Role Summary:

 

This role encompasses creating and maintaining scalable, reliable, and highly automated platforms for supporting development and operational activities. The candidate will work at the intersection of software development, operations, and cloud computing, using Azure as a key foundation to deliver a best-in-class developer and operational experience.

The role's primary focus is to enable development and DevOps teams by building shared application and infrastructure platforms, ensuring security, scalability, and standardization across the organization

Key Responsibilities:

 

·       Platform Development and Maintenance: Design, implement, and maintain a shared platform that provides development teams with self-service capabilities for infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD, monitoring, and other common needs.

 

·       Environment Deployment Management: Manage infrastructure and deployments across Production and non-Production environments by using scalable and automated processes. Ensure that deployments are predictable, reliable, and error-free.

 

·       Developer Experience Optimization: Work closely with software development teams to understand their workflows, challenges, and goals, creating tools and processes that improve productivity and reduce friction in the developer lifecycle. Standardize tooling and processes across teams for consistency and reliability.

 

·       Automation and Process Improvement: Drive the automation of infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment pipelines using tools such as Azure DevOps, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and scripting languages. Focus on minimizing manual intervention.

 

·       Security and Compliance by Design: Integrate security and compliance requirements into platform solutions from the outset. Collaborate with security teams to implement processes and tools that ensure systems remain secure and adhere to internal and external standards.

 

·       Observability and Monitoring: Establish best practices and tooling for observability, including monitoring, logging, and tracing, to provide full visibility into both the performance and operational status of the platform. Ensure systems are highly available and resilient.

 

·       Collaboration and Enablement: Act as the bridge between software development and operations teams, fostering a culture of collaboration. Provide education and documentation to enable teams to make effective use of the platform. Deliver reusable templates, libraries, and tools to simplify engineering workflows.

 

·       Lifecycle Management and Continuous Improvement: Continuously evaluate the platform for improvement opportunities based on evolving development team and organizational requirements. Introduce innovations that improve platform reliability, scalability, and usability.

 

·       Problem Identification and Resolution: Engineer solutions to address technical challenges that arise with infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and application operations, collaborating across teams to troubleshoot and implement permanent fixes.

 

Required Skills & Experience:

·       5+ years of relevant experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Engineering roles with proven knowledge of Azure.

·       Advanced knowledge of Azure services (App Services, Networking, Functions, Storage, Security features like Azure AD, and Key Vault).

·       Expertise with ARM templates, Bicep, and Terraform for automated infrastructure provisioning.

·       Ability to design and implement Azure service architecture that balances scalability, reliability, security, and cost.

·       Deep understanding of Infrastructure as Code principles with tools like Terraform (preferred), ARM/Bicep, or Ansible.

·       Proficient in automation scripting using PowerShell, Python, or Bash.

·       Advanced experience managing CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or equivalent tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.

·       Experience designing self-service platforms that empower developers to independently provision infrastructure and deploy code using developer tools.

·       Strong orientation towards standardization, modularization, and reusability of platform components.

·       Expertise in designing resilient systems with automated failover and disaster recovery solutions.

·       Experience with monitoring and observability platforms (e.g., Azure Monitor, ELK, Prometheus/Grafana, or Datadog) for actionable system insights.

·       Experience embedding policies, security measures, and compliance checks into platform workflows (e.g., using Azure Policy, Azure Security Center, or similar tools).

·       Understanding of role-based access control (RBAC) and governance frameworks for large-scale enterprise environments.

·       Ability to look at systems holistically, identifying bottlenecks and architecting for scalability and performance.

·       Strong understanding of non-functional testing disciplines like performance, security, availability, and compliance testing.

·       Track record of building and scaling platforms in a high-growth and/or business critical environment with a focus on developer experience.

·       Experience of supporting, manging and troubleshooting web application tech stacks running on cloud native platforms.

·       Experience in medium to large-scale cloud infrastructures with knowledge of high availability, disaster recovery strategies, and distributed systems.

·       Excellent collaboration skills, with an emphasis on enabling team success and shared accountability across development and operations teams.

·       Ability to document, present, and train development teams on platform capabilities.
