Role & Responsibilities

Key responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps Services (Azure Pipelines) and Git-based workflows.
Implement and manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using ARM templates, Bicep, and/or Terraform for repeatable environment provisioning.
Containerize applications (Docker) and manage container orchestration platforms such as AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service).
Automate build, test, release, and rollback processes; integrate automated testing and quality gates into pipelines.
Monitor and improve platform reliability and observability using logging and monitoring tools (e.g., Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana).

Implement cost-optimization and governance for Azure resources (tags, policies, budgets).
Troubleshoot build/release failures, production incidents, and performance bottlenecks; perform root-cause analysis and implement permanent fixes.
Mentor developers in Git workflows, pipeline authoring, best practices for IaC, and cloud-native design.
Maintain clear documentation: runbooks, deployment playbooks, architecture diagrams, and pipeline templates.
