Role Overview The Azure DevOps Engineer serves as the primary hands-on implementation resource leading discovery, pipeline re-registration, platform configuration, and migration execution within Azure DevOps Services. This role is responsible for validating existing inventories, scripting API automations, configuring self-hosted agent pools, and executing cutover activities while ensuring seamless integration across third-party build tools and extensions.
Key Responsibilities
Discovery, Inventory & Automation • Collect and validate comprehensive inventories of projects, repositories, pipelines, agent pools, users, groups, extensions, and tool integrations. • Utilize Azure DevOps REST APIs, PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Python scripting to support automated discovery, validation, configuration, and audit evidence collection. • Support user, group, permission, and identity mapping across Azure DevOps organizations.
Pipeline & Agent Configuration • Analyze, update, and re-register multi-stage YAML pipelines across Azure Repos. • Configure, provision, and re-register self-hosted build agents and custom agent pools across Windows and Linux environments. • Validate and configure pipeline dependencies, including variable groups, secure files, service connections, credentials, certificates, and extensions.
Testing, Migration & Troubleshooting • Test and validate integrations with external systems, including JFrog Artifactory connectivity and MATLAB/Simulink extension functionality. • Execute structured test cases, pipeline validations, migration rehearsals, and production cutover activities. • Troubleshoot and resolve pipeline execution errors, authentication issues, build agent offline states, and integration failures.
Documentation & Stabilization • Execute migration tasks accurately from established technical runbooks and standard operating procedures. • Maintain detailed technical documentation, migration evidence, issue logs, and system configuration records. • Provide post-migration hypercare stabilization, troubleshooting support, and knowledge transfer to internal engineering teams.
Required Qualifications • 5 or more years of hands-on DevOps engineering experience with a strong focus on Azure DevOps Services. • 3 or more years of experience building, configuring, and troubleshooting Azure Repos and YAML-based CI/CD pipelines. • Proven experience installing, configuring, and managing self-hosted build agents and agent pools. • Strong automation and scripting skills using PowerShell, Azure CLI, Python, or Azure DevOps REST APIs. • In-depth working knowledge of Azure DevOps administrative settings, including user/group permissions, variable groups, secure files, service connections, and marketplace extensions. • Demonstrated ability to execute structured test plans, analyze failure logs, and work independently from detailed migration runbooks.
Preferred Qualifications • Experience configuring and integrating JFrog Artifactory with Azure DevOps pipelines. • Experience supporting MATLAB / Simulink extensions and embedded software build toolchains. • Hands-on experience managing Windows and Linux build servers, proxy configurations, SSL/TLS certificates, and private network routing. • Prior consulting or migration execution experience in large-scale enterprise environments.
Core Skills & Attributes • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a deep understanding of CI/CD pipeline mechanics. • Methodical, detail-oriented approach to executing migrations, evidence collection, and issue tracking. • Clear written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and knowledge sharing. • Ability to self-direct and deliver high-quality implementation work within project timelines.
