Senior Azure DevOps Engineer

Job description

### Senior Azure DevOps Engineer DISHER is currently partnering with a supply chain solutions company on their need for a Senior Azure DevOps Engineer. They are expanding their cloud capabilities in Azure and positioning themselves as a technology company. In this role, you will own and evolve their Azure cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and operational practices. You'll design, build, and optimize the platform that connects their applications, data, and integrations—automating delivery, hardening infrastructure-as-code, and driving reliability, security, and cost efficiency across a complex, distributed environment. This organization is actively investing in modernizing how they build and operate in the cloud, and you will be a key contributor to that work. ### What it's like to work here: This organization empowers high-performance teams to solve complex global challenges through creativity, partnership, and technology. Employees enjoy a supportive, collaborative environment where initiative and growth are celebrated. With a focus on work-life balance and professional development, this company provides meaningful opportunities for technical and personal advancement in a distributed workplace. ### What you will get to do: **CI/CD & Automation** - Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions) for multi-environment delivery. - Own the end-to-end build, test, and deployment automation for their product and other critical applications. - Establish normalized, regulated CI/CD pipeline builds through infrastructure-as-code and standardized tooling. - Implement DevSecOps practices, including SAS/DAS scanning and security hardening across all pipelines. - Optimize pipeline performance for speed, reliability, and cost efficiency. **Infrastructure & Platform** - Design and own Azure cloud infrastructure, including networking, identity (RBAC), Key Vault, monitoring, and alerting. - Implement and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and/or Bicep for reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure. - Manage containerized workloads using Docker, Azure Container Registry (ACR), and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). - Architect and optimize Azure services for scale, latency, security, and cost. - Lead infrastructure modernization initiatives and establish best practices for cloud operations. - Collaborate with leadership to identify opportunities to expand Azure adoption across the organization. **AI Infrastructure & Navigator Platform** - Own the build pipelines, GitHub workflows, and infrastructure for Navigator, their commercial AI-native service logistics product. - Manage containers and different setups for the ETL process, ensuring reliability and performance for data pipeline operations. - Oversee service governance, configuration, and security aspects of AI workloads running in production. - Ensure AI workloads meet production standards for reliability, security, monitoring, and cost efficiency. - Function as a peer with the Senior AI/Application Engineer on shared infrastructure ownership. **Internal DevOps Practice & Consolidation** - Offload DevOps work from engineers currently wearing ops hats, freeing them to focus on application development. - Assess existing infrastructure and pipelines; contribute immediately to remaining work and take ongoing ownership. - Normalize CI/CD pipelines across multiple applications in flight (currently on different stacks) to reduce architecture burn and contextual switching. - Build repeatable patterns and internal tooling that accelerate future infrastructure and deployment work across the organization. - Plan for scaling as new applications come online and new integrations are required. - Help the organization understand and optimize costs in Azure. ### What will make you successful: - 5-7 years managing Azure infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines in production environments. You must have OWNED this work (not just contributed). - Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions. - Deep experience with Infrastructure-as-Code—specifically Terraform and/or Bicep. - Hands-on experience with containers (Docker, AKS, ACR) and Kubernetes operations. - Solid understanding of Azure identity, networking, Key Vault, monitoring, and RBAC. - Strong troubleshooting and independent problem-solving ability, including production incident response. - Experience with DevSecOps (implementing SAS/DAS scanning in pipelines). - Comfortable working in complex, integration-heavy environments (supply chain, warehouse networks, ERP systems). - Self-starter who builds with conviction and thrives on ownership and rapid iteration. - Energized by scope growth and taking infrastructure initiatives from concept to production. - Strong independent problem-solving ability, including production incident response. - Desire to be in a collaborative environment. - Translates ambiguous operational problems into scalable, reliable solutions. - Must have the current and continuing right to work in the United States of America without restrictions or expirations.
