Azure DevOps Engineer Job Austin area,Texas USA,IT/Tech

Job Responsibilities:

CI/CD Pipeline Design and Management Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using the Git Lab CI/CD platform to support the full application build lifecycle, ensuring smooth integration and deployment of applications.
Develop and enforce best practices for source code management, branch strategies, and Git Lab runner configurations.
Collaborate with development teams to identify key pipeline requirements and workflows, enabling continuous integration, automated testing, and efficient deployments.
Ensure pipelines are scalable, efficient, and capable of supporting parallel builds, automated rollbacks, and multi-environment deployments.
Azure Cloud Infrastructure Support Manage and optimize cloud resources in Azure, including virtual machines, networking, and storage to support Dev Ops processes.
Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, ARM templates, or Bicep to automate the provisioning and management of Azure resources.
Collaborate with cloud architects to ensure CI/CD processes align with Azure Landing Zone (ALZ) principles.
Security and Compliance Implement security practices within CI/CD pipelines, such as secret management, least-privilege access controls, and identity integration with Azure AD.
Implement Software Composition Analysis (SCA) & SBOM Integration:
Integrate and manage continuous scanning tools (e.g., OWASP Dependency Check, Dependency-Track, CycloneDX) to automatically detect and address vulnerable open-source dependencies and maintain accurate software bill of materials (SBOMs).
Implement Static Application Security Testing (SAST):
Implement SAST tools (e.g., Sonar Qube, Checkmarx) within the CI/CD pipeline to detect security vulnerabilities, code smells, and compliance issues early in the development lifecycle.
Implement Container Security:
Integrate container image scanning tools (e.g., Trivy, Aqua Security) to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in base images, configurations, and dependencies before production deployments.
Implement Secrets Detection and Management:
Automate secrets detection and management using secure vaulting solutions (e.g., Hashi Corp Vault, Azure Key Vault) to prevent hard-coded secrets and unauthorized access during builds.
Automated Compliance and Policy Enforcement:
Implement automated compliance checks and enforce security policies directly within Git Lab CI/CD pipelines, generating actionable reports to ensure adherence to standards like NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, and OWASP.
Monitoring and Optimization Set up and manage Git Lab monitoring, logging, and performance optimization tools.
Use tools like Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights to monitor deployment health and optimize pipeline performance.
Continuously improve pipeline efficiency and deployment speed while minimizing downtime.
Collaboration and Support Work closely with development, QA, and security teams to integrate their workflows into the Git Lab CI/CD process.
Provide technical support for developers and teams and assist with CI/CD Pipeline Troubleshooting:
Investigate and resolve CI/CD pipeline issues, including build failures, deployment errors, or security-related blockages, to minimize downtime and disruption to development teams.
Provide Incident Response and Continuous Improvement:
Lead root cause analysis and post-mortem reviews for CI/CD incidents and outages, documenting lessons learned and implementing process improvements to prevent future occurrences.
Provide

Cross-functional collaboration:

Work closely with development, security, and operations teams to continuously enhance CI/CD workflows, addressing emerging security threats and optimizing delivery performance.
Automation and Integration Develop and maintain automated deployment pipelines for containerized applications using Kubernetes and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
Integrate Git Lab CI/CD with third-party testing, monitoring, and reporting tools.
Automate routine tasks like pipeline testing, artifact creation, and environment cleanups.
5+ years in Dev Ops engineering roles, with 3+ years working with Git Lab CI/CD.
Proven experience managing Azure cloud resources and implementing CI/CD pipelines for cloud-based applications.

Skills:

Proficiency in Azure services, including virtual networks, storage accounts, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
Strong knowledge of scripting languages like Power Shell, Bash, or Python for pipeline automation.
Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools…
