You will collaborate with developers and IT teams to enforce branching strategies, manage IaC, and maintain secure deployment practices across Dev, Test, and Production zones, including monitoring and incident response.

Qualifications

• 4-Year / Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, or equivalent years of directly relevant work experience required.
• 4–6 years of hands-on DevOps or release engineering experience required, with demonstrated ownership of CI/CD pipelines in a production environment.
• Proven expertise with Azure DevOps (ADO), including YAML pipeline authoring, release pipelines, environment management, and test plan integration required.
• Experience managing environment promotion workflows (Dev → Test → Production) with approval gates, quality checks, and rollback capabilities required.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (C#, PowerShell or Python) for deployment automation, environment configuration, and pre/post-deployment validation required.
• Working knowledge of Windows and Linux Server environments.
• Experience with version control systems and branching strategies that support multiple concurrent development streams required.
• Familiarity with enterprise application integration patterns; experience interacting with ERP systems (SAP), messaging platforms (Kafka), or industrial data systems (Ignition/SQL) preferred.
• Experience with ERP, MES enterprise platforms preferred.
• OpenShift / Redhat experience preferred.
• Infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, ARM templates) for provisioning preferred.
• Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) for supporting services adjacent to ERP/MES platform preferred.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps (ADO) to automate packaging, validation, and deployment of enterprise platform configurations and customizations with security integrated.
• Own and operate the environment promotion workflow (Dev → Test → Production), enforcing quality gates and release controls at each stage to protect operations stability.
• Develop and maintain automated test and validation frameworks for source code packages prior to deployment, including integration checks against SAP, DataHub (Ignition/SQL), Kafka, and Bartender interfaces.
• Collaborate with application developers and systems analysts to establish branching strategies, PR workflows, and versioning conventions supporting parallel build cycles.
• Manage infrastructure-as-code and configuration management for enterprise platforms environments, ensuring parity and reproducibility across Dev, Test, and Production tiers.
• Partner with Architecture to define and uphold deployment standards, cutover runbooks, and rollback procedures for go-lives and upgrades.
• Support post-deployment monitoring and incident response for enterprise platforms, diagnosing pipeline failures and environment drift.
• Maintain deployment documentation, release notes, and ADO pipeline definitions in line with Way of Working standards.
• Contribute to DevOps maturity by reducing manual effort, improving deployment reliability, and shortening lead times from dev to production.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and deploy secure cloud infrastructure and applications on MS Azure.
• Leverage Wiz to monitor, identify, and remediate vulnerabilities across cloud environments, containers, and apps.
• Integrate security tools and practices into CI/CD pipelines, including automated scans, vulnerability management, and compliance checks to reduce risk.
• Ensure infrastructure, applications, and data comply with industry standards and security best practices (GDPR, SOC 2).
• Implement and maintain cloud security controls, including secure access management and protection of sensitive data.
• Perform regular security audits, threat assessments, and lead incident response efforts to identify and mitigate risks proactively.
