DevOps Engineer (George) at Datafin Recruitment

ENVIRONMENT:

• Our client is migrating from Azure DevOps to GitHub Enterprise as part of a larger platform modernisation. They are implementing GitHub Actions, infrastructure as code, automated security scanning, and proper environment management.
• They need a DevOps Engineer to build the CI/CD platform, the infrastructure automation, and the security tooling that makes fast, safe delivery possible.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design and build CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions that become the standard for all teams
• Implement infrastructure as code using Terraform or Bicep for all Azure resources
• Automate environment provisioning so developers can spin up feature environments without filing tickets
• Integrate security scanning into pipelines: SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, secret detection
• Roll out GitHub Advanced Security and establish policies that actually get followed
• Manage secrets properly with Azure Key Vault and ensure nothing sensitive ends up in repos
• Create deployment strategies (blue-green, canary) that enable zero-downtime releases
• Build automated rollback capabilities because things will go wrong and they need to recover fast
• Maintain IIS configuration standards (yes, they still have Windows workloads)
• Document pipeline patterns and create reusable templates that teams actually want to use
• Migrate CI/CD pipelines from Azure Devops to GitHub Actions
• Maintain a list of all CI/CD pipelines and their purpose
• Maintain integrations to Static code analysis tools
