• Project Description:- HOLT IT has completed its migration from Credit Suisse infrastructure into the environment. As we move into a Business As Usual operating model, we are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer who can strengthen our day-to-day engineering, automation, and release processes across the HOLT platform.
• We are looking for a DevOps Engineer with good knowledge in Azure SQL Cloud Database DevOps to help develop and manage our database infrastructure. You should be able to bridge DevOps, CI/CD, release engineering, and Azure SQL platform support.

Responsibilities

CI/CD Engineering (Core Focus)

• Build, maintain, and improve GitLab CI/CD pipelines used across the HOLT application suite.
• Support secure build chain requirements and automated testing workflows.
• Own scripting for build, packaging, deployment, environment configuration, and release promotion.

Release Management & Automation

• Support regular release cycles for the HOLT stack across multiple pods.
• Improve automation around deployments, including validation, artifact flow, and repeatability.
• Troubleshoot build and release issues across dev, QA, and production aligned environments.

Azure SQL Engineering Support (Non DBA)

• Assist with Azure SQL connectivity, configuration, permissions, access flows, and integration with pipelines.
• Work with engineers to troubleshoot Azure SQL issues (queries, access, service configuration).
• Help fill gaps created by the departure of our Azure SQL engineer — no database administration required, but strong comfort working with cloud SQL platforms is essential.

Cloud & Platform Engineering

• Support Azure-hosted infrastructure components such as:
• Azure Storage Accounts
• Azure Batch
• Managed Identities
• APIM integrations
• Assist teams with cloud environment reliability, troubleshooting, and incremental enhancements.

Mandatory Skills Description:

• Overall 8+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer with Azure
• GitLab CI/CD (must have)
• Azure Cloud Services (pipelines, storage, identities, batch, networking fundamentals)
• Azure SQL (engineering familiarity, access/roles, connection troubleshooting)
• Azure Databricks, such as running jobs, managing pipelines, and checking job logs to debug production issues
• AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), including the use of Helm charts.
• Scripting (Bash, Python, PowerShell — any strong automation language acceptable)
• Linux (comfortable working on Linux-based pipelines and runtime environments)
• ETL Tools (Good understanding of various ETL tools)
• Terraform (IaC) experience for provisioning and managing Azure infrastructure using central modules

Nice-to-Have Skills Description:

• Airflow or similar workflow orchestrators
• Azure SQL
• Experience in configuration management tools like Ansible
• Data engineering awareness in cloud ecosystems
• Experience in regulated/financial environments
• The candidate should also have at least one Azure certification, such as AZ-900 or similar Azure certifications
