• Deploy & Streamline: Implement and manage end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using tools like Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions to ensure smooth and reliable releases.

• Deliver & Optimize: Take ownership of our platform’s reliability and performance. You will monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize infrastructure for security and cost-efficiency, using tools like Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights.

What You Bring to the Team:

• A deep understanding of Azure core services (Compute, Storage, Networking, AAD).

• Proven hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and/or ARM templates.

• Proficiency in designing and managing CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions.

• Expertise in implementing monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights.

• Strong scripting and automation skills in PowerShell, Python, or Bash.

• Solid knowledge of networking and security best practices within Azure.

Location & Travel:

This is a remote position, offering the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, preference will be given to candidates based in the Western Cape, as the role requires travel to the beautiful Garden Route on a monthly basis for key team collaborations and meetings.
