The PositionWe are seeking a DevOps Engineer to own the deployment pipeline that allows our Production Group to ship new internal applications quickly, reliably, and securely. You will design and maintain the deployment templates, CI/CD pipelines, identity integration, and observability standards that every application produced by the team uses.
This is a force-multiplier role. Every improvement you make to the pipeline reduces the engineering effort required for every subsequent deployment, across a growing portfolio of internal automation applications.
You will work closely with the Senior Technology Manager, a Production Reliability Engineer (counterpart role), and a group of Production Engineers who use your pipeline daily.
Key Responsibilities:- Design, build, and maintain reusable Azure Container Apps deployment templates for the firm's internal application portfolio
- Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or equivalent) for the deployment of new applications
- Implement and automate Entra ID / SSO integration, Azure Key Vault secret management, and managed identity patterns
- Establish observability standards (Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics) and ensure new applications adhere
- Partner with the Production Reliability Engineer to ensure deployment pipelines support reliable operation
- Continuously reduce per-application deployment effort through template improvements and automation
- Maintain documentation of the deployment pipeline, including patterns documented in the firm's shared engineering reference library
- Contribute to security and compliance posture work (SOC2 readiness, Vanta evidence collection) as it relates to the deployment pipeline
Required Skills & Qualifications:- 5+ years professional experience as a DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, or Site Reliability Engineer
- Strong Azure cloud experience, particularly Container Apps, App Service, and supporting services
- Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, or equivalent)
- Infrastructure-as-Code proficiency (Bicep, ARM templates, Terraform, or equivalent)
- Strong understanding of containerization (Docker), networking fundamentals, and Azure RBAC
- Hands-on experience with Entra ID (Azure AD), SSO/SAML, and Key Vault
- Comfortable working in Linux/Unix environments
- Strong written and verbal communication - you can explain pipeline decisions clearly to developers who will use them daily
Preferred Skills & Qualifications- Experience with compliance-automation platforms (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe)
- Experience instrumenting applications for observability beyond basic uptime - distributed tracing, structured logging, custom metrics
- Familiarity with Databricks, data warehouses, or analytics platforms
- Comfort using TypeScript or Python for pipeline tooling and automation
- Experience in regulated industries (legal, financial services, healthcare)
- Familiarity with security tooling (Huntress, Microsoft Defender, similar)
