Description
:PURPOSE OF POSITION
To design, build, and automate end to end Release Management processes across the FSRA enterprise application landscape. This role will be responsible for implementing robust, scalable CI/CD pipelines, enforcing quality and security gates, and driving automation that improves deployment consistency, traceability, and compliance, particularly within regulated and public sector environments. To enhance specialized functionality and efficiency within the Dev Ops pipeline.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. CI/CD Pipeline Architecture & Automation
• Designs, builds, and maintains Azure Dev Ops YAML pipelines for build, test, deploy, and release processes.
• Optimizes YAML pipelines, creating complex Artifacts workflows, managing granular security permissions, or implementing specialized security tools (Dev Sec Ops ).
• Automates deployments across multiple environments (Dev, SIT, UAT, Pre-Prod, Prod) with governance-enabled approvals.
• Implements environment promotion workflows, artifact versioning, variable groups, and secure secret management.
• Integrates automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, regression, UI) into pipelines.
2. Release Management Automation
• Automates manual steps in FSRA’s release processes, including deployment packaging, configuration migration, integration deployments, pre and post deployment validation.
• Builds automated release dashboards, release notes generators, and compliance reporting for CAB/Audit.
• Supports Release Managers in orchestrating production releases through automation, tooling, and pipeline enhancements.
• Ensures that vendor releases meet internal release standards before deployment.
• Validates that Vendor deliverables are complete and deployable as per plan/design.
3. Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Builds and maintains IaC templates using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM for consistent, repeatable infrastructure deployments.
• Automates provisioning of Azure resources (App Services, Function Apps, Storage, API Management, Key Vault, Integration components).
• Integrates infrastructure deployments into CI/CD pipelines following Dev Sec Ops patterns.
4. Dev Sec Ops , Security & Compliance
• Implements security gates including SAST/DAST scanning, dependency scanning, container image scanning, artifact signing.
• Ensures compliance with public-sector standards for traceability, approvals, auditability, and change control.
• Maintains configuration baselines and ensure consistent environment drift detection.
5. Monitoring, Observability & Release Quality
• Integrates monitoring and health checks (App Insights, Log Analytics, Grafana, Splunk) into deployment processes.
• Builds automated smoke test, post-deployment validation, and roll-back verification steps.
• Pipeline metrics and performance improvements (e.g., faster builds, fewer failures).
• Supports RCA for failed deployments and optimize pipelines to reduce change failure rate.
6. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
• Partners with Release Managers, Developers, QA, Architects, and Operations to streamline release processes.
• Conducts pipeline performance tuning: parallelization, caching, artifact optimization, and build agent optimization.
• Drives continuous improvement through automation, reusability, and enterprise Dev Ops standards.
• Develops a variety of resources tools including enterprise-standard Azure Dev Ops pipeline templates and reusable libraries. automated release dashboards and deployment audit trail reports, IaC templates for application and infrastructure provisioning, automated smoke tests and deployment validation scripts.
