Dev Ops Manager - Azure

Job Description We are looking for an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to support production readiness and deployment of an Agentic Executive Scorecard. The client already operates a proven CI/CD process, so this is a deliberately specialist role rather than a traditional end-to-end DevOps position: the primary focus is defining and implementing how the application itself is deployed — most likely to an Azure Container App or a Databricks App - and ensuring its microservice-style components are packaged, deployed, monitored and operated reliably within the client's existing platform, CI/CD and governance standards. The ideal candidate has strong hands-on experience developing and deploying containerised, microservice-type applications, and is comfortable integrating into an established enterprise CI/CD pipeline rather than building one from scratch. Responsibilities - Define and implement the deployment architecture for the application, most likely an Azure Container App or a Databricks App, in collaboration with the client's IT team - Package and deploy microservice-style application components (APIs, orchestration services, front-end) as containerised workloads - Integrate deployments into the client's existing CI/CD pipelines and promotion process, rather than building CI/CD from scratch - Configure environment separation, scaling, networking and secrets management appropriate to the chosen deployment target - Implement production monitoring, logging and alerting to take the solution reliably through Dev/Test/Prod - Work closely with Software Engineers and the Lead AI Engineer to ensure backend, orchestration and front-end components are deployment-ready - Support non-functional testing, release readiness, and path-to-production activities alongside the QA Engineer - Define operational controls for reliability, performance and incident response once in production - Support secure access patterns and role-based controls aligned with the client's platform and governance requirements - Contribute to technical documentation, handover materials, and knowledge transfer for ongoing operations
