We’re looking for a Senior Azure Cloud Engineer to design, build, secure, and operate scalable Microsoft Azure platforms. This is a highly hands‑on engineering role that blends cloud architecture, automation, and platform operations. You’ll play a key part in modernizing workloads, leading migrations, and elevating platform engineering maturity across Azure subscriptions and landing zones.

If you enjoy shaping modern cloud environments and owning end‑to‑end architecture and automation, this role offers high impact and ownership.

• Architect and deliver secure, highly available Azure solutions (VMs, AKS, App Services, serverless).
• Design and maintain enterprise landing zones, subscription structures, and network topologies to support scale and governance.
• Lead migrations from on‑prem and other cloud providers—assessment, planning, runbooks, cutovers, and validation.
• Build Infrastructure‑as‑Code using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM, and develop CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions).
• Operate production platforms: monitoring, alerting, incident response, capacity planning, and RCA.
• Enforce strong security and governance via Azure AD, RBAC, Key Vault, network segmentation, encryption, and policy controls.
• Optimize cost and performance across subscriptions using tagging, rightsizing, and cost management practices.
• Mentor platform engineers, lead architecture reviews, and maintain high‑quality documentation and runbooks.

• 7+ years of cloud engineering experience with deep hands‑on Microsoft Azure expertise.
• Strong IaC experience with Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.
• Scripting skills in PowerShell and/or Python.
• Experience with AKS/Kubernetes, CI/CD automation, and observability (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Prometheus, Grafana).
• Strong networking & security foundations: Azure AD, RBAC, NSGs, Azure Firewall, network design principles.
• Experience operating production environments and performing root cause analysis.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• Experience with enterprise governance: management groups, policies, blueprints, cost controls.
• Background in platform engineering, automation, and reliability engineering.
• Familiarity with data & integration services: Mulesoft, Azure Databricks, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Event Grid, Service Bus.

• Well‑designed landing zones and subscription architecture that meet compliance needs while enabling developer velocity.
• Smooth, low‑risk cloud migrations supported by clear runbooks and measurable performance improvements.
• Reduced incidents and faster recovery times through strong observability and automation.
• A more mature, efficient platform engineering practice built on documentation, standards, and repeatable patterns.
