Job Description

If you love to design scalable fault-tolerant systems that can run efficiently with high

performance and are eager to learn new technologies and develop new skills, then we have a

great opportunity for you: join our family and work closely with other talented engineers

to deliver solutions that delight our customers every day!

As a DevOps Engineer III, you will design, develop & maintain E2E automated provisioning &

deployment systems for internal solutions. You will also partner with your engineering team to

ensure these automation pipelines are integrated into our standard CI/CD system. You will

also partner with the Solution Automation team collaborating to bring test automation to the

deployment automation pipeline.

With the variety of environments, platforms, technologies & languages, you must be comfortable

working in both Windows & Linux environments, including Python, PowerShell, & bash scripting,

and public cloud environments in Azure.

Responsibilities

• Promote and evangelize Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) design thinking every day

• Designing, building, and managing cloud infrastructure using Azure services. Implementing

Infrastructure-as-Code practices with tools like Terraform or Ansible to automate the

provisioning and configuration of resources.

• Working with container technologies like Docker and container orchestration platforms like

Azure Container Apps (ACA) or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Managing and scaling

containerized applications using Azure services like Azure Container Registry (ACR).

• Creating and deploying resilient cloud-native applications leveraging Azure App Service for

web hosting, Azure WebJobs, and Azure Functions for compute while achieving high

availability.

• Employing IaC tools like Terraform or Bicep to define and deploy infrastructure resources in

a declarative and version-controlled manner. Automating the creation and configuration of

Azure resources using infrastructure templates.

• Implementing monitoring and logging solutions using Azure Monitor, Azure Application

Insights, Prometheus, and Grafana to gain visibility into system performance, resource

utilization, and application logs. Configuring alarms and alerts to proactively detect and

respond to issues.

• Implementing strategies for disaster recovery and high availability using Azure services like

Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, Geo-Redundant Storage or multi-region deployments.

• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate the build, test, and deployment

processes. This involves setting up and configuring tools like Bitbucket Pipelines and Azure

DevOps, SonarCloud and integrating them with version control systems and other

development tools.

• Managing and monitoring Azure costs, tagging resources, creating policies, and

implementing cost monitoring strategies with a FinOps mindset

• Establish and maintain consistent configurations across various environments, including

development, testing, and production. Use tools like Ansible, Chef to automate configuration

management and ensure reproducibility.

• Coordinate and manage software releases, including version control, release notes, and

deployment strategies. Facilitate smooth and reliable deployments, minimize downtime, and

rollback changes if necessary.

• Develop/administer source code management policies and build definitions for all supported

products and maintain relationships with the associated development teams to pursue

continuous improvements for both

• Take part in the implementation of a full dev-to-deploy CI/CD, including full commit stage

static analysis, security analysis, unit test coverage, automated deployment, post-deploy

functional automation testing (BDD-based), performance testing and the automated gate

criteria which pushes releases through the pipeline all the way to production staging

• Serve as an administrator for DevOps-managed tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, Confluence

and Bitbucket, providing user support as needed and working to reduce future support tasks

via improved automation and training

• Continuously increase knowledge of our systems and solution stacks through active study,

research & experimentation, and contribute to team knowledgebase through discussion and

documentation
