Description

Job Description:

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain PowerShell automation scripts to support Azure infrastructure operations.
Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize existing automation scripts for performance and reliability.
Ensure scripts follow best practices for security, compliance, version control, and documentation.
Collaborate with cloud architects and operations teams to further optimize the automation routine or develop new ones
Integrate automation with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).

Core Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Scripting & Automation: Advanced proficiency in PowerShell (functions, modules, error handling, logging, remoting, parallelization, DSC/Desired State Configuration).
Cloud: Strong hands-on with Microsoft Azure (ARM/Bicep or Terraform basics), Azure Resource Manager, Azure CLI/Azure PowerShell modules.
CI/CD: Practical experience integrating automation with GitHub Actions (workflows, runners, secrets, environments, reusable workflows).
Version Control: Proficient with Git (branching strategies, PRs, code reviews, tagging, semantic versioning).
Security & Compliance: Familiarity with least privilege, secret management (Key Vault), secure credential handling, script signing, audit logging, and compliance documentation.

Experience

Total: 5–8+ years in infrastructure engineering, SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering roles.
PowerShell: 3–5+ years designing and maintaining production-grade PowerShell automation (modular, testable code; reusable functions; private/internal repositories; PSModules management).
Azure Operations: 3+ years supporting Azure infrastructure operations (VMs, VNets, Storage, Key Vault, App Services, Azure Monitor/Log Analytics, Policy).
Automation at Scale: Experience building idempotent scripts and jobs for provisioning, configuration, patching, and incident remediation.
Troubleshooting: Demonstrated ability to debug and optimize scripts (profiling, reducing API calls, throttling/backoff, improving reliability/observability).
Pipelines: Built or extended CI/CD pipelines for automation (linting, unit tests with Pester, artifact versioning, release gates, environment promotions).
Collaboration: Worked closely with cloud architects and operations to translate runbooks and manual procedures into resilient automation.

Key Competencies

Technical (Must-Haves)

PowerShell Engineering
Advanced PowerShell syntax, modules, classes, and error handling (try/catch/finally, $ErrorActionPreference).
Pester for unit/integration testing.
Logging frameworks and structured output (JSON), writing to Azure Monitor/Log Analytics.
Secure coding in PowerShell: SecureString, secret retrieval from Key Vault, certificate-based auth, MSI/Workload identity.
Azure Automation Patterns
Azure PowerShell & Azure CLI for resource lifecycle management.
Automation via GitHub Actions: secrets, OIDC/Workload Identity Federation, matrix builds, conditional steps, reusable workflows.
Artifact and module packaging (NuGet/PSGallery/private feeds).
Observability: integrating run outputs with Azure Monitor, App Insights, and Log Analytics; alerting via webhooks/Teams.
Reliability & Performance
Implementing retries, exponential backoff, parallel processing (e.g., ForEach-Object -Parallel, jobs, runspaces), and resilience to Azure API limits.
Idempotency and safe re-runs; rollback/compensating actions for failures.
Baseline performance profiling (Measure-Command, tracing) and memory/handle leak avoidance.
Governance & DevEx
Git branching strategies (GitFlow/Trunk-Based), PR templates, code review practices.
Documentation standards: inline comment-based help, README/runbooks, architectural decision records (ADRs).
Compliance evidence: change logs, approvals, audit trails, script signing.
Dependency management and version pinning for modules.

Technical (Nice-to-Haves)

Infrastructure as Code: Bicep or Terraform (calling from PowerShell or pipelines).
Azure services exposure: Functions, Automation Account/Runbooks, Managed Identities, API Management, Service Bus/Queues.
Containers & Runners: Self-hosted GitHub runners, Docker basics, caching strategies in CI.
Cross-platform scripting (PowerShell 7+ on Linux/macOS).
Configuration management: DSC, Azure Automanage, Azure Policy remediation.
Python/Bash for complementary tooling.

Behavioral/Soft Skills

Ownership & Bias for Action: Drives automation opportunities end-to-end, from problem statement to production hardening.
Systems Thinking: Understands dependencies across identity, network, and application layers when designing automations.
Collaboration: Communicates clearly with cloud architects, platform, and operations; turns manual runbooks into maintainable code.
Quality Mindset: Treats automation as product—testable, observable, documented, and supportable.
Security-First: Design choices consistently reflect least privilege, secret hygiene, and auditability.
