Location: Chicago, IL, 60603, USA
Duration: Long-term contract
Senior Azure DevSecOps Engineer Compliance and Immutable Cloud Platform
Must Have Skills/Attributes: ADO, Azure, GitHub, NodeJs, NoSQL, Python, Ticketing Systems, XML
Experience Desired: Building production workloads on Azure (5 yrs); Azure API Management (APIM) policies, backends, named values, developer portal, versioning (5 yrs); Immutable/append-only storage patterns (WORM blob policies, Cosmos DB change feed auditing) (5 yrs); NoSQL and CosmosDB deployment and management (5 yrs); Terraform modules, remote state, Azure Provider, CI/CD integration (5 yrs); Python and Node.js (strong coding) (5 yrs)
Preferred Certifications (Nice to Have):
• Azure Security Engineer Associate
• AWS Certified Security - Specialty
• CISSP, CCSP
Job Description
Required Experience, Knowledge & Skills:
• 5+ years building production workloads on Azure with event-driven and API-first architectures.
• Strong APIM experience: policies (inbound/outbound XML), backends, named values, developer portal, versioning.
• Experience implementing immutable/append-only storage patterns (WORM blob policies, Cosmos DB change feed auditing, or equivalent).
• Deploy and manage NoSQL and CosmosDB databases.
• Familiarity with envelope encryption patterns using Key Vault (CMK, key rotation, purge protection).
• Understanding of zero-trust network design: Private Endpoints, VNet integration, NSG/UDR patterns.
• Solid Terraform skills: modules, remote state, Azure Provider, CI/CD integration via GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
• Strong coding experience in Python and Node.js.
• Hands-on proficiency with integrated testing tools.

• Experience integrating with third-party tool APIs (GRC platforms, vulnerability scanners, ticketing systems, or similar).
Required Soft Skills:
• Effective written and verbal communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams.
We are building a cloud-native, immutable evidence platform to ingest compliance artifacts, audit evidence, and control attestations from a wide range of internal tools via APIs, store them with cryptographic integrity guarantees, and expose querying and retrieval capabilities to downstream GRC and audit workflows. The contractor will help design, build, and harden this platform on Azure in alignment with PCI-DSS, SOX, and GLBA requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
• Design and implement API ingestion pipelines via Azure API Management (APIM) with OAuth2/JWT validation, rate limiting, and schema enforcement.
• Build event-driven ingestion workflows using Azure Service Bus and Azure Functions (durable, fan-out patterns).
• Implement immutable artifact storage using Azure Blob Storage with WORM policies (time-based retention locks) and Azure Cosmos DB for tamper-evident metadata indexing.
• Architect Redis Cache for high-throughput query caching while preserving source-of-truth immutability guarantees.
• Integrate Azure Key Vault for envelope encryption of stored artifacts (customer-managed keys, automated rotation).
• Build Log Analytics Workspace telemetry pipelines covering ingestion events, access audit trails, and integrity verification logs.
• Write Terraform IaC for all infrastructure - no click-ops; all resources policy-as-code compliant.
• Implement third-party tool integrations (connector APIs) to ingest evidence artifacts from source systems.
