Azure Devops Engineer

Astrea

X Solutions is seeking an experienced Dev Ops Engineer specializing in Microsoft Azure. They are a consulting firm with a diverse client base spanning government, education, and commercial sectors.

This role will involve working across a variety of projects and verticals, with most of the work focused on new builds rather than maintaining existing environments.

You’ll be responsible for designing, implementing, and managing Dev Ops solutions that support client build and release pipelines. The majority of applications will be written in .NET, so experience with how .NET applications are built, deployed, and optimized is critical.

You will also manage Azure resources, provision environments, and work heavily within Azure PaaS for containers and microservices.

This position offers a high level of autonomy—you’ll be relied upon to make architectural decisions that directly influence the direction of entire projects.
