Application Developer - Devops
Summary
A DevOps/Azure Architect role (fixed-term, hybrid, Sandton, Johannesburg) designing secure, scalable Azure cloud-native architectures, running DevSecOps CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure as code (Bicep/ARM/Terraform), and modernizing enterprise API platforms with Azure APIM, monitoring, and zero-trust security practices.
We are seeking a highly skilled Dev Ops / Azure Architect to lead the design, implementation, and governance of secure cloud-native architectures on Microsoft Azure. The role will be instrumental in driving secure Dev Ops practices, infrastructure automation, and enterprise-grade API platform modernization (including Azure API Management).
The ideal candidate will combine deep Azure architecture expertise with strong Dev Sec Ops practices, ensuring scalability, resilience, and security by design.
Key Responsibilities- Design secure, scalable, and high-availability Azure architectures.
- Architect solutions using Azure APIM, App Services, Functions, AKS, Service Bus, and related services.
- Implement multi-region and disaster recovery strategies.
- Define landing zones and governance models aligned with enterprise standards.
- Implement Dev Sec Ops practices across CI/CD pipelines.
- Integrate security controls into build and deployment workflows.
- Automate infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Bicep / ARM / Terraform).
- Embed security scanning tools (SAST, DAST, container scanning, dependency checks).
- Implement secure release management and environment promotion strategies.
- Design zero-trust architecture patterns.
- Implement secure API gateway configurations (Azure APIM policies).
- Ensure compliance with OWASP API Security Top 10.
- Manage certificate lifecycle, m TLS, and key vault integration.
- Define cloud security posture management practices.
- Architect CI/CD pipelines using Azure Dev Ops or Git Hub Actions.
- Implement blue-green / canary deployment strategies.
- Enable automated policy validation for APIs.
- Design pipeline governance and approval gates.
- Implement Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, ELK, Prometheus and Grafana
- Define logging, tracing, and alerting strategies.
- Enable proactive anomaly detection and SLA monitoring.
- Azure APIM (architecture & policy configuration)
- Azure APIM (architecture & policy configuration)
- Azure AD / Entra ID
- Azure App Services / Functions
- AKS (preferred)
- Azure Key Vault
- Azure Networking (VNet, NSG, Private Endpoints)
- Dev Sec Ops implementation experience
- CI/CD pipeline security
- SAST/DAST tools integration
- Identity & access management
- Secure coding practices
- API security frameworks
- Azure Dev Ops / Git Hub Actions
- Infrastructure as Code (Bicep / ARM / Terraform)
