Azure DevOps Engineer

More than just a global leader in mining and infrastructure technology, this company is committed to innovation, collaboration, and sustainability in everything it does. Whether designing world-class equipment for the mining, infrastructure, or natural resources industries or driving digital transformation with cutting-edge integration solutions, the focus is on building the future of productivity.

At the company, the mission is simple: to empower teams and improve developer experiences by eliminating administrative and infrastructural barriers so technical experts can focus on what truly matters—delivering exceptional products and services. Join a diverse, supportive environment where creativity thrives, and every team member has the opportunity to shape the future of Enterprise Integration.

Role Overview:

As an Azure DevOps Engineer, the primary mission will be to offload administrative and infrastructural burdens from developers, improving the overall developer experience within the integration environment. Working behind the scenes, responsibilities include streamlining processes, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, enhancing service configurations, and ensuring developers can focus on creating the best possible solutions without being bogged down by tedious operational concerns.

The work will enable the integration of various internal and external systems using Azure services, ensuring seamless cloud connectivity and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. This role is at the core of building efficient and scalable cloud-based solutions, allowing development teams to concentrate on innovation.

Key Responsibilities:

Optimize Developer Workflows: Take ownership of improving CI/CD pipelines and automation processes, streamlining the flow of development from code to deployment. Implement tools and processes that reduce friction in developer workflows, ensuring smoother deployments and faster release cycles.
Simplify Infrastructure & Admin Management: Automate and handle administrative tasks such as service connection management, repository configurations, and infrastructure updates. This includes transitioning to more secure and scalable solutions like Workload Identity Federation, ensuring that infrastructure concerns are managed seamlessly without impacting developer productivity.
Plan Infrastructure Architecture: Contribute to the architectural team by planning and evolving the way integrations are built and hosted as new services become available or new challenges need to be addressed.
Troubleshoot & Resolve System Issues: Proactively monitor and maintain services, identifying and resolving integration issues before they affect developers. Troubleshoot errors in APIM, App Service Environments, and Service Bus to ensure smooth communication and data flow across platforms.
Governance & Policy Management: Ensure the implementation of Azure Policies that promote security and compliance across services, such as restricting public access for sensitive resources. Help define and enforce best practices for governance, allowing teams to focus on development while remaining compliant. Formulate and maintain Disaster Recovery plans.
Automate Repetitive Administrative Tasks: Where possible, automate administrative tasks such as branch management, repository configurations, and settings updates to ensure developers can focus on producing business value rather than managing infrastructure.


Required Skills & Qualifications:

DevOps Expertise: Experience in automating build and release pipelines in Azure DevOps to improve speed and efficiency across development, testing, and production environments.
Infrastructure as Code: Strong experience authoring ARM templates or Bicep. If experience includes Terraform, the ability to get up to speed quickly is expected.
Cloud Services Management: Proven experience in managing and configuring cloud services, including Function Apps, Azure App Service, Logic Apps, API Management, and Service Bus.
Security & Compliance Knowledge: Familiarity with Azure Policies, Workload Identity Federation, and other tools to ensure secure infrastructure while enabling smooth developer workflows.
Programming & Scripting Skills: Proficiency in PowerShell and C# for automation and troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting & Problem-Solving: Strong analytical skills to quickly resolve complex issues and clear development bottlenecks.
Team Collaboration: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Ability to engage and work closely with cross-functional teams, supporting developers and architects.


Preferred Skills:

Familiarity with Configuration as Code principles.
Experience with managing or setting up API gateways, microservices architectures, and serverless technologies.
Experience with managing and configuring container environments; ideally Azure Container Apps.
