• Automate build processes, unit tests, integration tests, and deployment processes.
• Implement advanced deployment strategies (e.g., blue/green deployments, canary releases).
• Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to proactively identify and address performance issues, errors, and security threats.
• Use tools like Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar to collect and analyse metrics, logs, and traces.
• Configure alerts and notifications to ensure timely responses to critical events.

Security & Compliance:

• Implement security best practices and controls within the platform infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
• Ensure compliance with relevant security standards and regulations.
• Implement security scanning and vulnerability management processes.

Documentation & Support:

• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for the platform, including API documentation, user guides, and troubleshooting guides.
• Provide support to users of the platform.
• Collaborate closely with data scientists, economists, developers, and other stakeholders to understand their needs and gather feedback on the platform.
• Communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• 5+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps engineering, or a related role.
• Strong experience with Azure cloud platform and services.
• Extensive experience with IaC tools like Terraform, ARM templates, or Bicep.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD principles and experience with CI/CD tools like Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.
• Strong experience with containerisation technologies like Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes (or AKS).
• Experience with monitoring and logging tools.
• Scripting skills in PowerShell, Bash, YAML and Python. Good understanding of networking concepts and security best practices.
• Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
