• Configure and maintain web.config and server-specific application settings
• Implement zero-downtime / near-zero-downtime IIS deployments using blue-green or side-by-side deployment strategies
• Work with ARR/load balancers, health checks and rollback mechanisms
• Automate Windows/IIS server configuration using PowerShell, WinRM, Web Deploy (MSDeploy) or DSC
• Implement a build-once, deploy-anywhere model using common versioned artifacts
• Manage on-premises secrets and deployment configuration
• Support SQL Server and PostgreSQL migration/deployment gates
• Plan and execute migration from on-prem IIS to Azure App Service
• Support parity testing, DNS/traffic cutover and rollback during Azure migration
• Monitor, troubleshoot and optimize application/platform deployments

Must-Have Experience

• 6+ years of DevOps / Platform Engineering experience
• 3+ years deploying .NET applications to Windows Server/IIS through automated CI/CD
• Strong hands-on IIS administration
• Experience with IIS App Pools, bindings, SSL certificates, URL Rewrite/ARR
• Strong understanding of ASP.NET Core Hosting Bundle

Interview Focus

Candidates should be prepared to discuss a real-world scenario:

How would you design a CI/CD pipeline that deploys an application to 3 IIS servers behind a load balancer with zero downtime, health checks, and a reliable rollback path?

We are specifically looking for candidates with hands-on IIS + Windows Server + Azure experience, not purely cloud/Kubernetes-focused DevOps profiles.
