You will move between application code, Azure services, CI/CD pipelines, APIs, databases, and business system integrations; and you will be the person who owns them. We are building internal capability, not managing vendors, so you will inherit a real environment and make it more secure, more automated, and better documented than you found it.\n\nRobinson has built helicopters in Torrance since 1973. Our aircraft fly in more than 60 countries. The systems you own here connect directly to how customers find us, configure aircraft, order parts, and get supported.\n\nPOSITION RESPONSIBILITIES:\n\nOwn the web platform. Engineer and operate our public web platforms (Next.js frontend and Strapi headless CMS) across development, staging, and production. Build and support APIs, content workflows, forms, search, and configurator experiences.\n\nRun the Azure environment. Operate and improve App Service, Front Door and WAF, Container Registry, Blob Storage, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Application Insights. Own monitoring, alerting, incident response, root cause analysis, and production readiness.\n\nAutomate delivery. Build reliable CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Docker, including environment configuration, automated testing, approval gates, and controlled releases. Replace manual steps with auditable, version-controlled ones.\n\nConnect the business. Design and support integrations across web, cloud, ecommerce, and enterprise systems using APIs, webhooks, queues, and secure service identities, including Epicor Kinetic ERP and Shopify.\n\nSecure and govern it. Own DNS, domains, certificates, redirects, and registrar access alongside IT security. Apply least privilege, secrets management, vulnerability remediation, and access reviews. Keep documentation and runbooks current and usable.\n\nPartner across the company. Work directly with Marketing, Customer Service, Engineering, and business application owners to turn requirements into secure, scalable solutions.\n\nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:\n\n6+ years in platform engineering, DevOps, cloud engineering, software engineering, or systems integration supporting production systems\nHands-on Microsoft Azure experience across compute, networking, storage, identity, security, monitoring, and managed databases\nGit, GitHub Actions or comparable CI/CD tooling, Docker, and multi-environment release management\nWorking development experience in JavaScript or TypeScript and Node.js\nREST and/or GraphQL APIs, webhooks, authentication, and secrets handling\nWorking knowledge of SQL and relational databases\nAbility to troubleshoot across application, cloud, network, database, security, and third-party boundaries\nClear written and verbal communication with non-technical stakeholders\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience\n\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:\n\nReact and Next.js; Strapi or another headless CMS\nPostgreSQL specifically; Redis caching\nShopify development or platform integration (GraphQL Admin API, webhooks, product/order/inventory sync)\nERP integration experience, especially Epicor\nInfrastructure as Code with Terraform or Bicep; scripting in PowerShell, Bash, or Python\nObservability with Application Insights or Sentry; end-to-end testing with Cypress\nDomain, DNS, TLS, CDN, and web application security administration\nAI-enabled application experience (Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Foundry, OpenAI APIs, agents)\nManufacturing or aerospace background, or another environment where reliability and change control matter\n\nWhy This Role\n\nYou will have primary ownership of critical technical capabilities rather than a slice of someone else’s system. The scope is genuinely broad — frontend through cloud infrastructure through enterprise integration — which suits an engineer who would rather go wide and own outcomes than go narrow and own a component.\n\nYou will also see your work fly.
