We are seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to support a time-critical backend migration of a live application.

The backend is being migrated from Azure Functions to Azure Web App Service for security compliance reasons. You must be comfortable independently auditing and reverse-engineering a live Azure environment before any migration work begins.

You will be embedded in a cross-functional pod with our Australian team and the backend development team, owning all infrastructure, CI/CD, and deployment concerns end-to-end.

Key Responsibilities

• Audit and assess the existing Azure infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and security configuration, working independently without documentation or legacy agency support.
• Provision and manage Azure Web App Service environments across development, staging, and production.
• Extend or adapt existing CI/CD pipelines to support the migrated architecture.
• Support the backend team with deployment automation, environment parity, and secrets management.
• Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and logging across all environments.
• Lead the production cutover with a zero-downtime strategy and rollback procedures in place.
• Produce infrastructure documentation and runbooks for client handover.

Required Skills and Experience

• Cloud: Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure - App Service, Functions, Networking, Key Vault, and Storage.
• Legacy Auditing: Proven ability to audit and assess existing cloud infrastructure without documentation or agency handover, and adapt it rather than rebuild unnecessarily.

• Production Migration: Demonstrated experience executing live production migrations with rollback strategies and minimal downtime.
• IaC: Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Bicep, ARM templates, or Terraform (Azure-focused).
• Security: Understanding of cloud security best practices, particularly for compliance-sensitive or government applications.
• Monitoring: Experience with Azure Monitor, Application Insights, or equivalent observability tooling.
• General Dev: Experience with version control systems (Git) and Agile development methodologies.

Desirable Skills and Experience

• Communications: Fluency in spoken English is desirable. Fluency in written English is essential.
• Containerization: Experience with Docker and container-based deployments on Azure.
• Authentication: Experience configuring Azure Active Directory B2C for identity and access management.
• Secrets Management: Experience with Azure Key Vault for secrets and certificate management.
• Networking: Familiarity with Azure Virtual Networks, Private Endpoints, and API Management (APIM).
