What you'll do

• Design, maintain and continuously improve pipelines covering the full delivery lifecycle for the Node.js, TypeScript and React codebase.
• Support the development team when pipelines break or releases go wrong, and embed automated testing, regression coverage, reproducible builds and useful documentation into the workflow.
• Build automation and AI-driven operations, including intelligent alerting, automated remediation and generated runbooks, to reduce repeated manual tasks.
• Own the day-to-day health and long-term evolution of the internal Azure environment: Kubernetes workloads, data services, storage, networking and identity systems.
• Maintain the connection between cloud and lab, keeping Linux hosts and hardware systems connected and operational.
• Work with network and cybersecurity teams to design and harden the external Azure subscription, including zero-trust access, network segmentation, secrets management, private endpoints and audit logging.

What you'll need

• 4+ years of hands-on experience with Azure DevOps and cloud infrastructure, including ownership of production environments.
• Strong experience with YAML pipelines, Repos, Artifacts, self-hosted build agents, Git workflows and release management, including deployment across development, test and production, versioning and rollback.
• Practical experience deploying, operating and troubleshooting production workloads using Docker and Helm on Kubernetes/AKS, including configuration, networking, storage, scaling and upgrades.
• Experience managing compute, storage, virtual networks, DNS, firewalls and connectivity between cloud and on-premises environments.
• Experience creating repeatable infrastructure deployments using Terraform, Bicep or equivalent tools.
• Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting across services, processes, permissions, networking, storage and shared file systems such as NFS.
• Ability to write maintainable automation using Python, Bash, PowerShell or similar languages.

• Ability to drive infrastructure improvements from design through production, document decisions and work effectively with developers, IT and security teams.

Nice to have

• Experience securing and operating customer-facing or external-user cloud environments.
• Experience with hybrid platforms connecting cloud services to physical hardware, lab systems or FPGA environments.
• Experience managing both Linux and Windows build agents and their dependencies.
• Practical use of AI-assisted engineering or AIOps tools for automation, troubleshooting, incident analysis or operational improvement.
