Overview
Leads the automation, configuration, deployment, monitoring, and operational enablement of enterprise platform environments and services in Microsoft Azure. The role establishes and maintains CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, environment configuration, release automation, observability, security controls, secrets management, and operational tooling needed to support reliable delivery across development, testing, staging, and production. Working with developers, architects, testers, cybersecurity specialists, and operational teams, the Senior DevOps Engineer improves deployment consistency, reduces manual effort, strengthens traceability, and supports secure and repeatable releases. The role also applies senior software-development experience to develop new tools, scripts, utilities, and platform services, and to assist developers with troubleshooting application, build, integration, pipeline, and deployment issues. The role monitors platform health, supports incident response and recovery, and develops runbooks and knowledge-transfer materials that improve the scalability, resilience, supportability, and long-term sustainability of the enterprise platform.
