Your responsibilities include:

  • Apply modern Infrastructure-as-Code and Configuration-as-Code practices to design and maintain consistent, repeatable environments across the delivery pipeline.

  • Work hands-on with key services in Microsoft Azure and AWS, spanning compute, storage, and networking to support hybrid and cloud-native deployments.

  • Coordinate with third-party vendors to align deployment schedules, verify interoperability, and maintain backward compatibility where needed.

  • Develop and own detailed release and cutover plans that integrate technical tasks, business milestones, and cross-team dependencies.

  • Lead dry runs, produce runbooks and buildbooks, and manage release-related risks with proactive mitigation strategies.

  • Contribute to continuous delivery by building and optimizing CI/CD pipelines and ensuring smooth handoffs across the software development lifecycle.

  • Strong understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and Configuration-as-Code practices for consistent and reliable environment management.

  • Hands-on experience with code promotion processes and applying gating criteria to move software safely from Development through Production.

  • Working knowledge of cloud platforms, particularly core compute, storage, and networking services in Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS.

  • Skilled at collaborating with vendor and partner teams to align deployments, maintain interoperability, and ensure backward compatibility.

  • Proven ability to design and update cutover and release plans that coordinate complex technical and business activities.

  • Experience leading release rehearsals and dry runs, preparing buildbooks/runbooks, and proactively identifying and mitigating risks.
