HCA Healthcare is a leader in patient care, focusing on digital transformation through advanced technologies. They are seeking an Enterprise Senior Lead DevOps Enablement Engineer to define and scale the DevOps enablement model, focusing on Azure DevOps and integration with other tools to enhance developer productivity and deployment reliability.
Responsibilities:
- Define the enterprise DevOps enablement roadmap centered on ADO Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Artifacts, Test Plans, and enterprise governance
- Establish and maintain enterprise standards for branching strategies, PR policies, build/release conventions, versioning, artifact lifecycle, and environment promotion
- Build scalable reusable pipeline frameworks (“golden pipelines”) using YAML templates, shared libraries, and policy-driven guardrails
- Lead platform upgrades, org/project design, permissions model, and governance across large ADO organizations
- Lead and deliver Jira to Azure DevOps migration strategy and execution across teams, programs, and portfolios
- Define migration approach and mapping: Issue types → Work item types (Epic/Feature/User Story/Bug/Task), Status workflows → ADO process workflows, Fields/custom fields → ADO fields, Components/labels → Area/Iteration paths, tags, Backlog hierarchy, estimation, and reporting equivalence
- Drive stakeholder alignment, cutover planning, training, adoption, and post-migration stabilization
- Establish operating model for ADO Boards (cadences, dashboards, queries, standards, metrics)

- Partner with PMO/Finance/Portfolio teams to ensure reliable data synchronization, reporting accuracy, and auditability
- Design and enable integration models between GitHub (Enterprise) and ADO to support: ADO Boards ↔ GitHub Issues/PR linkage and traceability, ADO Pipelines building from GitHub repos, GitHub Actions ↔ ADO (where hybrid patterns are required), Commit/PR-based work-item association and automated updates
- Define enterprise patterns for repository governance, CODEOWNERS, branch protection rules, PR checks, and release tagging
- Build automation to enforce traceability and compliance (e.g., PR templates requiring work item IDs, policy checks)
- Architect and implement CI/CD pipelines in ADO Pipelines for multiple stacks (.NET, Java, Node, Python, containers)
- Standardize deployment patterns: Multi-stage pipelines, approvals, gates, release strategies (blue/green, canary), Environment configuration, secrets management, and parameterization, Artifact feeds using ADO Artifacts (NuGet, npm, Maven, etc.)

- Build and govern Infrastructure as Code patterns (Terraform preferred) for Azure services and shared platform components
- Enable Kubernetes and container delivery patterns (AKS preferred) with secure cluster and namespace standards
- Embed security into the SDLC: SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, secret scanning, container scanning, Policy-as-code and compliance reporting integrated into pipelines
- Drive identity and access best practices (RBAC, least privilege, managed identities, key management)
- Standardize logging/metrics/tracing and production readiness patterns in partnership with SRE/Operations
- Establish incident readiness, runbooks, on-call enablement, and post-incident learning loops
- Implement measurable reliability practices (SLIs/SLOs, alert tuning, error budgets where applicable)
- Lead enterprise enablement: workshops, office hours, playbooks, onboarding accelerators, reference implementations
- Define and report KPIs/OKRs: Deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, MTTR, Pipeline adoption, security scan coverage, compliance metrics, Work-management hygiene and portfolio traceability completeness
