The team is responsible for building and standardizing CI/CD pipelines that automate how Network Functions are deployed across multiple lab environments, with a future path to production deployments.
This role works closely with our client’s application teams and third-party vendors to design, implement, and drive CI/CD automation using Azure DevOps (ADO). The focus is on pipeline development, deployment automation, and workflow orchestration.
We are seeking a well-rounded professional who brings an equal balance of vendor management expertise (50%) and hands-on technical skills (50%). This role serves as a key bridge between external partners and internal technical teams, ensuring vendors deliver high-quality solutions while also contributing directly to technical execution and problem-solving

- Develop and maintain YAML-based Azure DevOps pipelines, with emphasis on deployment activities
- Work with Azure DevOps agents, repositories, and pipeline templates
- Implement secure pipeline integrations using Azure Key Vault, service principals, and Azure Resource Manager endpoints
- Automate infrastructure configuration using Terraform (pipeline-driven, not infra ownership)
- Use Azure CLI extensively for automation and troubleshooting
- Drive and lead technical discussions, design reviews, and working sessions
- Troubleshoot pipeline failures and deployment issues across environments
Qualifications:
- Strong (about 10+ years of experience) hands-on experience with Linux and shell scripting

- Experience creating and maintaining deployment-focused CI/CD pipelines
- Strong experience working with Git (branching, tagging, commits, pull requests)
- Solid understanding of CI/CD methodologies and best practices
- Strong working knowledge of YAML and JSON, including variable definition and reuse
- Troubleshooting and working with different CNI/CSI is a nice to have
Interview Integrity:
During the interview process, we're evaluating your individual problem-solving skills, creativity, and approach to challenges. While AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor are part of your daily toolkit once you join B-Yond, all interviews, assessments, and take-home assignments must be completed independently.
You may not use AI tools, third-party services, coaching platforms, or content-farming services during any part of the interview process unless we explicitly permit it. We will clearly communicate when AI tools are allowed for specific assessments.
Any indication of third-party assistance or AI-generated responses will result in immediate disqualification.
