• PowerShell scripting for Windows-based enterprise environments.
• Financial services or regulated industry experience.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain YAML-based CI/CD pipeline templates in Azure DevOps used by dozens of teams and hundreds of services.
• Design and develop internal tools, CLIs, and REST APIs that enable self-service for product development teams (e.g., automated onboarding, pipeline generation, environment provisioning).
• Write and maintain Terraform modules for Azure cloud infrastructure, including Container Apps, API Management, networking, and disaster recovery.
• Extend and integrate Datadog monitoring, build custom dashboards, automate alerting, and instrument platform telemetry using OpenTelemetry patterns.
• Help build and evolve our Internal Developer Portal (IDP) to give developers a unified view of their services, deployments, health, and documentation.
• Help legacy systems adopt modern CI/CD, Blue/Green deployments, and DR capabilities through template-driven approaches.
• Build automated compliance gates and security checks that let teams move fast without moving dangerously.
• Collaborate directly with product developers to understand workflows, reduce friction, and deliver platform capabilities that meet real needs.
• Spend the majority of your time actively designing and coding.
