You will be the go-to expert for release engineering, security, observability, and standards. Key Responsibilities • Build and ship a CI/CD pipeline from scratch using GitHub Actions. • Architect multi-environment workflows (Dev/QA/Prod) with automated validation, deployment, smoke tests, and rollback. • Implement OIDC GitHub?Azure federation for passwordless deployments. • Package and deploy ADF artifacts using ARM/Bicep with environment parameterisation. • Centralise secrets in Azure Key Vault and enforce security best practices. • Set up telemetry, dashboards, and alerts for ADF runs. • Produce documentation, runbooks, and deliver training to BI Engineers for self-serve capability. What We're Looking For • Proven experience building CI/CD pipelines from zero to production. • Expert in GitHub Actions (environments, approvals, reusable actions, tagging). • Strong ADF automation skills: adf_publish, ARM/Bicep, linked services, triggers. • Knowledge of Azure RBAC, service principals, and Key Vault integration. • Excellent technical documentation and training delivery skills. • Familiarity with policy-as-code, JSON schema validation, and linting. Required Key Experience • Hands-on ADF automation: adf_publish, ARM/Bicep, environment parameterisation, linked services, self-hosted/managed IRs, trigger design. • GitHub Actions expert: environments, approvals, required checks, reusable/composite actions, artifacts, concurrency, release tagging. • Identity & Secrets: OIDC federation GitHub?Azure, service principals, Azure RBAC, Azure Key Vault references in ADF. • Proven record of building CI/CD from zero to first production release-solo or as the primary implementer. • Excellent technical writing and training delivery (docs, runbooks, workshops). • Policy-as-code (JSON schema validation for ARM), linting of ADF JSON, path filters. • Experience with GitHub self-hosted runners and autoscaling. • ADF performance/cost tuning (IR sizing, concurrency, retry/backoff). Responsibilities After Go-Live • Own release reliability and improvements (new checks, better alerts, faster rollbacks). • Run office hours, code reviews, and refresh training; maintain ADRs and standards. • Partner with Infra/Architecture/Security to evidence compliance, cost, and risk posture.
