Azure DevOps Expert for Release Management Upgrade
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
We’re looking for an Azure DevOps expert to help us accelerate a major upgrade to our release management process. We’ve done the planning and have a solid framework documented, but we need someone with deep hands-on experience in pipeline design and implementation to bring it all together.
This is a contract consulting engagement where you will work closely with our internal team to turn our drafted plans and pipelines into a production-ready, reusable “gold standard” for our enterprise release process.
What You’ll Do
Refine & Implement Tier 1 Orchestrator Pipeline (module-orchestrator.yml)
Enhance PowerShell logic to parse manifests
Implement dual-mode logic (dev branch vs. release/* branch)
Refine & Implement Promotion Pipelines (promote-to-qa.yml, promotion.yml)
Handle Git tagging, build-from-tags, and packaging of the Module Release Object (MRO)
Build the Hotfix Pipeline (create-hotfix-package.yml)
Support lightweight hotfix builds with a hotfix-manifest.yml
Harden Reusable Build Templates
Review .NET and Angular templates for robustness, parameterization, and best practices
Plan & Enable Tier 2 / Tier 3 Implementation
Draft a technical plan for enterprise-level orchestration (aggregation & deployment workflows)
Advise on Cross-Instance Artifact Strategy
Support integration between on-premises and cloud Azure DevOps instances for artifact sharing and deployments
What We’re Looking For
Proven expertise building and refining Azure DevOps YAML pipelines
Strong PowerShell scripting experience
Experience with .NET and Angular build pipelines
Understanding of multi-tiered release management (orchestrator, QA, production)
Familiarity with artifact management across cloud and on-premises ADO instances
Ability to mentor and guide an internal team, leaving them with a clear roadmap
Engagement Details
Initial workload: ~40h/week to complete Tier 1 implementation
Follow-up workload: ~20h/week for Tier 2 & Tier 3 planning and handoff
Contract length: <1 month, with potential for extension
Deliverables: Production-ready pipelines, hardened templates, and a technical roadmap for scaling
