Job description

The DevOps and Cloud Engineer supports VDOT ITD Tolling modernization by building secure, automated deployment processes and ensuring reliable delivery and update of services. The role standardizes CI/CD, improves availability, and cost efficiency.

Core Responsibilities: DevOps & Cloud Engineering

CI/CD Engineering & Release Automation

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps (YAML and Classic) for microservices and APIs.
• Establish reusable pipeline templates, release standards, and guardrails for compliant, repeatable deployments.
• Implement secure secrets and key management using Azure Key Vault and managed identities in pipelines.
• Automate database deployment workflows (e.g., DACPAC/SQLCMD) and integrate migration steps into releases.
• Enable blue/green or automated rollback strategies to minimize downtime and risk.

Environment Consistency & Observability

• Standardize provisioning and configuration across Dev/QA/Prod environments; codify configuration baselines.
• Build monitoring dashboards and actionable alerts for pipeline and deployment health (App Insights, pipeline logs).
• Uphold DevOps best practices tailored to a compliant government environment.
• Implement and maintain Azure services and governance standards (e.g., App Services, Function Apps, API Gateways/API Management, AKS) supporting Tolling workloads.
• Support identity and access management (e.g., Entra ID SSO and role assignments) following least-privilege principles.
• Ensure solutions are fault tolerant and highly available; coordinate change requests and rollback procedures.

Monitoring, Troubleshooting & Reliability

• Monitor Azure services and application workloads to ensure uptime and performance; perform diagnostic deep-dives with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.
• Triage production incidents, drive timely resolution, and document root cause findings; participate in operational cycles and maintenance readiness checks.
• Consider PCI or comparable regulatory requirements when evaluating system behavior, logging, and integrations.
• Understand end-to-end data flows across tolling systems (e.g., roadway data, financial transactions, reporting) and support optimization of integrations.
• Contribute to cloud cost visibility and optimization recommendations; align operational choices with governance and budget goals.
• Partner with architects, developers, DBAs, and engineers to align deployments with secure network and identity configurations; communicate clearly with stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps CI/CD (YAML & Classic).
• Secure secrets & key management (Azure Key Vault, RBAC, managed identities).
• SQL deployment automation integrated with CI/CD.
• Logging & observability (App Insights, pipeline logs, dashboards, alerts).
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates).
• Scripting & automation (PowerShell and/or Python).
• Experience with Azure administration/engineering in production environments.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience designing CI/CD standards or DevOps frameworks for microservices.
• Containerization & orchestration (Docker, AKS); registry-integrated build and release pipelines.
• Experience with PCI or similar compliance frameworks.
• Exposure to cloud cost analysis and optimization in enterprise environments.

Skill Matrix:

• Azure App Services / Functions / APIs / Containers Required 3 Years
• Secure Secrets & Key Management (Key Vault, RBAC, managed identities) Required 3 Years
• SQL Deployment Automation (DACPAC, SQLCMD, CI/CD-integrated DB migrations) Required 1 Years
• Logging & Observability (App Insights, pipeline logs, dashboards, alerts) Required 3 Years
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Bicep/ARM) Required 2 Years
• Identity & Access (Entra ID), least-privilege IAM Required 1 Years
• Governance & Compliance Automation (Azure Policy, RBAC, pipeline guardrails) Desired 1 Years
