Infrastructure Cloud Engineer (Azure/AWS)

We are looking for an Infrastructure Cloud Engineer to own the reliability, performance, and day-to-day operation of the Azure and AWS hosted services that run our internal and client-facing applications. This is a hands-on, cloud-native role. You will spend your time running managed Azure and AWS services well rather than building infrastructure platforms from the ground up. Think pragmatic reliability engineering for a lean, focused IT organization: you keep the systems healthy, make them observable, automate the toil out of them, and get pulled in when something breaks.

You will partner closely with application developers, solution architects, and the broader infrastructure team. If you like owning production, care about clean observability, and want to work across a real portfolio of services without the overhead of a giant platform org, this is a good fit. This position will be full-time and remote.

"This position does not offer employment sponsorship. All candidates must be eligible to work without need for sponsorship by employer."

What You'll Do

• Operate and maintain our Azure Container Apps (ACA) environments: deployments, scaling rules, revisions, ingress, networking, and secrets management
• Own our managed data services in Azure, primarily Azure Database for PostgreSQL (Flexible Server) and Azure Cache for Redis: sizing, configuration, backups, patching, connection management, and performance tuning
• Build and maintain observability across the stack: metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting using tools like Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics, and Grafana
• Define and track service health signals (availability, latency, error rates) and drive down noise so alerts mean something
• Automate provisioning and configuration through infrastructure-as-code (Bicep or Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines
• Participate in incident response: triage, mitigate, and lead or contribute to blameless postmortems, then close the loop with real fixes
• Manage identity, access, and network configuration for hosted services, including Entra ID integration, private networking, and least-privilege access
• Handle cost visibility and optimization for the services you own, right-sizing resources and flagging waste
• Write and maintain runbooks and documentation so operational knowledge does not live in one person's head
• Collaborate with developers on deployment patterns, readiness for production, and reliability improvements to the applications running on your infrastructure

• 4 or more years in an infrastructure, DevOps, cloud operations, or SRE-adjacent role
• Solid hands-on Azure and AWS experience, especially with container-based compute and managed data services
• Practical experience running a relational database in production (PostgreSQL preferred) and understanding of caching with Redis
• Real experience with observability tooling: you have built dashboards, set up meaningful alerts, and used telemetry to actually find and fix problems
• Comfort with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines
• Scripting and automation skills, and a bias toward eliminating repetitive manual work
• Sound judgment during incidents and a calm, methodical approach to troubleshooting under pressure
• Clear written communication and a habit of documenting your work

Preferred:

• Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-400, or similar)
• Exposure to compliance-driven environments (FedRAMP, StateRAMP, SOC 2, or public-sector requirements)
• Experience supporting Windows Server
• Experience supporting Azure Virtual Desktop
• Experience supporting client-facing or externally exposed applications
• Familiarity with .NET application hosting and deployment patterns
• Prior participation in an on-call rotation

Physical Demands

• Ability to safely and successfully perform the essential job functions
• Sedentary work that involves sitting or remaining stationary most of the time with occasional need to move around the office to attend meetings, etc.
• Ability to conduct repetitive tasks on a computer, utilizing a mouse, keyboard, and monitor
