  • Partner with Security & Infrastructure teams to ensure alignment with firm standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Implement secure DevOps practices, including least-privilege access, artifact governance, and pipeline hardening.

Developer Enablement & Support

  • Provide Tier 2/Tier 3 support for Azure DevOps and GitHub issues, including pipelines, builds, deployments, and tooling errors.
  • Create documentation, runbooks, onboarding guides, and knowledge articles for consistent tool adoption.
  • Support teams migrating/converting from legacy tooling into Azure DevOps or GitHub Enterprise.
  • Build and maintain scripts, automations, and utilities using PowerShell, CLI, and REST APIs.
  • Standardize reusable pipeline templates and YAML libraries for consistent builds and deployments.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline developer workflows, reduce manual steps, and improve productivity.
  • Optimize performance of builds, pipelines, agent pools, and repository structures
  • Work closely with engineering, QA, information security, infrastructure, and application teams to support delivery workflows.
  • Partner with the Agile Delivery Leads to align tooling capabilities with delivery goals and roadmaps.
  • Collaborate with cloud, network, and security teams on connectivity, authentication, and environment configuration.
  • Coordinate with vendors and Microsoft support as needed for escalations and troubleshooting.

Monitoring, Maintenance & Reporting
  • Monitor platform health, pipeline performance, agent utilization, and repository status.
  • Maintain logs, audit trails, and operational documentation for compliance and platform management.

  • Knowledge of build automation for .NET, Node.js, SPFx, Power Platform, or similar stacks.
  • Understanding of secure DevOps principles, software supply chain security, and secrets management.

Experience:
  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in DevOps administration, system administration, cloud operations, or engineering support.
  • Hands-on experience administering Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Enterprise in an enterprise environment.
  • Experience supporting development teams using CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and automation tools.
  • Microsoft certifications (AZ-400, AZ-104, AZ-305, SC-300).
