Senior DevOps Engineer

4-7 Years of Experience

Job Summary

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer with 4-7 years of hands-on experience designing, implementing, and supporting enterprise-grade DevOps and CI/CD solutions. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in Microsoft Azure, Azure DevOps, YAML-based multi-stage pipelines, Git/GitHub workflows, DevSecOps, Docker, Kubernetes, infrastructure automation, and production release management.

The candidate should be capable of owning DevOps solutions end-to-end-from source control and build automation through security validation, artifact management, deployment, approvals, monitoring, troubleshooting, and rollback. Experience with DataOps, Snowflake CI/CD, Azure Data Factory (ADF), Terraform/Bicep/ARM, and Azure cloud services is highly desirable.

Role Overview

• Role
• Experience: 4-7 Years
• Primary Focus: Azure DevOps, CI/CD, DevSecOps, Cloud & Infrastructure Automation
• Cloud: Microsoft Azure
• Source Control: Git / GitHub / Azure Repos
• Containers: Docker / Kubernetes
• Automation: YAML, PowerShell, Bash, Python
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform / Bicep / ARM Templates
• Preferred Domain Experience: DataOps, Snowflake, ADF, Azure Cloud

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, implement, and maintain end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps.
• Create reusable, parameterized, and secure multi-stage YAML pipelines for build, test, validation, deployment, and release automation.
• Own DevOps solutions across development, test/QA, staging, and production environments.
• Implement deployment strategies such as rolling, blue-green, canary, and controlled/manual promotion where appropriate.
• Implement branch policies, pull-request validation, build validation, approvals, and environment protection mechanisms.
• Manage Git/GitHub/Azure Repos workflows, branching strategies, merge policies, tagging, and release/versioning practices.
• Integrate automated quality and security checks into CI/CD pipelines, including static analysis, dependency scanning, secret detection, and compliance gates.
• Manage build artifacts, package/version management, artifact retention, and promotion across environments.
• Implement infrastructure provisioning and configuration management using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.
• Automate operational activities using PowerShell, Bash, Python, or equivalent scripting languages.
• Containerize applications using Docker and manage image build, tagging, scanning, storage, and deployment processes.
• Deploy and manage containerized workloads on Kubernetes/AKS, including deployments, services, config maps, secrets, ingress, scaling, and troubleshooting.
• Implement secure authentication and authorization using Azure service connections, managed identities, Key Vault, secrets, and least-privilege access.
• Integrate Azure Key Vault and other secret-management mechanisms into CI/CD pipelines without exposing credentials in logs or source control.
• Monitor pipeline execution, application deployments, infrastructure health, and production issues; perform root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Support production releases, change management, deployment approvals, release coordination, rollback, and recovery activities.
• Design reliable rollback and recovery mechanisms for failed or partially completed deployments.
• Collaborate with developers, QA, architects, security teams, and operations teams to improve deployment reliability and developer experience.
• Identify opportunities to eliminate manual steps and continuously improve automation, deployment frequency, reliability, and lead time.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, deployment standards, runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and operational procedures.
• Mentor junior DevOps engineers and contribute to DevOps standards, reusable templates, and best practices.

Technical Skills - Azure DevOps & CI/CD

• Strong hands-on experience with Azure DevOps Services: Repos, Pipelines, Boards, Test Plans, Artifacts, Environments, and Service Connections.
• Advanced understanding of YAML pipeline concepts: stages, jobs, steps, templates, parameters, variables, variable groups, conditions, expressions, dependencies, and outputs.
• Experience designing reusable pipeline templates and centralized CI/CD frameworks for multiple applications/projects.
• Experience with CI triggers, PR validation, path filters, scheduled/manual triggers, branch policies, and gated deployments.
• Hands-on experience with environment approvals, checks, deployment gates, and production release controls.
• Strong understanding of pipeline agents, agent pools, self-hosted agents, Microsoft-hosted agents, caching, workspaces, and artifacts.
• Ability to troubleshoot pipeline failures involving authentication, permissions, agents, dependencies, scripts, artifacts, and deployment tasks.

DevSecOps & Security

• Implement security controls throughout the software delivery lifecycle rather than treating security as a final release step.
• Integrate SAST, dependency scanning, container image scanning, secret scanning, and policy/compliance checks into CI/CD.
• Apply least-privilege access, secure service connections, managed identities, and controlled production permissions.
• Protect secrets using Azure Key Vault or equivalent secret-management platforms.
• Understand secure handling of credentials, tokens, certificates, private keys, and pipeline variables.
• Support vulnerability remediation, security findings triage, and release blocking based on defined severity thresholds.

Git, GitHub & Release Management

• Strong understanding of Git commands, branching, merging, rebasing, cherry-picking, tagging, and conflict resolution.
• Experience with GitHub/Azure Repos pull requests, code reviews, branch protection, reviewers, and merge strategies.
• Experience with GitFlow, trunk-based development, or equivalent enterprise branching strategies.
• Ability to define versioning and release strategies suitable for multiple environments.
• Experience supporting hotfixes, emergency releases, rollback, and release recovery.

Docker & Kubernetes / AKS

• Build optimized Docker images using Dockerfiles and multi-stage builds.
• Understand image tagging, registries, image lifecycle, vulnerabilities, and immutable release practices.
• Deploy and troubleshoot workloads in Kubernetes/AKS environments.
• Hands-on understanding of Pods, Deployments, ReplicaSets, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, Namespaces, Ingress, probes, requests/limits, and autoscaling.
• Troubleshoot common Kubernetes issues such as CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff, pending pods, service connectivity, failed probes, and configuration issues.
• Understand Kubernetes rollout, rollback, scaling, and deployment health validation.
