Description

You will architect and govern the Azure cloud foundation, defining Landing Zones, multi-tenant isolation, and secure platform standards. You will own the CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code modules, and SRE practices that enable scalable, resilient cloud operations.

This role is on-site.

Responsibilities

  • Architect Azure Landing Zones, integrating networking, security, and enterprise architecture to ensure compliance and multi-tenant isolation.
  • Build and maintain reusable IaC modules (Bicep, ARM, Terraform) and CI/CD templates (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) to standardize cloud enablement.
  • Define and enforce SRE practices, including SLOs/SLIs, observability via Azure Monitor and Application Insights, and automated remediation strategies.
  • Optimize AKS, containers, and hybrid/multi-cloud services, focusing on provisioning, scaling, and security in production environments.
  • Integrate security controls (Azure Defender, Sentinel, Key Vault) into DevOps workflows and lead disaster recovery planning.

Required Skills

  • 8+ years in cloud engineering, with 5+ years specifically in Azure architecture and Site Reliability Engineering.
  • Deep proficiency in Azure services: Landing Zones, AKS, VMs, Blob Storage, VNet, Entra ID, and Azure Policy.
  • Mastery of Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD tools: Bicep, ARM, Terraform, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Actions.
  • Strong scripting and automation skills using PowerShell, CLI, and Logic Apps/Functions.
  • Experience with SRE core concepts: SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, and observability tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Knowledge of IAM, including Entra ID, Azure AD DS/B2C, and federation.
  • Proficiency with containers (Docker, Kubernetes) and microservices architectures.
  • Experience with .NET Core, O365, and large-scale distributed systems.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with Azure Arc, Confidential Computing, or emerging cloud technologies for PoCs.
  • Background in chaos engineering, incident response, and blameless post-mortems.
