About the Role

We are looking for an experienced DevOps Lead / Senior DevOps Engineer to take ownership of a greenfield CI/CD build for an Azure Data Factory (ADF) estate. This is a hands on role where you'll design, implement, and deliver a production grade pipeline using GitHub Repos & Actions (not Azure Repos). You will be the go to expert for release engineering, security, observability, and standards.

Key Responsibilities
  • Build and ship a CI/CD pipeline from scratch using GitHub Actions.
  • Architect multi environment workflows (Dev/QA/Prod) with automated validation, deployment, smoke tests, and rollback.
  • Implement OIDC GitHub Azure federation for passwordless deployments.
  • Package and deploy ADF artifacts using ARM/Bicep with environment parameterisation.
  • Centralise secrets in Azure Key Vault and enforce security best practices.
  • Set up telemetry, dashboards, and alerts for ADF runs.
  • Produce documentation, runbooks, and deliver training to BI Engineers for self serve capability.
What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience building CI/CD pipelines from zero to production.
  • Expert in GitHub Actions (environments, approvals, reusable actions, tagging).
  • Knowledge of Azure RBAC, service principals, and Key Vault integration.
  • Excellent technical documentation and training delivery skills.
  • Familiarity with policy as code, JSON schema validation, and linting.
Required Key Experience
  • GitHub Actions expert: environments, approvals, required checks, reusable/composite actions, artifacts, concurrency, release tagging.
  • Proven record of building CI/CD from zero to first production release solo or as the primary implementer.
  • Excellent technical writing and training delivery (docs, runbooks, workshops).
  • Policy as code (JSON schema validation for ARM), linting of ADF JSON, path filters.
  • Experience with GitHub self hosted runners and autoscaling.
Responsibilities After Go Live
  • Own release reliability and improvements (new checks, better alerts, faster rollbacks).
  • Run office hours, code reviews, and refresh training; maintain ADRs and standards.
  • Partner with Infra/Architecture/Security to evidence compliance, cost, and risk posture.
