Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain Azure DevOps pipelines and supporting automation for application builds, releases, deployments, testing, validation, and related delivery activities.
• Expand effective use of Azure Repos/Git for source control, version management, branching, pull requests, code reviews, tagging, and management of automation and deployable artifacts.
• Develop reusable Azure Pipelines templates, tasks, scripts, variables, and deployment patterns for consistent use across teams and releases.
• Design and implement DevSecOps and quality stage gates that control progression through build, test, release, and deployment workflows.
• Configure pipelines to halt or prevent promotion when required automated tests, security checks, validations, or other release criteria fail.
• Integrate automated functional, regression, integration, and other applicable testing into Azure Pipelines and use test results as release and deployment decision points.
• Integrate security scanning and validation into delivery workflows, including vulnerability, static-analysis, dependency, or artifact scanning and other approved DevSecOps controls.
• Connect Azure Pipelines with application configuration-management, migration, testing, security, release-management, and deployment tools.
• Develop scripts, APIs, service hooks, webhooks, and utilities using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or other appropriate technologies to automate software delivery workflows.
• Automate repeatable release activities, including validation, packaging, approvals, migrations, deployments, notifications, evidence collection, and post-deployment verification.
• Integrate Azure DevOps Boards with development and release workflows to improve traceability between features, user stories, defects, source changes, pull requests, builds, tests, releases, and deployments.
• Develop automated updates and notifications communicating build, test, security, migration, deployment, and release status through Azure DevOps and other approved collaboration mechanisms.
• Use Azure DevOps REST APIs, service hooks, pipeline APIs, and related integration capabilities to connect Boards, Repos, Pipelines, testing tools, security tools, and external delivery platforms.
