[Hiring] Engineer, Development Operations @Navitus Health Solutions

Role Description

The Engineer, Development Operations (DevOps) is responsible for designing and implementing secure, scalable, and automated cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and various Infrastructure-as-Code tools. This role focuses on enabling efficient software delivery, enforcing DevSecOps practices, and supporting microservices, data workflows, and machine learning environments. The Engineer collaborates closely with development, data, and security teams to ensure high availability, observability, rapid software delivery, and compliance across cloud-native platforms.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with application development teams to optimize build, test, and deployment workflows, reducing cycle time and increasing release frequency.
• Architect, implement, and optimize multi-stage CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps (YAML, Environments, Templates, Deployment Groups) and GitHub Actions for cross-service deployments across microservices and data workflows.
• Manage and optimize use of package repositories (e.g., Azure Artifacts, GitHub Packages, NuGet, npm), ensuring artifact integrity, traceability, and lifecycle control.
• IT Governance of code release lifecycle, supporting semantic versioning, automated tagging, and changelog generation in CI/CD workflows.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, Bicep, and ARM templates, enforcing modular reusable patterns, policy-as-code, and guardrails via Azure Policy, BluePrints, and Management Groups.
• Evaluate, integrate, and manage the full DevOps toolchain (build servers, artifact repositories, dependency scanners, secrets managers, etc.) to maintain delivery agility.
• Design and deliver secure, scalable cloud-native architectures using App Services, AKS, Azure SQL, Functions, and API Management, aligning with PaaS-first principles and Well-Architected Framework standards.
• Use pipeline analytics and deployment telemetry to identify bottlenecks, reduce build/test times, and improve developer feedback loops.
• Enable full-stack observability with Log Analytics, Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and KQL-based dashboards, supporting SLA/SLO instrumentation, synthetic monitoring, and real-time alerting.
• Implement shift-left testing strategies, supporting unit, integration, and performance testing automation directly within pipelines.
• Apply DevSecOps practices in the CI/CD lifecycle, including integration of SAST, DAST, secrets scanning, code signing, and artifact provenance validation using Snyk, CredScan, OWASP ZAP, and Aqua Security.
• Integrate infrastructure validation into the delivery process via tools such as Pester, Inspec, or Terratest.
• Lead containerization and deployment strategies using Docker, Helm, and AKS, supporting multi-tenant clusters, network isolation, pod security policies, and auto-scaling.
• Implement blue-green, canary, and ring deployments for applications and APIs using traffic routing, feature flags, and deployment slots.
• Build self-service platforms and reusable DevOps tooling to streamline developer onboarding, environment provisioning, and deployment configuration.
• Maintain golden pipeline templates and DevOps starter kits to standardize delivery across teams.
• Conduct failure mode analysis, RCA, and resilience engineering using Azure Chaos Studio, Availability Zones, and Auto-healing logic tied into Application Health Probes.
• Maintain architectural runbooks, deployment documentation, and operational SOPs, ensuring compliance with audit trails and change management standards.
• Partner with software and data analytics teams to support deployment of data pipelines, Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse, and Event Grid/Event Hub integrations.
• Enable infrastructure and DevOps support for machine learning, ETL, analytics, and data lake environments, ensuring secure service access, RBAC, and cost controls.
• Support self-service enablement for developers and data teams via pipeline templates, service connection governance, and shared agent pools.
• Serve as a Tier 2/3 escalation for platform-related issues, coordinating closely with infrastructure and security teams.
• Operate within an ITSM framework, contributing to incident, change, and problem management practices.
• Use Jira Service Management to triage, track, and respond to infrastructure-related work items, automation requests, and deployment support.
• Participate in, adhere to and support compliance and diversity, equity, and inclusion program objectives.
• Other duties as assigned.
