Senior Microsoft Azure Integration

Job Title: Senior Microsoft Azure Integration & Container Specialist (IDSM)

Work Location:  Ortigas Pasig ADB Office

Shift: Day shift (8am – 5pm)

Work Set-up: Hybrid (3x reporting on site per week)

Salary range: 95,000

Headcount: 4

About the Role:  

The objectives of this assignment are to onboard a Microsoft Azure Integration and Container Specialist who focuses on designing, implementing, and managing cloud-based integration solutions and containerized applications for ADB's Integrated Disbursement System (IDS) modernization initiative. This role blends expertise in Azure services, containers, and integration

technologies to enable scalable, secure, and efficient services.  To achieve this ADB's Right Integration Pattern will be used, this primarily consists of Microsoft APIM, Azure ServiceBus and

Azure Container Apps. Additional integration software components include Azure Data Factory, and Spring workflow.  

The primary aim of this assignment is to develop and implement using the Right Integration Pattern (RIP) using Azure Container applications. This project is strategically important as it aims to leverage Azure's scalable and reliable services to create a robust integration framework. The broader context of this project involves enhancing the efficiency and reliability of cloud-based

applications using advanced Azure services.  

Key focus areas include:  

• Development of Azure Container Apps (ACA): Utilize ACA to maintain containerized applications and microservices in a highly scalable and cost-effective manner. This involves managing server configurations, clusters, and container orchestration using open-source technologies like Distributed Application Runtime (DApR), KEDA, and Envoy.  

• Implementation of Azure Service Bus (ASB): Employ ASB to decouple applications and services, ensuring scalable and reliable communication through message queues and publish-subscribe topics. This will facilitate point-to-point communication and event-driven architecture, enhancing the overall system's responsiveness and reliability.  

• API Management: Use Azure API Management (APIM) to create, publish, secure, monitor, and analyze APIs. This will act as a gateway between backend services and API consumers, ensuring efficient management of the entire API lifecycle.  

The significant achievements expected from this assignment include the successful deployment of a highly scalable and reliable integration pattern, improved resource management through Azure Resource Groups, and enhanced application performance and reliability through the use of ACA and ASB.  There will be a focus on the development of common services using the RIP

architecture.  

Requirement and Qualification (Education & Work Experience)

The ideal candidate for the RIP Developer role must possess the following qualifications:  

• Proven experience in developing and deploying applications using Azure Container Apps (ACA) and Azure Service Bus (ASB).
• Strong understanding of serverless container services, microservices architecture, and event-driven architecture.
• Proficiency in using Distributed Application Runtime (dapr), Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling (KEDA), and Envoy.
• Demonstrated ability to manage resource provisioning, access controls, and cost management within Azure Resource Groups.
• Experience with API Management (APIM) for creating, publishing, securing, monitoring, and analyzing APIs.

Educational Qualifications:  

• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field is required.
• Desirable - Advanced certifications in Azure technologies, such as Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate or Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, are highly desirable.
• Experience with state management for stateful applications and services invocation to other microservices.
• Familiarity with message queues and publish-subscribe topics for scalable and reliable cloud-based applications.
• Knowledge of retry mechanisms and dead letter queues (DLQ) for message processing.
• These qualifications and background ensure that the candidate is well-equipped to develop and manage highly scalable and reliable integration patterns using Azure services.
