What You'll Do:

In this software-centric role, you’ll spearhead the design and delivery of automation—built with modern DevOps practices—to empower our operations teams to manage and maintain the cloud environments powering our network at scale. You’ll partner closely with internal platform teams, operations, and external collaborators (including Microsoft) to ship reliable, secure, and observable automation that accelerates operations and reduces toil.

  • Embed observability and reliability into automation (logging, metrics, pre/post-checks), enabling proactive operations.
  • Codify runbooks into reusable tools/CLIs, Git-backed workflows, and pipelines for our operations teams.
  • Champion DevOps best practices—version control, peer reviews, testing, security-by-default, secrets management, and continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with platform engineering, security, and operations to prioritize automation that reduces toil and MTTR.

What You'll Bring:

  • CI/CD Pipelines: Building and maintaining pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, OpenShift, Kubernetes) for apps, automation, and IaC.
  • Programming & Scripting:Python (primary), Powershell and Bash on Linux for automation and tooling.
  • Azure Cloud or OpenShift: Hands-on experience deploying and operating services on cloud environments such as Azure or OpenShift
  • DevOps Fundamentals: Git, branching strategies, code reviews, automated testing, artifact/version management, and release strategies.
  • Operations at Scale: Building automation that is idempotent, resilient, auditable, and observable.
  • API Development: Designing and implementing robust, secure APIs for operational workflows.
  • Experience with RBAC, policy enforcement, and Azure Key Vault for secrets management.
  • Familiarity with containers/Kubernetes and how automation integrates with platform services (helpful but not required).
