DevOps Engineer (George)

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

REQUIREMENTS:

What You Bring

• You've been the person responsible for CI/CD at a previous company. You know what works and what doesn't
• 5+ years in DevOps, platform engineering, or similar roles
• 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
• Scripting skills: PowerShell, Bash, and CLI tools
• Understanding of .NET build and deployment processes
• You believe security is everyone's job, not just the security team's

Education

• Degree or Diploma in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Relevant certifications in cloud platforms, DevOps, or infrastructure automation (Azure preferred) will be advantageous.
• Equivalent practical experience in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud platforms will be considered.

Nice to Have

• GitHub Advanced Security certification or deep experience
