OverviewThe Engineering Systems Engineer, Azure DevOps is the hands-on technical owner of Azure DevOps across the Engineering organization - the project and organization structure, boards, work item process, and access model that every engineer depends on every day, including the integration points that connect Azure DevOps to our GitHub-hosted repos (our source code lives in GitHub, not Azure Repos). Pipeline authoring and CI/CD ownership sit with the engineering teams that build them; this role owns everything else about how Azure DevOps is organized, governed, and accessed. This individual contributor owns Azure DevOps administration, governance, and continuous improvement end-to-end, and is the organization's go-to expert when Azure DevOps issues need to be diagnosed and resolved with authority.
This engineer is a proactive platform operator who identifies configuration drift and fragmented workflows before they become embedded patterns, closes governance gaps before they accumulate into technical debt, and automates manual administration work before it creates toil. When a team asks for a workaround, this person diagnoses the actual problem behind the request rather than bolting on a quick fix that adds to the fragmentation.
Beyond Azure DevOps, this role also supports the broader Engineering Systems platform portfolio - including LaunchDarkly feature flag operations, Flyway database migration standards, AI-assisted development tools like Cursor and Claude Code, and other tools the team takes on as needed - working alongside teammates who own those platforms and building the working knowledge needed to contribute to cross-platform initiatives. Azure DevOps ownership is the primary responsibility in this role; the rest of the portfolio is secondary and grows with tenure, and the specific list of "other tools" is expected to change over time.
This engineer leverages AI throughout their own workflow - using it to accelerate Azure DevOps platform analysis, generate automation scripts, produce enablement documentation, and surface insights from platform data that would take hours to find manually.
Starting base pay for this role is between $100,000 and $122,000. The actual base pay is dependent upon many factors, such as transferable skills, work experience, business needs, training, location, and market demands. The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. This role will be eligible for a bonus as well as competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits, wellness reimbursement, life insurance, and a 401(k) with company match. We offer vacation and sick leave benefits (under a flexible time off policy in most states).
Responsibilities- Builds and maintains internal enablement resources - ADO configuration guides, workflow standards references, governance how-tos, and onboarding materials - that empower Engineering teams to work within established standards correctly and independently, reducing the volume of repetitive support requests.
- Maintains accurate, current platform configuration documentation and standards repositories - ensuring governance requirements, workflow patterns, and access policies are clearly documented and accessible to the Engineering organization.
- Coordinates the onboarding standards experience for new Engineers - maintaining environment setup guides, tooling provisioning checklists, and standards orientation materials that are current, complete, and effective enough to be executed without handholding.
- Tracks platform health, adoption metrics, support request trends, and standards compliance across administered systems - maintaining the operational data the Engineering Systems Manager needs to report accurately to the Director of Engineering Systems and to make informed investment decisions.
Qualifications- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Analysis, or a related field
Engineering Systems Engineer, Azure DevOps - Required Qualifications:
- 2-4 years of hands-on Azure DevOps administration experience - including project configuration, access control governance, and multi-team organizational structures - with Azure DevOps as a primary, hands-on responsibility, not just usage as an end user.
- Deep hands-on experience administering Azure DevOps - including project/org configuration, access control and permission models, and board/area path structure - at a depth sufficient to independently resolve platform configuration issues and act as an internal escalation point.
- Strong scripting and automation skills - proficiency with PowerShell and/or REST APIs, and the ability to write reliable, maintainable automation scripts that other engineers can understand and modify.
- Working knowledge of Git branching strategies, and familiarity with how Azure DevOps Boards and access controls connect to GitHub-hosted repositories - repository links, GitHub Apps/OAuth connections, branch policies, and status checks. Our source code lives in GitHub, not Azure Repos, so comfort bridging the two is important. Hands-on pipeline/YAML authoring is not required - pipelines are owned by the engineering teams themselves.
- Demonstrated ability to diagnose the root cause behind a workflow request rather than implementing a band-aid fix - comfort proposing a better solution instead of the workaround that was asked for.
- Experience managing access controls and user provisioning across engineering platforms with an understanding of least-privilege principles and compliance evidence requirements.
- Strong organizational discipline and attention to detail - able to manage a high-traffic platform used by every engineer in the organization, maintain configuration hygiene, and track open items without dropping anything.
- Clear written communication skills - able to produce platform documentation, enablement guides, and configuration records that are accurate and usable by engineering teams without requiring significant clarification.
Engineering Systems Engineer, Azure DevOps - Preferred Qualifications:
- Exposure to, or willingness to learn, adjacent Engineering Systems platforms - feature flag management (LaunchDarkly), database migration tooling (Flyway), AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude Code), or whatever other tools the team administers.
- Demonstrated use of AI development tools such as Cursor or Claude Code in day-to-day technical work.
Benefits- Ability to legally work in the Dominican Republic
- Strong English reading comprehension and written communication skills are required
- Associates degree or equivilant preferred
- 2-4 years of experience in an Engineering Systems Administration, Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Technical Operations role within a Software Engineering organization.
- Hands-on experience administering Azure DevOps - including project configuration, pipeline management, access control, board structure, and area path management - at a depth sufficient to independently resolve platform configuration issues.
- Experience managing feature flag platforms - LaunchDarkly strongly preferred - including flag lifecycle governance, environment management, SDK integration health, and flag hygiene practices.
- Familiarity with database migration tooling and versioning practices - Flyway experience strongly preferred -including migration script standards, CI/CD pipeline integration, and migration execution monitoring.
- Demonstrated active use of AI development tools such as Cursor or Claude Code in day-to-day technical work - including AI-assisted scripting, platform analysis, or documentation production.
- Experience managing access controls and user provisioning across engineering platforms with an understanding of least-privilege principles and compliance evidence requirements.
- Strong organizational discipline and attention to detail - able to manage multiple platform domains simultaneously, maintain configuration hygiene across all of them, and track open items without dropping anything.
- Clear written communication skills - able to produce platform documentation, enablement guides, and configuration records that are accurate and usable by engineering teams without requiring significant clarification.
