Job description

Job Title: Lead DevOps Engineer/Upskilling Partner

Job Type: 9-month Contract

Location: Remote, USA

Salary Range: $57-$63 an hour

As the Lead DevOps Engineer/Upskilling Partner, you will:

• Lead DevOps Strategy (60-70% hands-on, 30-40% leadership): You'll balance hands-on work with leadership, focusing on automating CI/CD pipelines, establishing best practices, and leading development teams through migrations.

• Application Migration: You will lead the migration of applications from TFS/ADO to GitHub. Experience with GitHub Actions, GitHub Enterprise, and Azure DevOps will be critical for success. You'll design and implement migration strategies that include moving wikis, project management boards, and source code repositories.

• DevOps Automation & Optimization: You'll build scalable, automated solutions for builds, testing, and deployments, as well as optimize branching, merging, and release processes.

• Mentorship & Technical Guidance: You will mentor and coach developers, leading technical debates, and providing guidance on best practices for development, security, and process automation.

• Security and Code Quality: You will integrate security scanning tools into the development pipeline (e.g., SAST, SCA, GitHub Advanced Security) and lead efforts to improve code quality through automated tests, code reviews, and continuous integration practices.

• Cloud and Infrastructure Support: While the primary focus will be on Azure, you should have experience with other cloud providers, infrastructure as code (IaC), and setting up and managing CI/CD pipelines from scratch.

Requirements:

• C#, ASP.NET, MVC, .NET Core (8+ years): Strong experience in the Microsoft technology stack is required. This role is primarily DevOps-focused, but you'll need to understand the code well enough to mentor teams and drive best practices. While .NET Core isn't currently in use, you may help introduce it into future projects.

• Security Practices (8+ years): You will implement security practices like static code analysis and encryption. Experience with security tools (e.g., SonarQube, Checkmarx, GitHub Advanced Security) and maintaining compliance with standards (e.g., ADA) is a plus.

• TFS, Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions (5+ years): A deep understanding of TFS, Azure DevOps, GitHub, and CI/CD tools is required. You will lead the migration from TFS/ADO to GitHub, building out automation and best practices from scratch.

• Test Automation & TDD (5+ years): You'll implement automated testing, improve test coverage, and ensure reliability through unit and integration tests. Teams are not yet using tools like Selenium, NUnit, or xUnit, and you'll be responsible for setting these up.

• T-SQL and MS SQL (8+ years): Strong skills in query tuning and database optimization and automation are required. The focus will be on query optimization and automating database-related tasks.

• Technical Leadership & Mentorship (5+ years): Experience in mentoring and leading developers is crucial. You'll establish and enforce code review standards, guide development practices, and provide technical leadership in DevOps strategies.

• Code Quality & Security Scanning Tools (4+ years): Familiarity with tools such as GitHub Advanced Security, Dependabot, and Snyk will help you integrate security and code quality into the pipeline.

• Code Branching, Merging, and Release Optimization (5+ years): Experience in optimizing the code branching and release management processes is essential.

• TypeScript/Angular, Client-Based Authorization (2+ years): While the immediate focus is not on front-end technologies, knowledge of TypeScript and Angular is a plus. You may work with teams that use these technologies in the future.
