• Contribute to the development of tools and automation that streamline the developer workflow, utilizing Azure services and tools where appropriate.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines that adhere to GitOps best practices, enabling automated and secure deployments with full traceability and rollback capabilities.
• Gather feedback from developers on the platform's usability and identify areas for improvement in the developer experience.
• Design and implement features that enhance the platform's DevX, such as intuitive user interfaces, helpful documentation, and efficient workflows.
• Advocate for DevX considerations in collaboration with infrastructure-focused platform engineers, ensuring that developer needs and preferences are prioritized in the platform's design and implementation.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical documentation, ensuring clarity and accuracy in describing Azure-specific implementations.
• Continuously learn and adapt to new technologies and challenges in the ever-evolving world of platform engineering, with a focus on staying current with Azure advancements and best practices.

Requirements

YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

• Strong understanding of both infrastructure and software engineering principles, with a focus on cloud-native development and deployment methodologies.
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., Go, C#, JS).
• Experience with software development lifecycle (SDLC) and agile methodologies, with a focus on secure development practices and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD).
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills, with experience in troubleshooting and resolving issues in cloud-based applications.
• Ability to learn and adapt to new technologies quickly, particularly in the rapidly evolving cloud landscape.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience in working effectively with cross-functional teams in a cloud environment.
• Understanding of user experience (UX) and developer experience (DevX) principles, with a focus on designing and building user-friendly cloud-based tools and platforms.
• Experience with GitOps principles and tools, such as FluxCD or GitHub Actions, for managing and deploying cloud infrastructure and applications.
• Experience with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code principles, with a focus on Azure deployments.
