Azure DevOps Engineer

Project description

We're on the lookout for a skilled and motivated Azure Platform Engineer to join our cloud engineering team. This is a hands-on DevOps engineering role where you'll architect, automate, and operate Azure-based platforms that enable scalable, secure, and high-performance applications.

You'll be instrumental in building cloud-native infrastructure using modern IaC principles, with a strong emphasis on automation, continuous integration/delivery, and observability.

Responsibilities

• Engineer solutions in Azure cloud, develop, and manage end-to-end Azure DevOps Pipelines (multi-stage YAML) for infrastructure and application deployments.
• Automate Azure infrastructure using Azure Bicep, and manage deployments using GitOps and version-controlled CI/CD workflows in Azure DevOps Pipelines.
• Design and deploy event-driven systems using:
• Azure Event Grid
• Azure Event Hub
• Azure Functions
• Provision and manage Azure Databricks clusters, notebooks, and workspace configurations.
• Build pipelines for deploying custom Python libraries and microservices to staging and production environments.
• Integrate and manage supporting services such as:
• Azure API Management (APIM) for API gateway and policy configuration
• Azure Key Vault for secrets, certificates, and identity integration
• Azure Application Insights and Azure Monitor for performance and reliability monitoring
• Log Analytics for observability and diagnostic analysis
• Automate network provisioning: VNETs, subnets, private endpoints, NSGs, route tables, and firewalls.
• Implement access controls, role-based access (RBAC), and security posture checks.
• Collaborate across teams to embed DevOps best practices and ensure system resilience and compliance.

Skills

Must have

• Proficiency in Azure DevOps, YAML pipelines, release strategies, and artifact management.

• Expertise in automating and operating:
• Azure Event Grid / Event Hub / Functions
• Azure Databricks (incl. workspace automation & cluster management)
• Azure Networking & Resource Groups
• Working knowledge of Azure API Management, Key Vault, Application Gateway, and App Services.
• Practical experience with deploying Python libraries and managing dependency versions across environments.
• Strong scripting skills: PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
• Familiarity with containerisation and orchestration (e.g., Docker, AKS, optional but desirable).
• Good understanding of CI/CD, DevSecOps, and compliance in cloud environments.
• Experience working with monitoring and logging tools like Azure Monitor, App Insights, and Log Analytics.

Nice to have

• Azure certifications (e.g., AZ-400, AZ-104, AZ-305)
• Experience with Service Bus, Storage Queues, or Event-Driven Architectures
• Familiarity with GitHub Actions, Terraform Cloud, or Pulumi is a plus
• Experience in FinTech, HealthTech, or regulated industries (for secure & compliant design)
• Passion for automation, testing, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to balance speed and stability in delivery.
• Strong collaboration and stakeholder communication skills.
• Desire to mentor others and share knowledge.
• Committed to high standards of security, governance, and documentation.
