About The Position

We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own and modernize how we build, ship, and run software on Azure. You'll have real influence over our CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and reliability practices. You'll work directly with engineering, security, and leadership, with autonomy to fix what's slowing teams down.

Requirements

6+ years in DevOps, platform, or cloud infrastructure engineering.
Deep hands-on Azure experience (compute, networking, identity, storage, security).
A track record of building and owning CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar).

Nice To Haves

Releases are routine and low-risk, with measurably fewer deployment and environment issues.
Infrastructure is defined in code and reproducible.
The platform handles peak periods without issue.
Incidents are caught early, escalated cleanly, and don't repeat.

Responsibilities

Own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines, making releases faster, safer, and more automated.
Drive Infrastructure as Code adoption (Terraform/Bicep) and environment consistency from dev to production.
Partner with developers to remove friction in builds, testing, and deployment.
Stand up visibility into build, release, and deployment metrics (e.g., DORA).
Operate our Azure environment across networking, identity, access control, and security.
Lead reliability, performance, and scalability improvements, including readiness for seasonal peak demand.
Drive cost optimization, right-sizing, and capacity planning.
Serve as the technical lead with our managed service provider (NOC/SOC) on monitoring, alerting, and incident response.
Shape escalation paths and lead incident reviews, root-cause analysis, and preventive fixes.
Document platform standards, configurations, and runbooks.
