Senior Azure DevOps Engineer
Manchester / Hybrid
£70,000
Multiple development teams. Different branching strategies, different release processes and too much engineering time spent troubleshooting delivery issues.
You’ll come in to change that.
This is a senior Azure DevOps role with genuine ownership. You’ll design and build the processes, pipelines and standards that bring development teams onto a consistent way of working. The foundations are there, but the CI/CD environment needs maturing. You’ll assess what currently exists, define what good looks like and build the templates and processes to take it forward.
What you’ll own
- Designing and building Azure DevOps pipelines using YAML
- Creating a consistent branching strategy across multiple development teams
- Improving and standardising release management processes
- Consolidating delivery tooling and processes within Azure DevOps
- Building reusable pipeline templates and deployment standards
- Developing mature CI/CD practices across development, test and production
- Working with engineering teams to implement and follow those standards
- Supporting teams through the transition and resolving pipeline and release issues
- Taking ownership from initial design through to implementation and continuous improvement

Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience with Bicep, Terraform or wider infrastructure tooling would be useful, but it isn’t the main focus.
We’re looking for someone whose experience is centred on Azure DevOps rather than a broad Platform Engineering or SRE remit.
You’ll be the person setting the direction, building the foundations and making delivery easier for every engineering team.
