- Triage production incidents, drive timely resolution, and document root cause findings; participate in operational cycles and maintenance readiness checks.
Compliance, Data Flows & Cost Awareness
- Consider PCI or comparable regulatory requirements when evaluating system behavior, logging, and integrations.
- Understand end-to-end data flows across tolling systems (e.g., roadway data, financial transactions, reporting) and support optimization of integrations.
- Contribute to cloud cost visibility and optimization recommendations; align operational choices with governance and budget goals.
Collaboration & Communication
- Partner with architects, developers, DBAs, and engineers to align deployments with secure network and identity configurations; communicate clearly with stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps CI/CD (YAML & Classic).
- Azure application deployment engineering (e.g., App Services, Functions, Containers, APIs).
- Secure secrets & key management (Azure Key Vault, RBAC, managed identities).

- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates).
- Scripting & automation (PowerShell and/or Python).
- Experience with Azure administration/engineering in production environments.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience designing CI/CD standards or DevOps frameworks for microservices.
- Containerization & orchestration (Docker, AKS); registry-integrated build and release pipelines.
- Governance & compliance automation (Azure Policy, RBAC standards, pipeline guardrails).
- Experience with PCI or similar compliance frameworks.
- Exposure to cloud cost analysis and optimization in enterprise environments.
