We are seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to support a time-critical backend migration of a live application.
The backend is being migrated from Azure Functions to Azure Web App Service for security compliance reasons. You must be comfortable independently auditing and reverse-engineering a live Azure environment before any migration work begins.
You will be embedded in a cross-functional pod with our Australian team and the backend development team, owning all infrastructure, CI/CD, and deployment concerns end-to-end.
Key Responsibilities
Audit and assess the existing Azure infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and security configuration, working independently without documentation or legacy agency support.
Provision and manage Azure Web App Service environments across development, staging, and production.
Extend or adapt existing CI/CD pipelines to support the migrated architecture.
Support the backend team with deployment automation, environment parity, and secrets management.
Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and logging across all environments.
Lead the production cutover with a zero-downtime strategy and rollback procedures in place.
Produce infrastructure documentation and runbooks for client handover.
