Architect - Dev Ops

As a DevOps Architect with a core focus on SRE, you will bridge the gap between high-velocity development and rock-solid system reliability. You will leverage your expertise in Azure services and Build Automation to design resilient, automated systems that self-heal and scale.

Key Responsibilities :

Reliability Frameworks: Use Azure Logic Apps (Step Functions) to automate incident response workflows and system recovery.

Build Pipeline Optimization: Standardize Maven/Gradle configurations across teams to ensure consistent, repeatable builds.

Configuration Management: Design a global configuration strategy using Azure App Config to allow for feature flagging and dynamic environment tuning without redeployment.

Code-to-Cloud Governance: Ensure Git best practices are followed, including automated PR gates and security scanning.

Strategic Roadmap Ownership: Define and maintain a 12-month DevOps/SRE maturity roadmap. This includes identifying technical debt, evaluating emerging Azure services, and aligning engineering velocity with system reliability goals.

Maturity Assessment: Regularly audit the current CI/CD and SRE practices against industry benchmarks (DORA metrics) to prioritize roadmap initiatives.

SRE & Azure Ecosystem

This section focuses on reliability engineering specifically within the Microsoft Azure stack.

Azure SRE Leadership: Deep expertise in managing and monitoring Azure Services (App Services, AKS, Azure SQL).

Serverless & Logic Flows: Architecting complex, long-running workflows and state machines using Azure Step Functions (Logic Apps) and Azure Functions.

Service Configuration: Expert-level management of Azure App Configuration and Azure Key Vault for centralized, secure settings across environments.

Observability: Advanced implementation of Azure Monitor and Application Insights to track SLIs and SLOs.

Azure Networking: Designing secure VNETs, Load Balancers, and Traffic Managers to ensure high availability.

DevOps, Build & Scripting

This section focuses on the ""Plumbing"" of the delivery pipeline and automation.

Build Automation: Expert knowledge of Maven and Gradle for managing complex Java-based build lifecycles, dependencies, and artifacts.

Version Control: Advanced Git strategies (GitOps, branching strategies, and repository management in Azure DevOps/GitHub).

Scripting Mastery: * Shell/PowerShell: For infrastructure automation and ""toil"" reduction.

[removed] For customizing CI/CD actions and integrating with modern web-based toolchains.

Automation Logic: Writing robust scripts to automate manual recovery steps and environment provisioning.
