Azure AI Devops Engineer

Title: Azure Cloud DevOps Engineer

Location: Minneapolis, MN

Job Description

Primary Responsibilities:

• Own Reliability Outcomes: Define and track SLIs/SLOs, manage error budgets, and drive continuous improvement to availability, latency, and resiliency for critical services.
• Operate and Mature Observability/AIOps Platform: Build and tune monitoring, dashboards, alerting, and correlation (logs/metrics/traces) using tools like Dynatrace and Splunk to reduce noise and accelerate detection/diagnosis.
• Lead Incident Response & Problem Management: Run on-call/war rooms, conduct root-cause analysis, publish post-incident reviews, and ensure corrective and preventive actions are delivered.
• Automate Toil & Enable Self-Healing: Create runbooks, scripts, and workflows for automated remediation, safe changes, and guardrails to improve MTTR.
• Partner with Engineering & Stakeholders: Consult on architecture, release readiness, capacity planning, and operational standards; translate reliability risks into executive-ready KPI updates (MTTD/MTTR, error budget burn, recurring toil).

Required Skills & Experience:

• AIOps & SRE Fundamentals: 5 years in SRE/production operations, including SLO/SLI, error budgets, incident management, and automated remediation patterns.
• Observability Toolset: 3 years building dashboards, alerts, and troubleshooting with tools such as Dynatrace and Splunk (log/metric/trace correlation, alert tuning, noise reduction).
• Cloud & Platform Engineering: 3 years operating services on AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform; strong expertise in Linux, networking, containers/Kubernetes, and IaC (e.g., Terraform/CloudFormation).
• Automation & Agentic Ops Mindset: Proficient in Python/Bash and CI/CD; experienced in building runbooks, self-healing workflows, and participating in on-call rotations.
• AI-Enabled SRE / Intelligent Ops: 1–2 years applying AI-assisted incident response (auto-summarization, auto-triage, pattern detection) and predictive alerting/anomaly detection in production environments.
• Security / DevSecOps: Working knowledge of vulnerability management, secrets/cert governance, and secure CI/CD gates.

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Release Safety & Resiliency Engineering: Experience with progressive delivery (canary/blue-green), chaos testing/DR drills, performance/capacity engineering, and well-architected reviews (e.g., Azure WARA/Azure Advisor).
• ITSM & Tooling Integration: Hands-on experience integrating monitoring signals with ServiceNow and PagerDuty to build low-friction escalation workflows.

General Baseline Expectation:

• Enterprise AI Tool Proficiency: Demonstrate consistent use (minimum 90% weekly usage) of enterprise-approved AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot) to enhance coding, documentation, and overall delivery velocity.
