The Must-Haves:

Your Mission in Motion: • CI/CD maturity (Azure DevOps): Lead the transition from manual infrastructure management to a fully automated CI/CD lifecycle in Azure DevOps, bridging the current state to push-button deployments. • Standardizing IaC (Terraform/Ansible): Own the Terraform and Ansible ecosystem to ensure changes are made through code, reducing manual tweaks and eliminating configuration drift. • Technical mentorship & standards: Act as the senior voice with the engineering team to establish standards, share best practices, and guide decisions on adopting new tools. • Compute & elasticity strategy: Help architect the next phase of infrastructure by moving services into modern, elastic environments that support high availability and self-healing. • Containerization roadmap: Lead container strategy by selecting workloads ready for orchestration, setting image standards, and ensuring consistent deployment patterns. • Reliability & monitoring + on-call: Define critical system health metrics with the team and participate in the on-call rotation to keep 24/7 delivery services operational and resilient.
Paving your way to your success:
• You lead the shift from manual work to automation by creating clear standards and driving consistent adoption across teams. • You partner effectively with developers to unblock deployments, using strong troubleshooting judgment and a calm, systematic approach. • You have the ability to understand application dependencies and troubleshoot build/deployment errors to unblock developers in mixed environments. • You balance modernization decisions pragmatically, helping teams choose between containers and VMs based on what each workload needs.
