We are seeking an experienced DevOps Consultant with strong Azure expertise to join an enterprise project in Göteborg. The consultant will be embedded within the local engineering team, driving end-to-end software delivery lifecycle practices with a focus on automation, security, scalability, and resilience.

This role requires a hands-on engineer with a proven track record in Azure DevOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, observability, and security automation, capable of shaping a high-performing DevOps culture.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Delivery Lifecycle

• Collaborate with stakeholders to align development goals with operational needs.
• Facilitate close collaboration between dev, QA, and operations for smooth deployments.
• Enable automated testing pipelines (unit, integration, acceptance) to ensure quality.

CI/CD & Automation

• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and GitLab.
• Automate code integration, testing, and deployments for reliable releases.
• Ensure frequent, predictable, and low-touch deployments via release automation.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

• Provision and manage cloud infrastructure with Terraform, Bicep, or Ansible.
• Standardize environment creation to improve scalability and consistency.

Monitoring & Observability

• Implement monitoring and alerting with OpenSearch, ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), or equivalent tools.
• Centralize logging for debugging and performance insights.
• Support incident management, on-call processes, and root cause analysis.

Security & Compliance (DevSecOps)

• Integrate security scanning within CI/CD (“shift-left security”).
• Manage secrets securely and enforce role-based access controls (RBAC).
• Ensure systems meet compliance standards (e.g., GDPR).

Collaboration & Culture

• Foster a strong DevOps mindset within the team—collaboration, transparency, and shared responsibility.
• Facilitate continuous feedback loops to drive process improvements.
• Mentor the team on automation, best practices, and DevOps methodologies.

Performance & Reliability

• Optimize system performance across APIs, databases, and cloud services.
• Manage and optimize Azure cloud costs.
• Design resilient architectures with auto-scaling, HA, failover, and disaster recovery.

Governance & Incident Management

• Ensure operational processes are auditable and compliant.
• Drive structured incident response and postmortem analysis.
• Document processes, incidents, and improvements for long-term traceability.
