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).
