DevOps Engineer (George)
Description
ENVIRONMENT Our client is migrating from Azure DevOps to GitHub Enterprise as part of a larger platform modernisation. They are implementing GitHub Actions, infrastructure as code, automated security scanning, and proper environment management. They need a DevOps Engineer to build the CI/CD platform, the infrastructure automation, and the security tooling that makes fast, safe delivery possible.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Design and build CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions that become the standard for all teams

Implement infrastructure as code using Terraform or Bicep for all Azure resources

Automate environment provisioning so developers can spin up feature environments without filing tickets

Integrate security scanning into pipelines: SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, secret detection

Roll out GitHub Advanced Security and establish policies that actually get followed

Manage secrets properly with Azure Key Vault and ensure nothing sensitive ends up in repos

Create deployment strategies (blue-green, canary) that enable zero-downtime releases

Build automated rollback capabilities because things will go wrong and they need to recover fast

Maintain IIS configuration standards (yes, they still have Windows workloads)

Document pipeline patterns and create reusable templates that teams actually want to use

Migrate CI/CD pipelines from Azure Devops to GitHub Actions

Maintain a list of all CI/CD pipelines and their purpose

Maintain integrations to Static code analysis tools

Strong GitHub Actions experience (or Azure DevOps with willingness to transition)

Infrastructure as code fluency: Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates

Deep Azure knowledge across compute, networking, and security services
