• Utilize Azure and Azure DevOps tools to support application development and delivery.
• Use Git and/or Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) for source code and configuration management.
• Support automated build and release processes and CI/CD pipelines.
• Maintain software configuration control, change documentation, validation records, and version control.
• Support hosted websites, enterprise account management tools, and related enterprise applications.
• Collaborate with government stakeholders, project teams, and technical staff to deliver secure, reliable, and scalable software solutions.

• Experience with Azure and/or Azure DevOps in an application development environment.
• Experience managing and supporting Microsoft SQL Server databases as part of an application environment.
• Solid understanding of relational databases and SQL Server, including queries, stored procedures, data extraction, integration, and troubleshooting.
• Ability to support SQL database environments and resolve application/database issues; a dedicated SQL DBA background is not required.
• Experience developing, testing, deploying, and supporting application upgrades and enhancements.
• Strong production troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with Git and/or Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC).
• Experience supporting automated build and release processes or CI/CD pipelines.
