Cloud DevOps Engineer (Infrastructure & Automation)

We are looking for a Cloud DevOps Engineer who is passionate about Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and building robust, automated deployment systems. You will be responsible for designing and maintaining the foundational infrastructure that powers our containerized workloads. The ideal candidate treats infrastructure like software: version-controlled, peer-reviewed, and deployed through rigorous CI/CD pipelines.

• 
  
• Location: Ireland (hybrid) or Europe (remote)
  
• Rate: Market Day Rate
  
• Duration: 12 Months
  

• 
  
• Infrastructure Automation: Build, design, develop, maintain cloud infrastructure on Azure (AKS) using Terraform.
  
• CI/CD Orchestration: Build and optimize end-to-end pipelines in GitLab CI/GitHub Actions to automate the validation, planning, and deployment of infrastructure and applications.
  
• Kubernetes Management: Manage the lifecycle of managed Kubernetes clusters, including node pools, ingress controllers, and core workload deployments.
  
• Security & Identity: Implement secure authentication patterns using OIDC (OpenID Connect) and short‑lived credentials to minimize the risk of secret leakage.
  

• 
  
• IaC: Expert‑level proficiency with Terraform (modules, state management, provider configuration).
  
• Cloud: Hands‑on experience with Azure (AKS, Resource Groups, VNETs). Experience with AWS or GCP is a plus.
  
• Orchestration: Strong understanding of Kubernetes primitives (Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps).
  
• Pipelines: Deep experience with GitLab CI or GitHub Actions, specifically managing multi‑stage workflows with manual approval gates.
  
• Security: Understanding of secret management best practices (avoiding hardcoded keys, using CI variables/OIDC).
  
• Linux/Networking: Solid grasp of HTTP/S, LoadBalancers, and basic networking troubleshooting.
  

• 
  
• Clarity-Focused: You prefer simple, solid solutions over over‑engineered, brittle ones.
  
• Security-Conscious: You believe that no secret should ever touch a git commit.
  
• Accountable: You document your trade‑offs and are ready to defend your architectural decisions during peer reviews.
  
• Automate‑First: If you have to do it twice, you write a script; if you have to do it thrice, you write a pipeline.
