Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Randstad Digital Americas is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer for a long-term contract opportunity with a West Michigan client. The role focuses on release engineering, Azure platform automation, GitHub Actions CI/CD migration and development, developer self-service, deployment troubleshooting, and supporting agile teams and production releases.

Responsibilities

• Own release engineering across multiple teams: plan, coordinate and execute deployments that span cross-team dependencies and shared release trains, working directly with product owners, scrum masters, engineers and QA
• Build and continuously improve the automated deployment paths for our Azure platform as a service applications, along with the networking, identity and secrets configuration those deployments depend on
• Migrate pipelines and repos from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions, and build the templates and patterns that make the migration repeatable for other teams
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions for secure, scalable, and repeatable delivery patterns
• Find the friction in how we deliver today and engineer it away, so teams ship faster and more safely than they did last quarter
• Develop scripts and tooling (PowerShell, Python, Bash) to replace manual steps and remove toil
• Create templates and automation to enable developer self-service for repos, pipelines, and containers
• Enable agile teams to run their own delivery: get them set up, unblock them, and hand capability back to them rather than absorbing the work
• Troubleshoot build and deployment issues across development teams

• Contribute to documentation and guardrails that improve efficiency, security, and reliability
