Job Responsibilities 

• Design, build, and maintain Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines that support 5G NF application deployment from lab environments through production with repeatable, secure, and automated promotion workflows.  

• Develop AI-assisted pipeline automation capabilities that use LLMs to analyze build failures, deployment issues, pipeline health, and operational telemetry. 

• Build and maintain MCP servers and AI-callable tool integrations that expose Azure, Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, repository, and deployment capabilities through controlled automation interfaces. 

• Create self-healing pipeline workflows that can detect common failure patterns, trigger approved remediation steps, and provide clear diagnostics, confidence levels, and escalation paths. 

• Partner with client project teams to understand delivery requirements, architect CI/CD solutions, and implement automation patterns aligned with enterprise DevOps standards. 

• Develop reusable YAML templates, pipeline components, scripts, and automation libraries that standardize CI/CD delivery across applications, environments, and teams. 

• Integrate pipeline workflows with source control, artifact repositories, approvals, environment gates, testing frameworks, security checks, and release governance processes. 

• Support Kubernetes-based deployments by troubleshooting deployment failures, configuration issues, container readiness, service health, and environment-specific pipeline behavior. 

• Implement observability for CI/CD systems, including pipeline metrics, logs, dashboards, alerts, failure trend analysis, and continuous improvement feedback loops. 

• Apply secure DevOps practices for secrets handling, access control, policy enforcement, code review, vulnerability checks, and audit-ready release execution. 

• Create AI-assisted root-cause analysis tools and knowledge workflows that help engineering teams quickly identify probable causes and recommended next actions. 

• Lead technical discussions, working sessions, demos, and hands-on training to improve DevOps maturity and enable client teams to adopt AI-enabled pipeline automation. 

• Document architecture, operating procedures, automation patterns, troubleshooting guides, and standards to ensure consistent adoption and long-term maintainability. 

• Continuously evaluate emerging DevOps, GenAI, LLM, and MCP capabilities and recommend practical enhancements that improve delivery speed, quality, reliability, and operational efficiency.
