Senior Azure DevOps Engineer

Helixbeat builds products and platforms across healthcare, HR/payroll, visitor management, and payments—powering secure, compliant, high-scale experiences. We're expanding our cloud platform team to raise the bar on reliability, speed, and security.

You'll own the Azure cloud pipeline—from IaC to production reliability—for microservices used by thousands of end users. You'll partner with Engineering, Security, and QA to deliver fast, safe, auditable releases (think: AKS, Terraform/Bicep, zero-downtime deploys, and tight observability).

A DevOps Engineer is responsible for:

• Automating infrastructure: Developing and maintaining infrastructure automation tools and scripts to enable smooth deployment processes.
• Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD): Setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that allow code to be automatically tested, deployed, and updated.
• Monitoring and logging: Implementing tools to monitor applications and systems in real-time, ensuring performance, and resolving issues quickly.
• Cloud Management: Managing cloud infrastructure on platforms like AWS, Azure (Preferred) , or Google Cloud and ensuring scalability, security, and performance of the systems.
• Collaboration: Working closely with developers, system admins, and other IT teams to improve collaboration and eliminate bottlenecks in the software development lifecycle.
• Incident response: Managing incidents, troubleshooting issues, and minimizing downtime for applications or infrastructure.
• Security: Implementing security best practices within development pipelines and ensuring compliance with relevant standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).

Key Responsibilities

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
• Automating infrastructure provisioning and configuration using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation.
• CI/CD Pipeline Setup:
• Creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Bitbucket CI, Circle CI, or other tools to ensure rapid, reliable deployment of software.
• Automation and Scripting:
• Writing scripts to automate manual tasks (in Bash, Python, or Ruby) to streamline operations, reduce human error, and improve system efficiency.
• Monitoring & Alerting:
• Implementing and managing monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or Datadog) to track performance and availability.
• Setting up alerts and incident management processes to react quickly to system failures.
• Version Control Management:
• Managing version control systems like Bitbucket, ensuring that best practices like branching and pull requests are followed.
• Containerization & Orchestration:
• Working with container technologies like Docker and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes to ensure scalability and flexibility in application deployment.
• Security Integration:
• Implementing security features into the DevOps process, such as secure code scanning, vulnerability management, and adherence to compliance standards.
• Cloud Infrastructure:
• Managing cloud services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) including load balancing, networking, and storage management to support dynamic scaling and performance requirements.
• Collaboration with Development Teams:
• Assisting developers with infrastructure and deployment needs, providing feedback on infrastructure, and promoting best practices for cloud-native applications.
• Troubleshooting and Support:
• Providing ongoing support to resolve system issues, debug infrastructure problems, and maintain high system availability.

Key Tools and Technologies:

• Automation: Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Terraform
• CI/CD: Jenkins, GitLab, CircleCI, Travis CI
• Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes
• Cloud Providers: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud
• Monitoring: Prometheus, ELK Stack, Grafana, Datadog
• Scripting Languages: Python, Bash, Ruby

What You'll Bring (Required)

• 7+ years in DevOps/SRE, 3+ years deep on Azure.
• Production experience with AKS, Azure DevOps Pipelines, Container Registry, Key Vault, VNet/Private Link, App Gateway/Front Door.
• Strong Terraform (or Bicep) IaC patterns (modules, workspaces, pipelines, policy as code).
• Kubernetes operations: Helm/Kustomize, HPA, pod security, ingress/WAF, secrets, troubleshooting.
• CI/CD for microservices (Docker, caching, artifacts, rollbacks, approvals, environments).
• Security fundamentals: identity, secrets, scanning, compliance logging, change control.
• Observability: metrics, logs, traces; root-cause analysis and incident management.

Nice to Have

• Regulated industry experience (healthcare/PHI, HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR).
• Databases at scale (Azure Postgres Flexible Server, Azure SQL), caching (Redis).
• Messaging/eventing (Service Bus/Event Hubs), data pipelines.
• Python/Django and/or Node/Go service delivery; Flutter mobile CI.
• Bitbucket Advanced Security, OIDC to Azure, Argo Rollouts/Flux, Backstage.
