The Cloud/DevOps Automation Engineer owns the full lifecycle of Mastronardi's cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and AI platform operations - from provisioning and securing Azure infrastructure to deploying, integrating, monitoring, and scaling the automation and AI systems that increasingly run the business. This role sits at the intersection of traditional infrastructure engineering and applied AI operations. It covers infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, containerization, networking, and observability across Azure, as well as the deployment, integration, monitoring, and scaling of AI platforms such as Azure AI Foundry, Make.com automation scenarios, and the agentic workflows built by the AI Enablement team. This is a hands-on individual contributor role: the Automation Engineer writes code and scripts, configures infrastructure, deploys and operates AI systems, and runs all of it directly in production - providing critical redundancy for cloud and AI-platform work that currently depends on a single person, and building the operational backbone that lets Mastronardi scale its automation and AI investments safely. Values: To perform the job successfully, the incumbent's behavior must be consistent with the PRIDE values expected of all Mastronardi Produce employees: be Passionate; have Respect; be Innovative; be Driven and strive for Excellence., Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps * Deploy and manage Azure infrastructure (VMs, networking, storage, identity) using infrastructure-as-code (ARM/Bicep, Terraform, or equivalent) rather than manual configuration. * Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or equivalent) for infrastructure changes, automations, and AI platform deployments. * Build and maintain containerized workloads (Docker) and, where applicable, orchestration (Kubernetes/AKS or Azure Container Apps) for infrastructure and AI services. * Implement configuration management and patching practices to keep servers, VMs, and platform components current, consistent, and secure. * Design and maintain networking, identity, and access controls (Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC, network security groups) for infrastructure and platform integrations. * Build monitoring, logging, and alerting (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, or equivalent) across infrastructure, automations, and AI systems so issues are caught before they affect the business. * Own backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity procedures for infrastructure and automation/AI platforms under this role's care. * Manage cloud cost and capacity planning, right-sizing resources and identifying optimization opportunities. * Participate in an on-call/incident response rotation, performing root-cause analysis and driving remediation for production issues. * Cross-train other Cloud Operations & Infrastructure team members to reduce single-person dependency across infrastructure, automation, and AI-platform responsibilities. AI Platform Operations & Automation * Deploy, configure, and operate Azure AI Foundry agents, models, and endpoints, connecting them to the systems and data they need to run reliably in production. * Build, maintain, and troubleshoot automation scenarios in Make.com (and comparable platforms) that connect business systems, data sources, and AI capabilities. * Build and operate the infrastructure and integration layer that lets AI Enablement's agentic workflows execute reliably at scale - including queues, retries, and error handling for multi-step AI processes. * Implement observability specific to AI workloads - tracking latency, token usage/cost, and failure rates for LLM calls and agent runs - and alert on anomalies. * Manage versioning and rollout of AI models, prompts, and agent configurations, coordinating with the AI Enablement team so changes deploy safely without breaking production integrations. * Implement guardrails and access controls around AI platforms and agents to keep usage secure, auditable, and within approved scope. * Build and maintain integrations and connectors between Power Automate, Make.com, APIs, and enterprise systems (ERP, WMS, data platforms) that AI-driven processes depend on. * Support scaling of AI inference and automation workloads as usage grows, adjusting infrastructure and platform configuration to maintain performance. * Partner with the AI Enablement team to take AI solutions from a working build to a reliably operated, monitored production integration. * Evaluate and recommend new automation, orchestration, and AI infrastructure tooling as Mastronardi's AI and automation footprint expands. * Delivery, Documentation & Governance * Test infrastructure changes, automations, and AI deployments thoroughly before release, including functional testing, failure-mode testing, and rollback planning. * Maintain a library of reusable scripts, templates, and automation patterns to reduce single-person dependency and speed up delivery of future changes. * Create and maintain clear documentation for all infrastructure, automations, AI deployments, and operating procedures, so no single person is the only source of knowledge. * Ensure all infrastructure, automations, and AI platform work align with IT governance, security, and compliance standards. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [HR ROBO SAPIENS: Decoding AI Agents and Workflow Automation for Modern Recruitment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1470-hr-robo-sapiens-decoding-ai-agents-and-workflow-automation-for-modern-recruitment) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Back(end) to the Future: Embracing the continuous Evolution of Infrastructure and Code](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/440-back-end-to-the-future-embracing-the-continuous-evolution-of-infrastructure-and-code) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Create a Programmatic SEO Project Using Next.js and Static Site Generation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/449-create-a-programmatic-seo-project-using-next-js-and-static-site-generation) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [MLops – Deploying, Maintaining And Evolving Machine Learning Models in Production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/115-mlops-deploying-maintaining-and-evolving-machine-learning-models-in-production) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it)
