Job description

This is a remote position.

Responsible for designing, building, and optimizing the automation processes for provisioning infrastructure and applications – via infrastructure-as-code
Standardize and streamline build and release pipelines – CICD
Configure and administer platforms and services
Support operational activities by ensuring platforms and infra for pipelines are optimal, recoverable, and easily scalable to meet the capacity demands
Provide incident management oversight – root cause analysis, stakeholder communications, post-mortems, and manage preventative measures and resolutions
Drive improvements in operational efficiency for all services
Actively involved in deployments of platform and pipeline artefacts
Ensure security, high availability, and disaster recovery are always front of mind
Continuous monitoring of cost and risk – with a view to reducing and mitigating
Ensure production and non-production environments stay in sync through the alignment of stable standards, code and configurations
Identify relevant emerging trends and build compelling cases for adoption e.g. tool selection
Involved in PoCs, prototypes and innovation spikes to seek directional outcomes

Requirements

Proficient with CICD toolchains (e.g. Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Git, Artefactory etc.)
Proficient in one or more scripting languages for automation (e.g. Linux Bash, PowerShell, Python)
Proficient in provisioning platforms via Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) techniques (e.g. Terraform, YAML, Azure Resource Manager (ARM))
Working experience configuring, securing and administering platforms in Azure; knowledge in Cloud infrastructure and networking principles (e.g. Azure PaaS, IaaS)
Demonstrable knowledge of working with distributed data platforms (e.g. Azure ADLS, Data Lakes)
Experience working with vulnerability management and code-inspection tooling (e.g. Snyk, SonarQube)
Possess an “automation-first” mindset when building solutions; considerations for self-healing and fault-tolerant methods to minimize manual intervention and downtime
Experience building/maintaining an API-led event-driven architecture, e.g. using Azure Event Grid, Azure Functions
Cluster image container management (e.g. Azure Container Registry)
Good understanding of network configuration – DNS, Routing, VPN, Firewalls, Endpoint management
Experience of including vulnerability management within the deployment pipelines – for package dependencies and containers
Experience in implementing custom Data Observability, capturing telemetry to understand the health of data and pipelines better
