Azure DevOps Engineer (78185)
Centurion is proud to be a leading provider of comprehensive healthcare services to correctional facilities, state hospitals, and community mental health centers nationwide.
Role Summary
The Azure DevOps Engineer is a senior technical leader responsible for designing and evolving the organization’s DevOps delivery approach across Azure environments. This role leads complex and ambiguous troubleshooting, defines and enforces pipeline and IaC standards, and drives measurable improvements in deployment reliability, security, and operational maturity. The Tier 3 engineer mentors other engineers, leads cross-team initiatives, and ensures that CI/CD, Terraform, and Ansible implementations scale securely and consistently.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and standardize CI/CD pipeline frameworks in GitHub Enterprise Actions (templates, reusable workflows, governance patterns).
- Lead design and implementation of advanced deployment strategies (progressive delivery approaches, environment promotion controls, rollback standards).
- Establish Terraform module strategy (versioning, testing/validation, structure conventions) and lead modernization of IaC patterns for scale.
- Drive Ansible strategy for configuration management (role standards, inventory structure, secrets practices, drift prevention patterns).
- Serve as escalation lead for high-impact pipeline/deployment failures and complex Azure operational issues involving VMs, AKS, and App Services.
- Define observability standards for deployments and platform health using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics; ensure alerts are meaningful and reduce noise.
- Lead DevSecOps integration maturity (policy and controls embedded into pipelines, consistent enforcement of secure delivery practices).
- Partner across engineering, infrastructure, and security functions to streamline release processes and remove systemic bottlenecks.
- Mentor Tier 1–2 engineers; raise team capability through coaching, design reviews, and improved documentation/runbooks.
Scope, Complexity & Impact
- Scope: Leads DevOps engineering across multiple products/teams and environments; owns standards and delivery frameworks, not just individual pipelines.
- Complexity: High; solves ambiguous, cross-domain issues spanning CI/CD, infrastructure automation, security controls, and runtime platform behavior.
- Impact: Delivers measurable reliability and security improvements; reduces deployment risk and time-to-release; multiplies the effectiveness of multiple teams by standardizing and removing toil.
- Autonomy: Operates with high independence; makes design decisions, sets standards, and drives cross-team alignment.
