Project Overview: We are seeking an experienced DevOps & Cloud Solutions Architect on a contract basis to establish, automate, and harden the cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines for an industrial Operations & Maintenance (O&M) digital platform (Biomass Plant Operations).
The platform consists of a Flutter mobile client, a React.js admin portal, and a Node.js/Express microservices backend backed by PostgreSQL and Redis.
Scope of Contract (Phase-1 & Phase-2 Deliverables):
• Phase-1 Scope (Infrastructure Setup & Staging/Prod Deployment):
Core modules to support: User Authentication & RBAC (9+ roles), Attendance Management, Raw Material Procurement & Shifting, Finished Goods Dispatch, Spare Inventory, Weekly Maintenance, and Plant Performance Metrics.
Deliverable: Complete environment setup (Dev, QA, Staging, Production) on Microsoft Azure using Terraform (IaC).
Setup of automated CI/CD deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions / Azure Pipelines) for backend microservices and web portal.
• Phase-2 Scope (Integration & Scheduled Workloads Deployment):
Modules to support: Regular Shift Operations (4-hour operational logs), Vehicle Management, Machine Error & Fault Tracking (auto-calculated stoppage hours, image/video proof), Consolidated MIS Data, Support Tickets, and Multi-Tier Automated Notification Engine.
Deliverable: Implement background cron worker services (via Redis queues / Azure Functions) to execute periodic notification triggers (4-hour shift cycles, 12-hour MIS digests, and weekly maintenance reminders).
Architect secure Azure Blob Storage containers with SAS tokens for high-volume field inspection photos and video uploads under flaky network conditions.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Infrastructure as Code (Terraform): Modularize and maintain reusable Terraform scripts to provision all Azure infrastructure (App Services / Container Apps, VNets, Blob Storage, Key Vault).
2. Containerization & Tooling: Maintain and optimize local docker-compose.yml stacks so the engineering team can run the complete multi-service backend, PostgreSQL, and Redis locally with one command.
3. Future Scalability Architecture (Kubernetes-Ready): Structure current microservices deployments so the platform can smoothly transition to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) & Helm in the future as plant telemetry scales.
4. PostgreSQL Database Administration: Manage Azure Database for PostgreSQL—configure connection pooling (PgBouncer/native pool optimization), automated Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) backups, and zero-downtime schema migrations.
5. Observability & Health Monitoring: Configure centralized logging, container health metrics, and latency alerting (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, or Prometheus/Grafana).
Required Skills & Experience:
• Strong hands-on experience as a DevOps Engineer / Cloud Solutions Architect on Microsoft Azure.
• Proficient in HashiCorp Terraform (State management, modular architecture).
• Deep understanding of Docker, Docker Compose, and containerized Node.js microservices.
• Knowledge of Kubernetes (AKS) architecture for future scale-out planning.
• Production experience managing PostgreSQL (connection pooling, automated backups, indexing).
• Familiarity with setting up GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines and background job schedulers.
