Full description
About the Role
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.
What You'll Do:
CI/CD & Release Engineering
- 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).
Azure Platform & Infrastructure
- 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.
Reliability & Operations
- 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.
What Success Looks Like (First Year)
- 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.
What You Bring
- 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).
