Azure DevOps & Azure DevOps Server | Secure Hybrid Environments

Job Title:

Azure DevOps & Azure DevOps Server | Secure Hybrid Environments

Job Description

Role Overview

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Cloud Solution Architect (V-CSA) to support enterprise, public-sector, and highly regulated customers through Microsoft Global Delivery. The primary focus is Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server (on-premises), supported by strong CI/CD and hybrid DevOps expertise. GitHub is strongly recommended competency.

The successful candidate will design, deliver, operate, and modernize DevOps solutions across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. The role requires strong practical capability in both Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server / TFS. GitHub experience is valuable for customer scenarios but is not the main focus of the role.

Key Responsibilities

Azure DevOps Server and hybrid platform delivery (Primary)

• Design, deploy, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot Azure DevOps Server / TFS environments.
• Support upgrades from TFS or earlier Azure DevOps Server versions, and migrations to Azure DevOps Services where appropriate.
• Manage project collections, build and release infrastructure, agents, repositories, permissions, backup and recovery, performance, availability, and operational reliability.
• Integrate on-premises DevOps platforms with Windows Server, Active Directory, SQL Server, networking, identity, security, and enterprise infrastructure.

Azure DevOps Services (Primary)

• Provide hands-on guidance across Azure Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Artifacts, and Test Plans.
• Design Git workflows, branching strategies, pull-request practices, and enterprise repository standards.
• Provide working-level support for GitHub Enterprise Cloud or Server and GitHub Actions when required by the engagement.
• Lead modernization from legacy development tooling to Azure DevOps Services, including hybrid and staged migration approaches.

GitHub platform support (Secondary)

• Apply GitHub or GitHub Enterprise knowledge where it complements the customer’s Azure DevOps strategy.
• Support GitHub Actions and GitHub security capabilities when required, without making GitHub the core specialization of the role.

CI/CD, automation, and DevSecOps

• Design, implement, and optimize CI/CD pipelines for applications and infrastructure.
• Create reusable YAML pipeline templates, automation standards, validation controls, and release practices.
• Use PowerShell, Bash, or Python and apply infrastructure-as-code practices with ARM, Bicep, or Terraform where appropriate.
• Implement DevSecOps controls such as security scanning, secrets management, access controls, traceability, and compliance-aligned delivery practices.

Customer delivery and advisory

• Lead workshops, assessments, proofs of concept, pilots, production deployments, and technical remediation activities.
• Act as a trusted advisor to technical and business stakeholders in complex and security-sensitive environments.
• Lead troubleshooting, escalation management, and root-cause analysis, with clear documentation and action plans.
• Collaborate with CSAMs, Global Delivery teams, partners, product engineering, infrastructure, and security teams.

Mandatory Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with Azure DevOps Server / TFS in enterprise production environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure DevOps Services, including repositories and CI/CD pipelines.
• Working knowledge of GitHub or GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Actions.
• Experience designing and operating CI/CD across hybrid or on-premises environments.
• Strong knowledge of Git; familiarity with TFVC is required for legacy Azure DevOps Server environments.
• Working knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, SQL Server, networking, identity, and platform dependencies.
• Scripting experience with YAML and at least one of PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
• Experience in customer-facing technical delivery, including troubleshooting and stakeholder communication.
• Fluent English, spoken and written.
• Fluent Swedish, spoken and written, due to the customer environment.
• Swedish citizenship and eligibility to undergo the applicable Swedish security-clearance process.
• Ability to work onsite in Sweden and travel when required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with public-sector, defense, classified, or other highly regulated environments.
• Experience with GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, or GitHub Advanced Security.
• Knowledge of Azure infrastructure, Kubernetes / AKS, Helm, GitOps, monitoring, logging, or API integrations.
• Experience with Power Platform ALM and CI/CD is a plus, but not required.
• Relevant certification such as AZ-400 or Azure DevOps Engineer Expert.

Personal Qualities

• High integrity, discretion, accountability, and respect for confidentiality requirements.
• Strong ownership and ability to work independently in complex or ambiguous environments.
• Practical problem-solving mindset with a balance of architecture, hands-on delivery, and operations.
• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Continuous-learning mindset and willingness to work across cloud and on-premises technologies.
