Through our industry-leading expertise, innovative technology and vast experience listening to and working in tandem with our customers, PowerPlan software sets the standard that CFOs can count on.

PowerPlan is looking for a hands‑on, solutions‑oriented DevOps Engineer to lead the design, automation, and optimization of CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure in support of our SaaS products. This role is essential in ensuring reliable, secure, and efficient software delivery across Azure and multi‑cloud environments. The ideal candidate combines deep technical skills in automation, container orchestration, infrastructure as code, and observability with a proactive, collaborative mindset.

This position works closely with development, security, and operations teams to drive continuous improvement in our DevOps practices and ensure high availability and performance for both internal development teams and external customers.

Key Performance Objectives

• CI/CD Automation and Optimization : Within 90 days, evaluate and document current CI/CD processes; by 6 months, identify all differences between current Dev and Cloud pipelines and develop plan for joining the two. Implement automated testing and rollback strategies across multiple environments (dev/test/stage/prod).
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Deployment : Provision and manage cloud infrastructure in Azure (and AWS if applicable) using Terraform within the first 60 days. Deploy at least two major environments (including networking, security, and compute resources) following standardized IaC modules.
• Support and Troubleshoot Production Environments : Triage and resolve 90%+ of DevOps-related support tickets within defined SLAs. Provide on‑call support in a rotating schedule, maintaining service availability and rapid incident resolution with minimal escalations.
• Improve System Observability : Within 3 months, implement log aggregation and metrics visualization dashboards (e.g., using Prometheus, Grafana, or Azure Monitor). Identify key gaps in alerts/dashboards within Coralogix platform and develop plan to implement by 6 months.
• Access and Security Enhancements : Configure identity federation using SAML/OIDC and manage Windows AD or Entra ID domains securely by month 3. By month 6, coordinate with customers to configure SAML integration for 3 different environments.
• Container Orchestration and Deployment : By the end of the second quarter, deploy at least one new containerized application using Kubernetes and Helm, and document the process for reuse across teams. Ensure all containers follow secure configuration practices and are integrated with monitoring and alerting systems.
