About the role

We are seeking a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to support a modernization assessment of a large-scale, multi-state Medicaid Provider platform built on .NET and C#. This role is focused on evaluating the current CI/CD maturity, release management practices, environment automation, and observability posture of the platform — and contributing to the definition of a target-state DevSecOps operating model that can support a factory-model migration across more than 25 state implementations.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on DevOps practitioner with strong experience in CI/CD pipeline design, infrastructure automation, and platform observability in cloud environments. This person understands not just tooling, but the operational practices and engineering discipline required to support complex, multi-version release cadences in regulated environments. They will work directly with architects and analysts to assess current-state gaps, define remediation recommendations, and help shape the operational foundation of the modernized platform.

Key Responsibilities

Assess the current CI/CD pipeline maturity, including build, test, deploy, and release automation practices for Legacy Provider and Provider Plus codebases
Evaluate the current release cadence model, including support for multiple concurrent live versions (n through n–4), and assess readiness for blue-green and canary deployment patterns
Assess environment management practices, including environment provisioning, configuration management, and infrastructure-as-code adoption (Terraform, ARM/Bicep)
Evaluate the current observability stack, including distributed tracing readiness (OpenTelemetry), structured logging practices, per-tenant metrics visibility, and incident management workflows
Assess DevSecOps pipeline security integration, including SAST/DAST tooling, dependency scanning, container image scanning, and secrets management practices
Identify gaps in automation, repeatability, and deployment reliability that would affect the target-state platform's ability to support factory-model state migrations
Contribute to an Operations and Stability Improvement Plan, including CI/CD improvement recommendations, multi-version release strategy, automated testing strategy, and cost-reduction levers
Support the definition of observability standards for the target-state platform, including per-tenant dashboards, alert policies, and structured log correlation
Participate in stakeholder interviews and SME sessions to validate current operational practices and identify pain points

Requirements

Required Qualifications

8+ years of hands-on DevOps or platform engineering experience in production environments
Strong experience designing, building, and assessing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling including Terraform and/or ARM/Bicep
Experience with container-based deployment models including Docker and Kubernetes
Strong understanding of blue-green, canary, and rolling deployment strategies and when to apply them
Experience with observability tooling, including distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry or equivalent), structured logging, and metrics dashboards
Experience with DevSecOps pipeline security including SAST/DAST integration, dependency scanning, and secrets management
Experience supporting multi-version or multi-tenant release models in enterprise environments
Strong communication skills with the ability to document findings clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in healthcare, Medicaid, or other HIPAA-regulated environments
Familiarity with .NET application build and release pipelines, including NuGet package management and .NET versioning considerations
Experience contributing to platform assessments, DevOps maturity models, or operational readiness evaluations
Exposure to factory-model or repeatable deployment patterns across multiple clients, tenants, or environments
Familiarity with cloud-native platform services on AWS, Azure, or GCP, including managed Kubernetes services and cloud-native CI/CD tooling
Experience with cost optimization analysis for cloud infrastructure and pipeline operations

What Success Looks Like

Current CI/CD maturity, environment management, and observability posture are clearly documented with gaps identified and prioritized
Blue-green, canary, and multi-version release strategy recommendations are practical, phased, and aligned to the platform's operational constraints
Observability recommendations provide a clear path to per-tenant visibility and proactive incident management
DevSecOps pipeline security findings are integrated into a Operations and Stability Improvement Plan with actionable remediation steps
