Responsibilities

The role involves comprehensive environment management, including provisioning, configuring, and maintaining the Astral environment estate across development, test, UAT/load, and production stages. Ensuring environments are consistent, reproducible, and well-documented through infrastructure as code practices is crucial. Managing environment refreshes and test data in compliance with data protection policies is part of the duties. Building, maintaining, and continuously improving Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines is key, with a focus on artifact management, controlled build configurations, pipeline variables, and automated quality and security gates. Consolidating individual client pipelines into a unified deployment process as the platform evolves to multi-tenancy is also expected. Deployment planning and execution, including rehearsed rollback procedures and supporting product go-lives, are essential responsibilities, alongside maintaining a clear release calendar. Ownership of security protocols includes secrets and certificate management via Azure Key Vault, managed identities, role-based access control, and platform patching, in collaboration with IT security teams. Monitoring the platform’s health and reliability through observability tools, managing backups, disaster recovery tests, and leading incident response activities are vital for maintaining system stability. Cost management involves monitoring and optimizing Azure spend, right-sizing resources, and reporting on cost drivers. Maintaining up-to-date documentation, runbooks, environment configurations, and knowledge sharing within the team ensures operational resilience. Active participation in Scrum ceremonies, the wider Product Engineering community, and team events promotes collaboration and continuous improvement. Providing prompt support to engineers for environment and pipeline needs is also part of the role.
