Build and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps Pipelines for application, infrastructure, and platform workloads.
Administer and optimize Azure DevOps services, including Azure Repos, Pipelines, Artifacts, Boards, and service connections.
Partner with engineering teams to improve build, release, and deployment workflows across microservices and cloud-native applications
Implement robust observability across systems using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and related monitoring tooling.
Strengthen platform security by integrating secrets management, policy enforcement, vulnerability scanning, and least-privilege access controls.
Manage and optimize containerized environments using Kubernetes, Helm, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
Drive reliability engineering practice, including incident responses, root cause analysis, SLO thinking, and automated remediation, where appropriate.
- Standardize reusable templates, modules, and platform patterns that improve developer productivity and consistency.
Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership on Azure architecture, deployment automation, release governance, and DevSecOps practices.
What We Are Looking For
- Strong experience with Azure DevOps and CI/CD pipeline design for multiple application stacks and deployment patterns.
- Deep hands-on expertise with Microsoft Azure, including compute, networking, identity, storage, monitoring, and security services
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Bicep, ARM, or equivalent automation frameworks.
- Proficiency with containers and orchestration platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes, preferably with AKS experience.
- Experience with scripting and automation using Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar languages.
- Solid understanding of source control workflows, package management, artifact promotion, and release strategies.
- Experience implementing observability, logging, alerting, and operational dashboards for production systems.
- Strong understanding of cloud security, IAM, secrets management, compliance controls, and secure software delivery practices.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence technical direction across teams.
What Would Be Nice to Have
Experience with GitHub, SonarQube, Nexus Repository, or software supply chain security tooling.
Familiarity with multi-cloud environments and migration patterns from AWS or on-premises platforms
Exposure to policy-as-code, platform engineering, developer portals, or internal developer platform concepts.
Experience supporting regulated or enterprise-scale environments with strong governance requirements.

What We Do
The Sonatype journey started almost 15 years ago, just as the concept of “open source” software development was gaining steam. From our humble beginning as core contributors to Apache Maven, to supporting the world’s largest repository of open source components (Central), to distributing the world's most popular repository manager (Nexus), we’ve played a meaningful role in helping the world embrace the power of open innovation. We empower developers and security professionals with intelligent tools to innovate more securely at scale. Our platform addresses every element of an organization’s entire software development life cycle, including third-party open source code, first-party source code, and containerized code. Sonatype identifies critical security vulnerabilities and code quality issues and reports results directly to developers when they can most effectively fix them. This helps organizations develop consistently high-quality, secure software which fully meets their business needs and those of their end-customers and partners. More than 2,000 organizations, including 70% of the Fortune 100, and 15 million software developers rely on our tools and guidance to help them deliver and maintain exceptional and secure software.
Why Work With Us
We're on a mission to change how the world innovates by making software development easier. Already used by 15 million developers, we have lofty goals for our technology to be in the hands of every engineering team. And, we need you to do that. Join us!
