Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on DevOps Manager to lead a three-person team supporting our Azure environment. This role combines people leadership, cloud engineering, automation, governance, security partnership, and incident management.

• Run daily standups and weekly coordination meetings with ITI and Service Desk; communicate effectively with developers, technical leaders, support teams, and business stakeholders.
• Serve as the first escalation point for On-Call support; lead production incident response, root cause analysis, post-incident reviews, and permanent corrective actions.
• Partner with Service Desk L2 and NSOC to improve triage, diagnostics, prioritization, runbooks, escalation paths, and automation so fewer incidents require developer involvement.

Azure Architecture, Reliability & Optimization

• Design and support secure, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective Azure solutions across compute, networking, identity, storage, data, integration, monitoring, security, containers, and platform services.
• Right-size and fine-tune Azure services for performance, availability, capacity, cost, autoscaling, scale-out, and scale-in.
• Implement resilient architectures using Availability Zones, zone redundancy, multi-region patterns, disaster recovery, and business continuity practices.
• Proactively identify code, deployment, configuration, capacity, and platform issues before they create business impact.

DevOps, GitHub, Azure DevOps & Automation

• Build and improve CI/CD workflows using GitHub, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps (ADO), which remains in active use; support branching, source control, release, and SDLC practices.
• Advance Infrastructure as Code and operational automation using OpenTofu, Terraform, PowerShell, and Bash.
• Streamline provisioning, configuration, deployment, change, recovery, support, and compliance processes.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools, including Claude or comparable platforms, responsibly for analysis, automation, documentation, and problem resolution.

Policy, Process, Procedure & Standardization

• Determine requirements for new and existing operational and engineering policies, processes, procedures, standards, and controls based on business, technical, security, and support needs.
• Develop and maintain Policy, Process, and Procedure documents for Application Development and other company teams, including NSOC.
• Define ownership, controls, handoffs, decision points, escalation paths, measures, and architecture patterns; drive adoption and continuous improvement.

Security, Monitoring & Dashboards

• Work with Information Security to embed DevSecOps requirements, remediate vulnerabilities, support audits, and strengthen operational controls.
• Review alerts, logs, telemetry, access patterns, and employee activity to identify recurring problems, security risks, policy violations, misuse, or potentially rogue user behavior.
• Improve alert quality and build actionable dashboards covering platform health, application performance, incidents, deployments, capacity, cost, security, and service-level trends.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years as a DevOps Manager or in a comparable hands-on technical leadership role, including employee supervision and operational accountability.
• Deep knowledge of Microsoft Azure architecture, services, operations, monitoring, networking, security, scalability, resilience, cost optimization, zone redundancy, and multi-region design.
• Strong experience with GitHub, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps (ADO), CI/CD, source control, branching strategies, and SDLC practices.
• Hands-on experience with OpenTofu, Terraform, PowerShell, and Bash.
• Experience with observability, dashboards, alerting, incident management, on-call escalation, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
• Ability to gather requirements and author clear Policy, Process, and Procedure documents for technical and operational teams.
• Excellent written, verbal, facilitation, and cross-functional communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• AWS or multi-cloud experience.
• Experience with Claude, GitHub Copilot, or other AI-assisted engineering tools.
• Experience with DevSecOps, policy-as-code, security analytics, or threat detection.
• Experience with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or similar platforms.
