We are offering a senior Azure DevOps role with genuine ownership in Manchester on a hybrid working basis, with a salary of £70,000. We have four development teams working with different branching strategies and release processes, and we need someone to help us bring consistency, maturity and clearer standards to our CI/CD environment. The foundations are already in place, and we are looking for someone to assess what exists, define what good looks like, and build the templates, processes and ways of working that will make delivery easier for every engineering team.
