Do you thrive at the intersection of development and infrastructure? Foundation FSSC is seeking a DevOps Engineer who can build Azure solutions that power global food safety certification for 40,000+ organizations worldwide. If you're a developer who loves automating infrastructure, designing scalable cloud solutions, and making a real-world impact through technology, this role offers the perfect blend of coding, DevOps, and meaningful work.

About the job (32-40 hours)

As DevOps Engineer at Foundation FSSC, you'll be responsible for building and managing the Azure Assurance Platform infrastructure that supports their global certification schemes. Working hybrid and from ’s-Hertogenbosch , you'll combine development skills with infrastructure expertise—designing .NET solutions while setting up and managing the Azure environment that enables development teams to build solutions for thousands of certified organizations worldwide. You'll collaborate with a dynamic IT team of approximately 22 professionals and report to the Manager Software Engineering & Architecture.

Your role focus

In this role, you balance platform reliability with engineering enablement. Your focus is roughly divided as follows:

DevOps excellence (70%)

You ensure a secure, scalable, and well-monitored Azure environment. By applying Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform and Bicep) and CI/CD practices (Azure DevOps), you create a reliable platform that development teams can build on with confidence.

Solution design & engineering enablement (25%)

FSSC has some services and utilities, built in .Net, which support the platform. The .Net knowledge is needed to enable project teams to work faster and more consistently, applying standard frameworks and sound design principles.

Technical support & expertise (5%)

You support project teams and second-line support with technical questions and incident resolution, acting as a trusted technical sparring partner.

Your key responsibilities

In your day-to-day work, this translates into the following responsibilities:

• Set up, manage, and expand Azure infrastructure for software development teams, including services such as Azure API Management, Azure Monitor, Entra ID, and Event Grid
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD pipelines using Terraform and Azure DevOps
• Design and develop cross-cutting .NET solutions together with the WEM Solution Designer, Front-end Technical Lead, and Architect
• Implement and manage authentication and authorization solutions using Entra ID and Entra External ID
• Ensure security best practices are applied, including OAuth2, OIDC, and OWASP guidelines
• Work closely with architects, development team members, and product owners to implement and deliver infrastructural changes
• Ensure proper documentation of infrastructure components being built or modified
• Monitor and optimize Azure capacity to ensure scalable, high-performing, and cost-efficient environments
• Provide technical guidance to project teams and second-line support on infrastructure-related topics

Both Certification Programs contribute to FSSC's vision to create a better world by helping organizations achieve impact through the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

This is what is required

We're looking for someone who combines technical depth with strong collaboration skills. You're analytical, proactive in raising concerns, and have a strong sense of ownership.

• 5+ years development experience (.Net/ C# strongly preferred)
