The Department of Management's Division of Information Technology (DoIT) is seeking a highly skilled Lead DevOps Engineer/Upskilling Partner with a strong background in both hands-on DevOps work and leadership. This role is key to driving automation, process improvements, and migrations within our organization, supporting Iowa schools and stakeholders through a large portfolio of data collection and reporting applications.  As a key member of our team, you'll be instrumental in driving our DevOps initiatives and delivering secure, high-quality technical solutions to our customers.  The ideal candidate will play a critical role in migrating applications from TFS/ADO to GitHub, establishing DevOps best practices, and mentoring developers. This position is for someone who excels in technical problem-solving and can guide teams through DevOps transformations.   This remote position requires attendance during standard business hours Monday through Friday, with initial on-site presence strongly preferred for orientation and team onboarding, but not required.  Note: This is a 9 MONTH PROJECT with the potential to extend beyond based on project needs. 

 

As the Lead DevOps Engineer/Upskilling Partner, you will:

 

1.                  Lead DevOps Strategy (60-70% hands-on, 30-40% leadership): You’ll balance hands-on work with leadership, focusing on automating CI/CD pipelines, establishing best practices, and leading development teams through migrations.

 

2.                  Application Migration: You will lead the migration of applications from TFS/ADO to GitHub. Experience with GitHub Actions, GitHub Enterprise, and Azure DevOps will be critical for success. You’ll design and implement migration strategies that include moving wikis, project management boards, and source code repositories.

 

3.                  DevOps Automation & Optimization: You’ll build scalable, automated solutions for builds, testing, and deployments, as well as optimize branching, merging, and release processes.

 

4.                  Mentorship & Technical Guidance: You will mentor and coach developers, leading technical debates, and providing guidance on best practices for development, security, and process automation.

 

5.                  Security and Code Quality: You will integrate security scanning tools into the development pipeline (e.g., SAST, SCA, GitHub Advanced Security) and lead efforts to improve code quality through automated tests, code reviews, and continuous integration practices.

 

6.                  Cloud and Infrastructure Support: While the primary focus will be on Azure, you should have experience with other cloud providers, infrastructure as code (IaC), and setting up and managing CI/CD pipelines from scratch.

 

 

Role Clarity and Team Structure:

 

1.                  The role is a mix of hands-on DevOps (60-70%) and leadership (30-40%). You will be expected to guide developers in adopting DevOps practices, review their code base, and provide guidance on improvements through pair programming or proof-of-concepts (POCs).
