  • Collaborate closely with development and other architectures to enable cloud-native application delivery.
  • Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights.
  • Enforce security best practices including identity, RBAC, secrets management with Azure Key Vault, and supply chain security.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and perform root cause analysis to improve platform reliability.
  • Develop DevOps standards, reusable pipelines, and platform documentation.

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related subject matter required
  • 4-6 years of experience in DevOps, cloud engineering, or platform engineering roles.
  • Strong experience as a DevOps or Site Reliability Engineer in cloud environments.
  • Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions.
  • Strong Kubernetes experience, specifically with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and/or Bicep.
  • Experience with containerization using Docker and OCI standards.
  • Strong programming skills using Python (required), and PowerShell.
  • Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions.
  • Solid understanding of networking, security, and identity in cloud environments.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience operating platforms in financial services or regulated environments.
  • Knowledge of GitHub Advanced Security, SAST/DAST, and dependency scanning tools.
  • Experience with service mesh, ingress controllers, and Kubernetes security tooling.
  • Familiarity with Agile and DevSecOps practices.
  • C# experience is a plus.
  • Backstage experience highly desired.
