Equivalent depth in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI with demonstrated ability to pick up Azure DevOps is acceptable. * Containerization and orchestration in production (Docker and Kubernetes). * Scripting and automation in Python and PowerShell or Bash. * Experience deploying into hybrid environments, not cloud-only. Firewalled targets, private connectivity, and on-premise servers should be familiar territory. * Demonstrated ownership of production systems - on-call, incident response, and measurable reliability improvement. Preferred * MLOps experience: Azure Machine Learning, model registries and inference endpoints, GPU capacity management, or LLMOps including prompt and evaluation versioning and token cost management. * Experience supporting enterprise business systems - ERP, PLM, CPQ, MES, or integration middleware - and realistic expectations about what CI/CD looks like for commercial platforms. * Manufacturing or industrial environment experience, including OT network segmentation and plant cybersecurity practices. * Data platform operations: [Data Factory / Fabric], warehouse or lakehouse infrastructure, orchestration and pipeline reliability. * FinOps practice - cloud cost visibility, allocation, and optimization. * Azure certifications (AZ-400, AZ-104/305, or AI-102) and Kubernetes certifications (CKA). * Experience being an early platform hire and establishing standards rather than inheriting them. * Production infrastructure-as-code experience with [Terraform / Bicep], including managing multiple environments and state responsibly. ## Description * Azure DevOps as a platform - organization and project structure, YAML pipelines, repositories and branch policies, artifact feeds, service connections, environments, and self-hosted agent pools including agents inside plant and DMZ networks. * Build deployment paths for the systems we actually run. Microservices are the easy case; you will also need controlled, repeatable release processes for integration artifacts, API layers, and configuration for COTS platforms ([CPQ], [PLM], [ERP], [MES]) that do not deploy like modern applications. * Design approval gates, change records, and audit evidence appropriate to systems that control what gets manufactured and shipped, without turning every deployment into a two-week ceremony. * Plan and execute deployments around production reality - maintenance windows, shift schedules, quarter-end order volume, and the fact that the factory does not stop for a release. Azure platform * Manage infrastructure as code across all environments. Manual portal changes are a defect, not a workflow. * Manage the estate: Functions, Azure SQL and storage, Service Bus and Event Hubs, API Management, and the data platform * Networking and identity - VNets, private endpoints, hub-and-spoke topology, [ExpressRoute / site-to-site VPN] connectivity to plants, Entra ID, managed identities, Key Vault, and RBAC. * Manage hybrid and edge footprint, including [Azure Arc] for on-premise servers and [IoT Edge / IoT Hub] where shop floor systems require local resilience and cannot depend on WAN availability. * Own environment strategy and lifecycle: dev, test, UAT, and production; environment refresh and provisioning; and test data management including masking of customer, pricing, and design data. Build the AI platform * Stand up and operate [Azure Machine Learning / Azure AI Foundry] - workspaces, compute and GPU capacity, model registry, and managed inference endpoints. * Manage Azure OpenAI and model provider access: provisioning, quota and throughput planning, private networking, content filtering configuration, and key and identity management. * Extend CI/CD to AI workloads - versioning for models, prompts, and datasets; automated evaluation as a pipeline gate so a regression blocks a release the same way a failing unit test does; and reliable rollback. * Build observability for AI in production: latency, error and abstention rates, token consumption, drift signals, and per-feature cost attribution. * Deploy inference where it needs to run, including on-premise or edge at plants where latency, connectivity, or data policy rules out a cloud round trip. * Own AI cost management. Make spend attributable and forecastable, and raise the trade-offs early rather than at invoice time. Reliability and security * Build monitoring and alerting that reflects business impact rather than resource metrics - a stalled BOM release matters more than CPU utilization. Own SLOs, dashboards, and incident response for production systems. * Drive incident management and blameless postmortems, and convert findings into platform changes. * Own security posture in the pipeline and the estate: secrets management, vulnerability and dependency scanning, container image hygiene, SBOM generation, and patch management coordination - including OT environments where patching windows are constrained. * Partner with IT, OT, and information security on segmentation, access control, and compliance requirements for plant-connected systems. Improve how the team ships * Reduce friction and toil deliberately. Self-service environments, golden pipeline templates, and good documentation are deliverables, not side effects. * Mentor engineers on deployment, observability, and operational ownership of what they build. ## Related Videos - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Back(end) to the Future: Embracing the continuous Evolution of Infrastructure and Code](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/440-back-end-to-the-future-embracing-the-continuous-evolution-of-infrastructure-and-code) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
