- **Company:** XFORIA Inc
- **Location:** Only, United States (Remote available)
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Microsoft Azure, Identity and Access Management, Runbook
- **Published:** September 3, 2026

## About the Role

The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on ADO administration expertise with strong program/process design skills and the ability to translate messy, team-specific configurations into a governed, enterprise-ready structure that supports portfolio-level reporting, roadmapping, and resource planning.

## Description

Azure DevOps Engineer - Strategy and Setup
Long Term Contract
100% Remote, Audit existing ADO organizations, projects, teams, and boards to catalog current-state configurations, custom fields, work item types, and workflows.
Identify redundancies, inconsistencies, and gaps across teams (e.g., differing definitions of "Epic," "Feature," "Story," inconsistent state models, non-standard swimlanes).
Design a unified, scalable work item hierarchy and process template (e.g., standardized Epic * Feature * Story * Task structure) that balances team-level flexibility with organizational consistency.
Governance & Standards
Define and document ADO configuration standards: naming conventions, area/iteration path structures, tagging taxonomies, custom field usage, and permission models.
Establish a governance model for ongoing board creation, template changes, and access management to prevent future sprawl.
Create and maintain documentation, runbooks, and training materials for teams adopting the new structure
