Implement and manage Azure API Management for secure and scalable API services.

Develop and maintain microservices and serverless architectures using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Functions.

Data Transformation:

Develop and implement data transformation solutions using Java and Python within Azure environments.

Utilize Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, and Azure Synapse Analytics for ETL processes.

Work with structured and unstructured data, leveraging data processing frameworks such as Apache Spark, Hadoop, or similar.

Data Integration:

Extract data from on-premises databases and applications using Azure Data Factory and other data integration tools.

Design and implement ETL processes to transform and load data into Azure cloud databases (SQL and NoSQL).

Ensure data consistency, integrity, and quality throughout the data pipeline.

Load transformed data into cloud-based databases such as Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, or other Azure data storage solutions.

Database Management:

o SQL and NoSQL Databases:

Manage, optimize, and maintain relational databases (SQL) and non-relational databases (NoSQL) on Azure, such as Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, and others.

Design database schemas, write complex SQL queries, and create stored procedures.

Implement best practices for database design, management, and security.

o Performance Optimization:

Perform database fine-tuning, indexing, query optimization, and performance monitoring to ensure optimal database performance.

Conduct regular housekeeping activities, including database backups, restores, and updates.

Monitor database performance and implement performance optimization techniques to enhance efficiency and response times.

Address data integrity issues and manage data migration, replication, and archiving processes.

DevOps Practices:

o CI/CD Pipeline Development:

Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or other related tools.

Automate the deployment process and infrastructure provisioning using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, Terraform, or Bicep.

Implement continuous integration and continuous delivery best practices to streamline the development lifecycle.

o DevOps Tools Implementation:

Integrate and manage DevOps tools like SonarQube for code quality analysis, Black Duck for security and license compliance, Coverity for static code analysis, and Octopus Deploy for deployment automation.

Conduct tool evaluations and provide recommendations for improving existing DevOps processes.

o Monitoring and Security:

Implement and manage monitoring solutions using Azure Monitor, Azure Application Insights, and Log Analytics to track performance, diagnose issues, and improve application health.

Utilize Azure Defender for cloud security posture management, threat detection, and response.

Set up and manage monitoring dashboards using Grafana and Prometheus for realtime analytics and metrics visualization.

Implement Datadog for comprehensive monitoring, logging, and security insights across applications, services, and infrastructure.

o Configuration and Security Management:

Implement and manage configuration management tools such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet.

Ensure robust security practices are integrated into the CI/CD pipelines and cloud environments, including vulnerability scanning and compliance checks.

o Monitoring and Logging:

Monitor and optimize system performance, scalability, and availability through tools like Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics.

Ensure robust logging, monitoring, and alerting frameworks are in place for proactive issue resolution.

Infrastructure Management:

o Manage and monitor cloud infrastructure, ensuring compliance with best practices and

security policies.

o Implement backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans.

o Optimize cloud resources and costs through regular analysis and adjustments.

o Conduct regular security assessments and audits to identify and mitigate potential

vulnerabilities.

• Collaboration and Support:

o Work closely with cross-functional teams including software development, QA, and

operations to ensure seamless integration and delivery of applications.

o Provide technical support and troubleshooting assistance for cloud-based applications and

infrastructure.

o Assist in capacity planning, scalability testing, and performance tuning for cloud

environments.

• Continuous Improvement:

o Stay updated with the latest industry trends, best practices, and technologies related to

cloud computing and DevOps.

o Propose and implement improvements to existing systems and processes.

o Participate in code reviews, technical documentation, and knowledge-sharing sessions to

foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

• Any ad-hoc tasks as assigned
