A Day in the Life

  • Own and maintain the reliability, performance, and availability of large-scale production systems — monitoring dashboards, reviewing alerts, and resolving incidents as they arise
  • Serve as primary on-call and incident responder for customer-impacting issues, triaging, coordinating resolution, and leading post-mortems
  • Design, build, and improve CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Octopus Deploy
  • Automate Azure infrastructure and services (Web Apps, Functions, SQL, Storage, Key Vaults, Entra ID) using IaC tooling
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and security teams to support deployments, migrations, and compliance initiatives
  • Drive cloud cost optimization, scalability, and auto-scaling initiatives across hosted environments
  • Implement and modernize incident management tooling and enforce security best practices and system hardening standards

Role Progression

  • Within 1 month, you'll: Get fully onboarded into our Azure environments, understand the CI/CD pipeline landscape across Reach and Raise, and begin contributing to on-call rotations and day-to-day operations.
  • Within 3 months, you'll: Take ownership of key infrastructure components, lead improvements to monitoring and alerting strategies, and drive meaningful progress on at least one cloud migration or cost optimization initiative.
  • Within 6 months, you'll: Be a recognized technical leader on the DevOps team — independently designing and delivering complex infrastructure solutions, modernizing incident management tooling, and shaping the reliability roadmap across our product platforms.
