Collaborate with QA, IT, and development teams to ensure systems are deployed and maintained in a GxP-compliant manner.

Ensure traceability, change control, and validation requirements are met in all DevOps processes.

Manage and monitor cloud infrastructure in Microsoft Azure, optimizing for performance, security, and regulatory compliance.

Contribute to audits, documentation, and validation activities related to software and infrastructure delivery.

Candidate profile

Strong experience with Bicep and infrastructure-as-code principles.

Hands-on experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines.

Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (Repos, Pipelines, Boards) and strong Git proficiency (branching strategies, PR workflows).

Proficient in scripting languages (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, Python).

Experience working in Microsoft Azure environments.

Demonstrated experience operating in GxP-regulated environments, preferably within the pharmaceutical, biotech, or life sciences industries.

Understanding of software validation, audit trails, and documentation standards for regulated systems.

Relevant Azure or DevOps certifications (e.g., AZ-400, AZ-104).

Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
