Job Description
The DevOps Engineer is a core technical role within the Zybisys Managed Cloud Services practice, responsible for
building, automating, and continuously improving the delivery pipelines, infrastructure provisioning workflows,
and operational automation across a complex multi-region Azure cloud and hybrid on-premises environment.
This role goes beyond traditional pipeline management. The DevOps Engineer at Zybisys is expected to drive an
automation-first culture across the operations team — eliminating manual toil through intelligent automation,
codifying infrastructure through IaC, enabling self-service provisioning, and ensuring every deployment and change
follows a consistent, repeatable, and auditable process. The ideal candidate is a builder who is equally comfortable
writing Terraform modules, designing release pipelines, and instrumenting infrastructure for observability.
Key Responsibilities
CI/CD Pipeline Design & Management
Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps for infrastructure provisioning,
configuration management, and application deployment workflows across multi-region Azure and
hybrid environments
Implement branching strategies, pipeline templates, and environment promotion workflows —
ensuring consistent progression from development through staging to production with appropriate
approval gates.
Build reusable pipeline templates and task libraries to standardise delivery patterns across all
managed infrastructure components — networking, compute, security platforms, and monitoring.
Integrate automated validation steps into pipelines: syntax checks, policy compliance scans (Azure
Policy, Checkov), security scanning, and post-deployment health verification.
Maintain pipeline health — monitor build failure rates, pipeline execution times, and flaky tests;
continuously tune pipelines for reliability and speed.Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Author and maintain Terraform modules for all managed Azure infrastructure components — VNets,
subnets, NSGs, VMs, storage accounts, App Gateways, Load Balancers, Azure Front Door, WAF
policies, and API Management.
Develop Ansible playbooks and roles for configuration management — OS hardening, package
installation, service configuration, and post-provisioning validation across Windows Server and Linux
environments.
Manage Terraform state — remote state backend design, state locking, workspace strategy for multi-
environment deployments, and state drift detection.
Write Azure ARM templates or Bicep files for platform-native deployments where Terraform
coverage is limited — Azure Monitor diagnostic settings, Policy assignments, and Marketplace
resource deployments.
Enforce IaC standards and code review practices — peer review all infrastructure code changes,
maintain module versioning, and manage the IaC repository structure and branching conventions.
Deployment Automation & Release Management
Automate end-to-end deployment workflows for infrastructure changes — from code commit
through validation, approval, deployment, and post-change health verification — aligned with the
ITSM change management process.
Build and maintain blue-green, canary, and rolling deployment strategies for managed platform
components; design rollback automation for rapid recovery from failed deployments.
Coordinate with L2 and Specialist Engineers on release scheduling, maintenance window automation,
and deployment sequencing to minimise service disruption.
Implement deployment readiness checks — pre-flight validation scripts that verify environment state,
dependency availability, and capacity before initiating any deployment.
Maintain a deployment audit trail — every pipeline run must produce a verifiable log of what
changed, who approved it, and what the post-change state is.
Operational Automation & Toil Elimination
Identify and automate repetitive manual operational tasks across L1 and L2 — routine health checks,
housekeeping jobs, certificate renewals, snapshot management, and scheduled maintenance
activities.
Build auto-remediation workflows triggered by monitoring alerts — self-healing scripts that can
restart failed services, reclaim disk space, rebalance loads, or escalate intelligently when automated
resolution is not possible.
Develop event-driven automation using Azure Automation, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, or
equivalent tools — triggered by platform events, ITSM tickets, or scheduled cadences.
Implement self-service provisioning workflows that allow operations teams to request and receive
standard infrastructure components without manual intervention from senior engineers.
Track and report toil reduction metrics — measure hours saved through automation and report
progress to the Cloud Strategy & Operations Head.Cloud Cost Optimisation Automation
Build automated cost governance workflows — tag compliance enforcement, idle resource detection
and alerting, oversized VM rightsizing recommendations, and reserved instance utilisation reporting.
Develop dashboards and scheduled reports using Azure Cost Management APIs and Power BI or
Grafana integrations to surface real-time cost visibility for operations and client stakeholders.
Implement automated budget alerts, anomaly detection, and cost spike notifications with actionable
context — identifying the specific resource, owner, and recommended action.
Automate FinOps housekeeping tasks — unattached disk cleanup, orphaned resource identification,
snapshot retention policy enforcement, and unused public IP release.
Observability as Code & Monitoring Automation
Manage Prometheus alerting rules, recording rules, and scrape configurations as code — versioned,
peer-reviewed, and deployed through CI/CD pipelines.
Build and maintain Grafana dashboards as code using Grafana provisioning or Terraform Grafana
provider — ensuring dashboards are version-controlled and reproducible across environments.
Automate Azure Monitor diagnostic settings, alert rule deployment, and Log Analytics workspace
configuration using IaC — eliminating manual monitoring setup for every new resource deployment.
Integrate deployment pipelines with APM tools (Dynatrace, AppDynamics, or Azure Application
Insights) — automatically enabling instrumentation as part of the deployment process rather than as
a post-deployment manual step.
Build synthetic monitoring and availability test automation for critical services — ensuring proactive
detection of issues before end users are impacted.
Azure Build Planning & Environment Management
Lead the technical planning for new Azure environment builds — subscription design, resource group
structure, naming conventions, tagging taxonomy, and access control framework.
Manage environment lifecycle — provisioning, configuration, decommission, and cost optimisation
across development, staging, and production tiers in multi-region Azure.
Implement Azure Policy as Code — author and deploy custom policy definitions, initiatives, and
compliance remediation tasks through CI/CD pipelines.
Maintain environment parity through IaC — ensuring staging environments accurately reflect
production configuration to eliminate environment-specific deployment failures.
DevSecOps & Compliance
Integrate security scanning into all CI/CD pipelines — static IaC analysis (Checkov, tfsec), secret
detection (git-secrets, Azure Key Vault integration), and dependency vulnerability scanning.
Enforce Azure security baselines through pipeline policy gates — no deployment proceeds if it
violates defined security or compliance thresholds.
Manage Azure Key Vault integration across pipelines — secrets management, certificate rotation
automation, and access policy governance for pipeline service principals.
Support audit and compliance requirements by maintaining complete, tamper-evident pipeline
execution logs and deployment records.
Requirements
Required Skills & Experience
CI/CD & Pipeline Engineering
5 – 8 years of overall IT/DevOps experience; minimum 3 years in a dedicated DevOps or platform

tooling into delivery workflows without becoming a bottleneck.
Collaboration & Process
Experience working within ITSM-governed change management environments — integrating
automated deployments with change record creation, approval workflows, and post-change
validation.
Strong documentation habits — every pipeline, module, and automation script must be accompanied
by clear usage documentation and changelog.
Collaborative working style — able to translate operational pain points from L1/L2 teams into
automation solutions, and communicate deployment risks clearly to operations leads.
