About the Position
We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead DevOps and infrastructure delivery for a project with one of our key clients. In this role, you will combine hands‑on Azure expertise with strong technical judgment, coordinating across backend, frontend, QA, data, and product teams within an engineering organization of 30+ people. The ideal candidate independently investigates unfamiliar systems, defines what applications need to reach production, turns findings into prioritized work, and follows through to validate outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Own the project's DevOps area with independence and strong technical judgment, investigating existing applications, infrastructure, and data pipelines to identify technical gaps, dependencies, and the people and information needed to move forward.
- Deliver hands‑on changes to the project infrastructure.
- Define what each application needs to reach production and turn those needs into a clear work plan, building and prioritizing a backlog that balances delivery commitments, critical issues, production readiness, and technical debt.
- Translate technical findings and stakeholder needs into actionable work for backend, frontend, QA, data, and DevOps specialists, agreeing on ownership, expected outcomes, and acceptance criteria, and validating completed work.
- Diagnose whether issues originate in infrastructure, application code, integrations, or data processing, and contribute to architecture decisions across multiple applications together with the appropriate technical leads.
- Investigate ADF‑orchestrated Databricks ETL workflows and performance issues using production‑like data volumes, assessing partitioning, batching, cleansing, transformation, validation, and failure handling.
- Support and complete the migration from Bicep and ARM templates to OpenTofu, assessing existing configurations, planning changes and dependencies, and validating deployment behavior.
- Build and improve deployment pipelines, environment provisioning, and configuration practices across Azure DevOps and GitHub workflows, resolving gaps that affect reliable releases.
