Senior DevOps Engineer (Azure) - IFS Ultimo

We’re introducing a DevOps Engineer role in the Ultimo Product Development Group to centralize and elevate how we manage our internal environments and pipelines. This role takes ownership of responsibilities currently spread across teams, bringing them together under one accountable function. You’ll be the connecting party between all stages of development, ensuring our environments scale reliably, our pipelines run seamlessly, and our DevOps foundation evolves as we modernize our engineering organization.

Your primary focus will be on building, optimizing, and maintaining our deployment pipeline (the backbone of efficient, secure, and reliable software delivery) while also supporting QA infrastructure as a secondary responsibility. You’ll have the opportunity to make a real mark on how Ultimo teams will work in the future by creating a clear vision for DevOps excellence and taking the lead in driving it forward, rather than simply following established processes. This role calls for someone who combines hands-on technical expertise with strategic thinking; someone who can set direction, influence best practices, and lead by example in building a mature, forward-looking DevOps culture.

We’re also on an AI journey, embedding intelligent automation and data-driven decision-making into our processes and products. As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll play an important role in ensuring our infrastructure and delivery processes are ready to support and scale with this transformation.

This position combines hands-on technical work with process ownership and collaboration, ensuring that IFS Ultimo continues to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable enterprise software solutions.
