Overview

We are seeking an Advanced Azure Python Developer to support the development and deployment of cloud-native applications and AI services within Microsoft Azure. This role requires deep expertise in Python development within Azure services, foundational web UI development skills, and hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub and GitHub Actions. Ideal candidate will have experience developing scalable backend systems, integrating with Azure-native services, and deploying AI-driven applications. While the core focus is on Python and Azure, we prefer full stack developers who can support both backend and lightweight UI/UX development when needed.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and deploy cloud-native Python applications on Microsoft Azure.
• Build and maintain Azure components.
• Develop basic UI components to support backend services using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or front-end frameworks like React or Vue.
• Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for automated testing, builds, and deployment.
• Collaborate with DevOps and infrastructure teams to maintain secure, scalable, and compliant deployment environments.
• Integrate Python-based applications with AI/ML services, such as Azure Cognitive Services, Azure ML, or external APIs.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code that follows secure development practices and industry standards.
• Participate in peer code reviews and architectural discussions.
• Troubleshoot issues, optimize performance, and ensure high availability of deployed applications.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field with 5 years of relevant experience, or a total of 9 years of applicable professional experience in lieu of a degree.
• Extensive experience in developing applications using Python on the Azure platform.
• Experience with CI/CD development and deployment pipelines, especially using GitHub Actions.
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, JSON, and secure API design patterns.
• Basic proficiency in frontend development (HTML/CSS/JS), with the ability to create simple UIs to support app workflows.
• Proficient with Git and GitHub workflows, including branching, PRs, and repo management. Familiarity with secure coding practices, DevSecOps principles, and Azure security (RBAC, managed identities, secrets).
• MUST BE US CITIZEN for government clearance/contract requirements.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with full stack development, including frontend frameworks like React, Vue, or Angular.
• Exposure to AI/ML tools and services, such as Azure Machine Learning, Cognitive Services, or LLM/GenAI APIs.
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and infrastructure-as-code (Bicep/Terraform).
• Familiarity with logging/monitoring tools (e.g., Azure Monitor, Application Insights).
• Knowledge of Python-based frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or Django.
