Job description

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our team to support and advance our platform by designing, building, and operating secure, reliable, and scalable cloud environments. This role focuses on cloud platform engineering, infrastructure automation, environment stability, and operational excellence, working closely with application, security, and DevOps teams in an Agile environment.

The ideal candidate has deep hands-on experience with Azure-based infrastructure, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines, and plays a critical role in ensuring application teams can deploy and operate their services efficiently, securely, and at scale., * Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure and platform services on Azure supporting web and API-based applications.

  • Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform to deliver repeatable and compliant environments.
  • Support and optimize Azure Kubernetes Service clusters, including deployment, scaling, upgrades, and operational troubleshooting across multiple application environments (dev/test/prod).
  • Partner with application teams to ensure secure, performant, and scalable deployments, providing guidance on best practices.
  • Implement and enforce security, governance, and compliance controls across cloud environments.
  • Support CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated builds, deployments, and environment provisioning in Azure DevOps.
  • Manage and operate Argo CD.
  • Monitor system health, performance, and cost, proactively identifying risks and optimization opportunities using Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Lead and contribute to modernization efforts, including migrating legacy workloads to cloud-native architectures.

  • Experience implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or similar tools.
  • Proficiency with Git and branching strategies (e.g., GitFlow).
  • Experience supporting Web APIs and application platforms from an infrastructure and operational perspective.
  • Knowledge of performance, scalability, high availability, and disaster recovery design.
  • Experience with automation, scripting, and operational tooling.
  • Familiarity with Agile delivery models and DevSecOps/SRE practices.
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and collaborate across teams.
  • Familiarity with React/.NET application stacks from a platform support perspective.

Nice to Have

  • Experience modernizing legacy applications to cloud-native architectures.
  • Experience with policy management (Azure Policy) and governance frameworks.
  • Exposure to monitoring and observability tools including Loki and OpenTelemetry.
  • Strong communication skills to translate infrastructure concepts to non-infrastructure teams.
  • Experience implementing AI thoughtfully across platform engineering and application teams.
