- Assist with operational support: logging, monitoring, diagnostics and incident response runbooks.
DevOps & Release Management
- Contribute to CI/CD pipeline definitions and maintenance in Azure DevOps (builds, tests, packaging, deployments).
- Produce deployment artifacts and support automated deployments to test, staging, and production environments.
- Maintain deployment documentation and rollback plans.

- Practical experience with Azure DevOps: Git source control, build/release pipelines, work item and test management.
- Familiarity with Visual Studio 2022 for day-to-day development and debugging.
- Strong troubleshooting skills and experience resolving production defects and performance issues.
Preferred
- Experience with unit and integration testing frameworks and test automation.
- Handson experience with SSIS or similar ETL tooling and coordinating application-side integration with ETL processes.
- Prior experience modernizing legacy .NET Framework applications in public-sector or enterprise contexts.
- Familiarity with Windows services, scheduled tasks, or job schedulers used to run background processing.
- Experience with application logging/telemetry and operational runbooks.

Key Deliverables:
- Implemented user stories with server and UI components.
- Technical design documents, UI mapping, and runbooks for operational support.
- Database schema updates, stored procedures, and performance tuning changes.
- SSIS/ETL coordination artifacts and integration test results.
- Unit/integration test artifacts and CI pipeline results in Azure DevOps.
- Deployment artifacts, pipeline definitions, and rollback/runbook documentation.
- Status reports, defect logs, and knowledge transfer materials.
