Job description

Role Overview

We are hiring an Associate DevOps Engineer (Platform Reliability & Operations) to own the reliability, release pipeline, environment lifecycle, and operational governance of our Microsoft-centric platform portfolio (Azure, Power Platform, Copilot Studio, Dataverse, Microsoft Fabric, etc.). This is a hands-on, mission-critical role that blends DevOps, cloud operations, incident response, platform administration, and continuous improvement. You will operate across Dev / UAT / PreProd / Prod environments, manage credentials and access at scale, implement secure CI/CD, and drive platform hardening and automation. The role is ideal for someone who loves troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, building robust fallback/rollback patterns, and helping teams ship safe, observable systems. This is a fresher level position with significant exposure to stakeholders, product teams, clients, and platform governance. Strong learning orientation and willingness to lead small R&D efforts are required.

Key Responsibilities

1. Platform Operations & Reliability

• Own day-to-day operational health of platform components (Azure services, Fabric, Power Platform, Dataverse, Copilot Studio).
• Monitor service health, manage alerts and SLOs, run capacity planning, and drive remediation for recurring issues.
• Implement observability (metrics, logs, traces), dashboards, and automated on-call playbooks.
• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and lead post-incident reviews with actionable follow-ups.

2. SDLC, Release & Pipeline Management

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps (or GitHub Actions where applicable), including build, test, security scans, and gated releases.
• Manage environment promotions (Dev → UAT → Pre-Prod → Prod), feature-flag strategies, blue/green and canary deployments, and rollback plans.
• Automate environment provisioning and configuration using IaC (ARM templates, Bicep, Terraform) and GitOps principles.

3. Security, Credentials & Access Management

• Own secrets and credential lifecycle using Azure Key Vault (or equivalent), rotate keys, and manage service principals and managed identities.
• Implement RBAC, conditional access, and least-privilege access models for internal teams and client tenants, coordinate with Azure AD, PIM, and security teams.
• Support compliance and audit needs (log retention, access trails) for SOC2/ISO/security assessments.

4. Platform Administration & Governance

• Administer Power Platform environments, Copilot Studio tenants, Dataverse tenancy objects, and Fabric admin centres.
• Manage tenant-level policies, data loss prevention (DLP) rules, environment provisioning guardrails, and licensing considerations.
• Define and enforce governance processes, onboarding/offboarding procedures, and tenant separation for client vs internal workloads.
• Act as escalation for complex incidents, perform deep diagnostics (application, infra, network, data pipelines), and coordinate cross-team remediation.
• Create and maintain runbooks, playbooks, and SOPs for common incidents and failover scenarios.
• Implement automated corrective actions where feasible (self-heal scripts, automated scaling, cleanup jobs).

6. Integrations & Platform Services

• Support integrations across API Management, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Event Grid, Service Bus, Synapse / Fabric data flows, and third-party SaaS connectors.
• Collaborate with engineers to design resilient integration patterns and handle data-contract changes, schema migration, and bindings.

7. Quality, Automation & Tooling

• Drive automated testing in pipelines (unit, integration, smoke, regression) and include security checks (SAST, dependency scanning).
• Implement telemetry-based release gates and rollback triggers.
• Build utilities and small automation tools to reduce manual toil and speed troubleshooting.

8. Stakeholder & Client Management

• Serve as the platform contact for product teams and client administrators - coordinate releases, permissions, and tenant configuration for clients.
• Provide regular operational reports, risk assessments, and release notes to stakeholders.
• Mentor and enable application teams on platform best practices and platform self-service.

Required Skills & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or related field - or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on experience with Azure platform services (App Services, AKS, Functions, Key Vault, Azure AD, Monitor, Resource Manager).
• Practical experience in Azure DevOps (pipelines, repos, artifacts) or GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
• Experience administering Power Platform, Dataverse, and familiarity with Copilot Studio / tenant admin concepts.
• Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash).
• Familiarity with IaC (ARM/Bicep/Terraform) and deployment automation.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, identity (Azure AD), RBAC, and secrets management.
• Experience with monitoring and observability tooling (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, Prometheus/Grafana).
• Strong troubleshooting, RCA, and incident management capabilities.
• Good written and verbal communication; comfortable with client-facing coordination.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Experience with container orchestration (AKS), Kubernetes, and container CI/CD.
• Exposure to data platform operations (Microsoft Fabric, Synapse, Data Factory).
• Knowledge of security scanning tools, SAST/DAST, and compliance frameworks (SOC2/ISO27001).
• Experience with service-mesh, API Management, and event-driven architectures.
• Prior experience in multi-tenant SaaS operations or managing client-specific tenants/environments.

Professional Attributes & Mindset

• Proactive operator who reduces risk through automation and strong governance.
• Curious, research-oriented: experiments with improvements, small R&D PoCs, and pilots.
• Customer-focused - understands business impact and communicates clearly under pressure.
• Collaborative team player who can mentor and enable developers to use platform features safely.
• Ownership mentality: sees operational issues through to resolution and implements preventative measures.

Learning & Growth

• Regular time allocated for learning (new Azure services, Copilot Studio features, IaC patterns).
• Opportunities to lead R&D experiments, prototype new resiliency patterns, and influence enterprise platform strategy.
• Clear career paths into Senior Platform Engineer, SRE Lead, Platform Architect, or Cloud Center of Excellence roles.

Working Conditions & Expectations

• On-call rotations (with compensatory time-off) and shift handling as required for 24/7 services.
• Willingness to work cross-geography hours for critical releases or incident response.

Why Join Us

• Hands-on ownership of cutting-edge Microsoft automation and AI tooling.
• Opportunity to shape platform governance and enterprise-grade release processes.
• Fast learning curve with broad exposure: DevOps, cloud, data, automation, and security.
• Collaborative culture that encourages innovation, experimentation, and continuous improvement.
