Azure Architect​/Engineer

Overview

Join an enterprise organization as a Microsoft Azure Dev Ops Engineer in a full-time role responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and deployment automation in Microsoft Azure. This position ensures software can be built, tested, secured, and released rapidly, reliably, and in compliance with enterprise standards. You'll act as the bridge between development, QA, security, and IT operations teams, working with modern cloud-native technologies and automation frameworks.

This role focuses on Azure Dev Ops pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, container orchestration with AKS and Kubernetes, and cloud architecture design. You'll collaborate closely with software development teams working primarily with the Microsoft .NET framework, contributing to technical specifications and design documentation while implementing Dev Ops best practices across the organization.

This is an exceptional opportunity to work as a Dev Ops engineer in a mature enterprise environment with established cloud infrastructure and modern development practices. You'll have the autonomy to design and implement CI/CD pipelines while working with the full spectrum of Azure services including App Services, AKS, Virtual Machines, Storage, SQL, and networking. The role offers significant technical variety, from building deployment automation to architecting scalable cloud solutions and implementing security scanning throughout the software delivery lifecycle.

Working with development teams using C# and ASP.NET, you'll gain valuable experience supporting enterprise .NET applications while expanding your cloud and Dev Ops expertise. The position provides exposure to Infrastructure as Code tools including ARM templates, Bicep, and Terraform, along with container orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes. You'll implement comprehensive monitoring and observability solutions using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights, directly impacting system reliability and performance.

The collaborative environment encourages both independent critical thinking and team problem-solving, allowing you to grow technically while contributing to strategic Dev Ops initiatives. With competitive compensation and the opportunity to work with cutting-edge Azure technologies in an enterprise setting, this role offers both stability and technical challenge.
