Job Description:

Define a standard reference architecture for customer on-prem deployments, with a small set of supported variations.

• Automate server provisioning end-to-end - for self-hosted Dev/QA servers and for customer production environments - replacing today's fully manual server setup with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Ansible/PowerShell DSC or equivalent).

• Automate environment-to-environment software upgrades (application + SQL Server + MongoDB + RabbitMQ) so that a release flows Dev QA customer production via pipelines, not manual steps.

• Own Azure DevOps Pipelines for build, test, scan, package, release, and rollback.

• Drive containerization maturity (Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes) and decide the right footprint for our product.

• Bring creative automation ideas (self-service portals, ChatOps, GitOps, golden images, one-click installers for customer sites) and put governance around them - change control, approvals, audit trails, environment policies, role-based access.

• Stand up monitoring and alerting across Dev, QA, and customer production (CPU/memory, service uptime, server health, DB growth, RabbitMQ queues).

• Establish a security audit program: vulnerability scanning, SAST/DAST/SCA, image scanning, secrets management, server/DB/broker hardening.

• Transition DevOps to a ticketing-based service model with defined SLAs; enforce structured intake; reduce direct-message-driven work.

• Translate customer needs into technical requirements; act as the senior customer-facing technical voice for DevSecOps.

• Hire, mentor, and lead the UK and India seniors; act in an interim product/strategy capacity until the team structure matures.

• Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell DSC, or similar) for automated server provisioning.

• SQL Server, MongoDB, RabbitMQ - automated deployments, upgrades, backups.

• Containerization: Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes.

• Security: vulnerability mgmt, SAST/DAST/SCA, image scanning, secrets vaults, hardening, audit readiness.

• Monitoring/observability: Prometheus/Grafana, Azure Monitor, ELK, Datadog, or equivalent.

• Setting up ticket-based service models and SLAs (Azure Boards, Jira Service Management, ServiceNow).
