We're partnering with a long-established, Australia based business that's setting up its Azure Dev Ops capability from scratch.

They need an experienced engineer to design and build a secure foundation, with security baked in from day one rather than bolted on later.

It's a focused 4 week engagement, so we're looking for someone who's done this before, can make sound architectural calls quickly and leave behind something the internal team can confidently run with.

  • What you'll be doing
  • Designing and standing up the Azure Dev Ops organisation, projects, repos and branching strategy
  • Building CI/CD pipelines in YAML with reusable templates and sensible release gates
  • Establishing Infrastructure as Code patterns for repeatable, secure deployments
  • Setting up identity and access from the start: Entra ID, RBAC, service connections and least privilege
  • Implementing secrets management, security scanning and policy guardrails in the pipeline
  • Configuring baseline security monitoring and alerting across the Azure environment
  • Documenting the platform and handing over cleanly so the team can own it
  • What you'll bring
  • Proven experience building Azure Dev Ops environments from the ground up, not just maintaining them
  • Strong Sec Ops background in Azure, including Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, Key Vault and Azure Policy
  • Hands-on Infrastructure as Code skills (Bicep, ARM or Terraform)
  • Experience integrating security tooling into pipelines (SAST, dependency scanning, secret detection)
  • The confidence to make design decisions and explain the reasoning to a non-specialist audience
  • A track record of delivering in short, outcome-focused contracts

Why this one?

Greenfield work is rare.

There's no legacy to untangle and no technical debt to inherit, just a clean slate and a team that wants it done properly.

You'll set the standards they build on for years to come.
