Application Reliability to own and evolve the reliability, observability, and performance of our Azure-based application ecosystem. ⢠This role sits between platform engineering and application development, focusing on application-level reliability rather than traditional infrastructure SRE. Youâll partner closely with engineering teams to ensure our systems are observable, resilient, and safe to deployâespecially as we accelerate delivery through AI-assisted development and modern deployment practices. ⢠If you enjoy debugging real production issues, improving developer confidence through strong observability, and preventing incidents before they happen, this role is built for you.

- Strong experience with Azure App Services, Application Insights, and Azure Monitor.
- Ability to read, understand, and debug .NET/C# and Angular code.
- Experience with incident response, on-call operations, and RCA writing.
- Comfort operating in fast-moving environments with increasing deployment velocity.
Nice To Haves
- Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, or Dynatrace
- Azure Front Door, CDN, Function Apps, WebJobs
- Service Bus, Event Hub, or distributed messaging
- Additional Azure certifications
Responsibilities
- Design and implement end-to-end observability for Azure App Services using Application Insights, Azure Monitor, and distributed tracing.
- Build and maintain actionable dashboards that surface application health, performance bottlenecks, and reliability risks.
- Analyze logs, metrics, and traces to proactively identify issues and reduce MTTD / MTTR.
- Partner with developers to instrument applications correctly and improve runtime visibility.
- Serve as a subject-matter expert on Azure App Service architecture, scaling, and performance tuning.
- Debug production issues at the application level, including C#, .NET, Angular, and SQL-related problems.
- Use tools such as Diagnose and Troubleshoot, Kudu, and App Service diagnostics to resolve complex issues.
- Automate monitoring, alerting, and common remediation workflows using PowerShell and Azure tooling.
- Reduce operational toil through better tooling, alert quality, and self-service diagnostics.
- Support safe daytime deployments, incremental rollouts, and environment stability.
- Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident response for application reliability issues.
- Write clear, high-quality root cause analyses (RCAs) focused on prevention, not blame.
- Continuously improve reliability patterns as delivery velocity increases.
- Act as a reliability partner to development teamsânot a gatekeeper.
- Document best practices for monitoring, debugging, and deployment safety.
- Help lay the observability foundation required for AI-accelerated development workflows (BMAD).
