Sr. DevOps Engineer (Azure) - St. Louis, MO (Hybrid)

Description

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own and modernize how we build, ship, and run software on Azure. You'll have real influence over our CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and reliability practices. You'll work directly with engineering, security, and leadership, with autonomy to fix what's slowing teams down. 

What You'll Do: 

CI/CD & Release Engineering 

• Own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines, making releases faster, safer, and more automated. 
• Drive Infrastructure as Code adoption (Terraform/Bicep) and environment consistency from dev to production. 
• Partner with developers to remove friction in builds, testing, and deployment. 
• Stand up visibility into build, release, and deployment metrics (e.g., DORA). 

Azure Platform & Infrastructure

• Operate our Azure environment across networking, identity, access control, and security. 
• Lead reliability, performance, and scalability improvements, including readiness for seasonal peak demand. 
• Drive cost optimization, right-sizing, and capacity planning. 

Reliability & Operations 

• Serve as the technical lead with our managed service provider (NOC/SOC) on monitoring, alerting, and incident response. 
• Shape escalation paths and lead incident reviews, root-cause analysis, and preventive fixes. 
• Document platform standards, configurations, and runbooks. 

What Success Looks Like (First Year) 

• Releases are routine and low-risk, with measurably fewer deployment and environment issues. 
• Infrastructure is defined in code and reproducible. 
• The platform handles peak periods without issue. 
• Incidents are caught early, escalated cleanly, and don't repeat. 

What You Bring 

• 6+ years in DevOps, platform, or cloud infrastructure engineering. 
• Deep hands-on Azure experience (compute, networking, identity, storage, security). 
• A track record of building and owning CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar).
