We seek a skilled Azure DevOps Engineer with GitLab CI/CD platform support expertise to design, implement, and manage robust DevOps pipelines for a secure, scalable cloud environment. This role will focus on automating deployments, streamlining software delivery, and ensuring that all CI/CD processes align with regulatory compliance frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, and FedRAMP. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with GitLab CI/CD and Azure cloud infrastructure and strong problem-solving and collaboration skills. • Knowledge of Azure DevOps and hybrid setups integrating Azure DevOps and GitLab CI/CD. • Experience with container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and Docker. • Familiarity with multi-cloud or hybrid cloud deployments

Job Responsibilities:

  • CI/CD Pipeline Design and Management
  • Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using the GitLab CI/CD platform to support the full application build lifecycle, ensuring smooth integration and deployment of applications.
  • Develop and enforce best practices for source code management, branch strategies, and GitLab runner configurations.
  • Collaborate with development teams to identify key pipeline requirements and workflows, enabling continuous integration, automated testing, and efficient deployments.
  • Ensure pipelines are scalable, efficient, and capable of supporting parallel builds, automated rollbacks, and multi-environment deployments.
  • Azure Cloud Infrastructure Support
  • Manage and optimize cloud resources in Azure, including virtual machines, networking, and storage to support DevOps processes.
  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, ARM templates, or Bicep to automate the provisioning and management of Azure resources.
  • Collaborate with cloud architects to ensure CI/CD processes align with Azure Landing Zone (ALZ) principles.
  • Security and Compliance
  • Implement security practices within CI/CD pipelines, such as secret management, least-privilege access controls, and identity integration with Azure AD.
  • Implement Software Composition Analysis (SCA) &; SBOM Integration: Integrate and manage continuous scanning tools (e.g., OWASP Dependency Check, Dependency-Track, CycloneDX) to automatically detect and address vulnerable open-source dependencies and maintain accurate software bill of materials (SBOMs).
  • Implement Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Implement SAST tools (e.g., SonarQube, Checkmarx) within the CI/CD pipeline to detect security vulnerabilities, code smells, and compliance issues early in the development lifecycle.
  • Implement Container Security: Integrate container image scanning tools (e.g., Trivy, Aqua Security) to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in base images, configurations, and dependencies before production deployments.
  • Implement Secrets Detection and Management: Automate secrets detection and management using secure vaulting solutions (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, Azure Key Vault) to prevent hard-coded secrets and unauthorized access during builds.
  • Automated Compliance and Policy Enforcement: Implement automated compliance checks and enforce security policies directly within GitLab CI/CD pipelines, generating actionable reports to ensure adherence to standards like NIST SP 800-53, CMMC, and OWASP.
  • Monitoring and Optimization
  • Set up and manage GitLab monitoring, logging, and performance optimization tools.
  • Use tools like Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights to monitor deployment health and optimize pipeline performance.
  • Continuously improve pipeline efficiency and deployment speed while minimizing downtime.
  • Collaboration and Support
  • Work closely with development, QA, and security teams to integrate their workflows into the GitLab CI/CD process.
  • Provide technical support for developers and teams and assist with CI/CD Pipeline Troubleshooting: Investigate and resolve CI/CD pipeline issues, including build failures, deployment errors, or security-related blockages, to minimize downtime and disruption to development teams.
  • Provide Incident Response and Continuous Improvement: Lead root cause analysis and post-mortem reviews for CI/CD incidents and outages, documenting lessons learned and implementing process improvements to prevent future occurrences.
  • Provide Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with development, security, and operations teams to continuously enhance CI/CD workflows, addressing emerging security threats and optimizing delivery performance.
  • Automation and Integration
  • Develop and maintain automated deployment pipelines for containerized applications using Kubernetes and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
  • Integrate GitLab CI/CD with third-party testing, monitoring, and reporting tools.
  • Automate routine tasks like pipeline testing, artifact creation, and environment cleanups.
  • 5+ years in DevOps engineering roles, with 3+ years working with GitLab CI/CD.
  • Proven experience managing Azure cloud resources and implementing CI/CD pipelines for cloud-based applications

Skills:

  • Proficiency in Azure services, including virtual networks, storage accounts, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
