DevOps Engineer

We're hiring a DevOps Engineer to own the infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and operational reliability of a platform that processes real insurance claims and moves real money between institutions. This is a founding engineering hire. You won't be maintaining someone else's setup; you'll be building Mosadad's entire cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and release process from the ground up on Azure. Every deployment, every environment, every alert is yours.

The core responsibilities for the job include the following:

Infrastructure and Cloud Architecture:

• End-to-end CI/CD pipeline design and maintenance on Azure DevOps.
• Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform, ARM templates, or Bicep for all Azure resources.
• Environment management for dev, staging, UAT, and production with proper isolation and promotion gates.
• Container orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS).
• Security hardening: network policies, secrets management (Azure Key Vault), SSL/TLS, and RBAC.

Deployment and Automation:

• Automated build, test, and deployment workflows for. NET Core / Angular applications.
• Release governance coordinating deployments with engineering and QA, managing rollbacks.
• Database deployment automation for MongoDB and SQL Server.
• Disaster recovery, backup automation, and RTO/RPO compliance.
• Cost monitoring and optimization of Azure resource consumption

Monitoring and Observability:

• Monitoring, alerting, and observability using Azure.
• Monitor, Application Insights, Grafana, or equivalent.
• Proactive incident detection and response.
• System performance optimization and troubleshooting.
• SLA/SLO definition and tracking.

• Strong CI/CD experience with Azure DevOps Pipelines (YAML-based).
• Infrastructure-as-Code: Terraform (preferred) or ARM/Bicep

Container and Orchestration:

• Container expertise: Docker, Kubernetes (AKS), and Helm charts.
• Hands-on experience deploying and managing containerized applications in production

Scripting and Automation:

• Scripting proficiency: Bash, PowerShell, Python.
• Ability to automate manual processes and build automation frameworks

Monitoring and Operations:

• Monitoring and observability: Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK.
• Experience with application logging, metrics collection, and alerting.
• Strong understanding of SRE principles and practices.

Network and Security:

• Strong understanding of networking: VNets, NSGs, private endpoints, DNS, load balancers, WAF.
• Security-first mindset: OWASP awareness, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, RBAC.
• Database operations: automated backups, migrations, and replication for MongoDB and/or SQL Server

Software Development and Collaboration:

• Experience deploying and managing. NET Core and Angular applications in production.
• Experience with Git branching strategies, code review workflows, and release tagging.
• Ability to work collaboratively with backend, frontend, and QA teams.
