• Build and maintain GitHub Actions CI/CD for secure, repeatable delivery.
• Write PowerShell, Python, and Bash to remove manual steps.
• Create self-service templates for repos, pipelines, and containers

• Troubleshoot builds and deployments; support night releases 2-3 nights per week.
• Contribute documentation and guardrails for security and reliability.

Required Qualifications:

• 2-4 years DevOps, release engineering, or cloud engineering with software-engineering fundamentals.
• Azure PaaS: Function Apps, App Service, networking, Key Vault.
• Deep GitHub Actions plus Azure DevOps Pipelines.
