Azure DevOps Architect

We’re looking for an experienced DevOps SME to own the design, implementation, and scaling of modern CI/CD and IaC practices across mission-critical platforms. You’ll be the go-to expert for Azure, Kubernetes (AKS), Docker, Terraform, and GitHub Actions, setting standards, mentoring teams, and ensuring reliable, secure, and observable delivery pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

DevOps Architecture & Ownership

• Please share where you have defined target-state DevOps architecture spanning build, deploy, environments, and observability on Azure.

• Please share examples where you have used golden paths and reusable templates for GitHub Actions workflows and Terraform modules.

CI/CD Engineering

• Please share examples where you have implemented multiple pipelines (build, test, scan, deploy) leveraging GitHub Actions.

• Actions integrate with artifact registries and container repositories (e.g., Azure Container Registry).

• Implement gated releases, environment protections, approvals, and canary/blue-green strategies.

Infrastructure as Code

• Please share examples of Terraform usage with best-practice patterns (modules, workspaces, remote state, policy as code).

• Model and provision cloud infrastructure with Terraform using best-practice patterns, including state management and approvals.

Kubernetes Platform Engineering

• Design, deploy, and operate AKS clusters (node pools, autoscaling, networking, RBAC, secrets, ingress/egress).

• Standardize Helm charts/manifests patterns and enable progressive delivery.

Containerization

• Define Docker base images and hardening guidelines; optimize image build times and vulnerability remediation.

• Implement SBOM generation, image signing, and enforcement with admission controls.
