• A suite of deployment and release scripts/templates that replace the majority of existing code.

• Recommendations for Azure resource optimization with estimated cost savings.

• Implementation of prioritized pipeline improvements.

• Comprehensive documentation and best practice guidelines.

• Knowledge transfer sessions for internal technical staff.

What you must have:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS/TFS) and Azure cloud services.

• Strong understanding of containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, AKS).

• Experience with key Azure services (App Services, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Azure SQL, Entra ID).

• Knowledge of security best practices and pipeline security within controlled environments.

• Experience modernizing legacy DevOps processes.

• Familiarity with Azure monitoring and logging solutions (Application Insights, Log Analytics).

• Experience working within strictly controlled enterprise subscriptions (e.g., governance, compliance, and security policies).

Nice to have:

• Microsoft certifications (Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, Azure Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator).

• Experience with YAML-based and JSON-basedpipeline definitions.

• Familiarity with release management (blue/green deployments, canary releases).

• Database deployment automation experience.

• Knowledge of Azure cost management and multi-environment deployments.

• Experience navigating compliance requirements and security protocols within large organizations.
