Role
Who you are
- DevOps Expertise: 5+ years in DevOps or software engineering roles, with deep Azure proficiency (compute, networking, storage, and security)
- IaC Mastery: Hands-on experience designing and managing cloud resources via Terraform (or equivalent)
- CI/CD Craftsman: Proven track record of building and maintaining robust Azure DevOps pipelines that balance speed with security
- Mentorship & Leadership: Experience leading complex technical initiatives and mentoring junior engineers on best practices
- Compliance & Security Focus: Familiarity with implementing guardrails, access controls, and automated compliance checks
What the job involves
- We’re on the hunt for a Senior Azure DevOps Engineer to architect, build, and optimize the infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines that power Certn’s cloud-native platform.
- You’ll ensure reliability, scalability, and security across dev, staging, and production environments—collaborating closely with engineering, security, and product teams to streamline deployments and automate infrastructure as code
- Infrastructure as Code: Design, implement, and maintain Terraform-based IaC to provision and manage Azure resources predictably and at scale
- CI/CD & Automation: Build, optimize, and support Azure DevOps pipelines for fast, secure, and reliable application delivery—automating compliance checks, secrets management, and audit trails
- Cloud Operations & Monitoring: Maintain, monitor, and troubleshoot Azure environments, implementing observability practices that keep production humming. Participate in a shared on-call rotation to support critical services and ensure platform reliability during and outside business hours
- Collaboration & Support: Partner with software engineers to provide infrastructure guidance, improve developer experience, and resolve deployment/runtime issues in record time
Our take
Certn’s platform allows people to gain fast access to background checks, from criminal records through to motor vehicle records and even credit checks. Its software allows recruiters to save time and money in the hiring process, as the standard 3-4 days for completing background checks is reduced to hours.
Currently, the solution is used by over 2,800 enterprises, including leading employers, staffing firms and property management companies. However, it is not the only player using AI to conduct background checks; Checkr, GoodHire, and HireRight are some of the leading companies that are solving this years-old problem in different parts of the world, and Certn will have to work hard to stand out in this crowded space.
The company looks poised for a period of rapid international expansion over the next few years, thanks to considerable funding amounting to $115 million in 2023 and the acquisition of UK-based background check provider Credence and Australian Intercheck. It also astutely hired CTO Susan Davis (ex-VP of Engineering at Dessa and Xtiva Financial Systems) in 2021.
