## About the Role

Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience: 4+ years in Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or Cloud Infrastructure roles, including hands-on production experience with Microsoft Azure (compute, networking, storage, IAM). Experience with Tencent Kubernetes Engine (TKE) or comparable Kubernetes platforms strongly preferred, as the platform will migrate to TKE.
Technical Skills: Proficiency with CI/CD tooling (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab CI), containerization and orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker, TKE), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, ARM/Bicep), scripting/automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell), and monitoring/observability platforms (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, Azure Monitor).
Other: Strong troubleshooting and incident-response skills; experience supporting cloud platform migrations a plus; ability to work effectively as an embedded vendor resource within a client engineering team; on-call availability as required.
Azure certifications (e.g., AZ-104, AZ-400, AZ-500) and/or Kubernetes certifications (CKA/CKAD). Prior experience migrating workloads from a cloud VM-based platform to Kubernetes/TKE, including containerization of legacy services.

## Description

This role serves as a vendor-provided Site Reliability Engineer responsible for improving and protecting the reliability, scalability, and performance of a platform currently hosted on Microsoft Azure that will be migrated to Tencent Kubernetes Engine (TKE) in the future. It manages availability, latency, performance, security, and capacity while enabling efficient, automated software delivery across both the current Azure environment and the upcoming TKE platform. The role differentiates by combining deep Azure cloud infrastructure expertise with Kubernetes-based container orchestration, positioning the team for a smooth cloud-to-TKE migration. Success is measured by improved system uptime, faster incident resolution, and a reliable, well-supported migration path. The work directly impacts IT service quality, operational resilience, and customer experience through the transition and beyond.
