DEVELOPMENT ANALYST JOB DESCRIPTION

Steady delivery pipelines do not maintain themselves. When build automation breaks down, configuration drift goes undetected, or deployment rollbacks fail under pressure, development teams lose hours and release confidence collapses fast. The Development Analyst answers that problem, owning the infrastructure, tooling, and operational processes that keep software moving reliably from code commit to production. This role sits inside the engineering organization, working daily with development, operations, and infrastructure personnel across change control compliance and disaster recovery planning.

As the Development Analyst, you maintain the automated build, deployment, and monitoring systems that engineering teams depend on to ship software predictably and recover quickly when things go wrong. You operate within a cross-functional technology group, partnering with operations, infrastructure, and application support to enforce standards and expand observability coverage across all environments.

Career Impact: Hands-on ownership of build automation and change control compliance gives Development Analysts a documented track record that is directly transferable to senior DevOps Engineer and Platform Engineer roles.

Business Impact: When deployment pipelines and rollback systems function reliably, engineering teams release faster and with fewer production incidents, directly protecting service continuity for end users.

Growth Opportunity: Exposure to disaster recovery design, observability implementation, and agile release management expands your scope toward infrastructure architecture and platform engineering at the senior level.

• Design and maintain automated build systems to support consistent, repeatable software delivery across development and production environments.
• Implement configuration management for web server and database infrastructure to reduce manual drift and standardize environment setup.

• Lead implementation of centralized logging across application, web server, and event sources to support monitoring and incident response.
• Establish agent, controller, and infrastructure configurations required to support automated user interface testing.
• Partner with operations and infrastructure teams to advance disaster recovery solutions and full-stack monitoring coverage.
• Enforce change control and compliance procedures associated with software deployments, including required documentation and governance standards.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 3 or more years of development operations support experience, with demonstrated ownership of build and deployment pipelines.
• Solid understanding of SQL queries, database administration, and Windows Server environment configuration.

• Successful build rate, measuring the percentage of automated builds completing without manual intervention.
• Mean time to recovery, tracking how quickly failed deployments are rolled back and services restored.
• Configuration drift incidents per quarter, reflecting the stability of automated environment management.
• Deployment frequency per sprint, indicating how reliably the pipeline supports the team's release cadence.
• Log coverage ratio, measuring the share of application and infrastructure components feeding the centralized logging system.
• Typical tools: CI/CD platforms (commonly Jenkins or TFS/Azure DevOps), scripting environments (commonly PowerShell or Bash)

• Base Salary Range: $75,000 to $105,000 per year depending on experience and location.
• Bonus: Annual performance bonus of 5 to 10 percent, where offered.
• Equity: Stock options or RSUs common at mid-size and larger technology firms.
• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer contribution rates vary by company.
• PTO: 15 to 20 days annually, plus public holidays and sick leave.
