They are seeking a skilled Azure Cloud Engineer to design, deploy, and operate large-scale, secure, and resilient cloud platforms on Microsoft Azure, owning the end-to-end cloud engineering lifecycle. The role involves collaborating with various teams to deliver cloud-native solutions that meet demanding business requirements for scalability, reliability, and compliance.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement enterprise-grade Azure cloud architectures spanning compute, networking, storage, identity, and data services, with explicit attention to scalability, security, and total cost of ownership
- Develop, maintain, and continuously improve infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates, treating infrastructure changes with the same rigor as application code through version control and peer review
- Configure and manage Azure landing zones, virtual networks, subnets, route tables, and network security groups to enforce strong segmentation and least-privilege connectivity between workloads
- Implement secure identity, access management, and governance controls using Azure Active Directory, conditional access, role-based access control, and Azure Policy to ensure compliance with internal and regulatory standards
- Architect and operate Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, including node pool design, auto-scaling, network policy, and integration with container registries and service meshes
- Deploy, scale, and tune Azure data and analytics platforms such as Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Synapse Analytics, Data Factory, and Event Hubs to meet specific workload patterns and SLAs
- Build and operate comprehensive CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, enabling fast, automated, and auditable releases of both infrastructure and application code
- Design and implement robust observability practices using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and third-party tooling, with thoughtful dashboards, alerting, and SLO tracking
- Drive Azure cost optimization initiatives, including right-sizing, reserved-instance planning, lifecycle policies, and architectural changes that meaningfully reduce monthly cloud spend
- Implement disaster-recovery and business-continuity strategies, including backup, geo-replication, failover testing, and documented runbooks that have been validated through regular drills
- Strengthen security posture by integrating Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, key vault, and managed identities, and by routinely remediating findings from compliance scans
- Collaborate closely with application teams to architect cloud-native solutions, advising on patterns, anti-patterns, and Azure-native services that best fit each problem domain
- Develop automation scripts and tooling in PowerShell, Bash, and Python to streamline repetitive operational work and reduce time-to-resolution for common incidents
- Mentor junior engineers, lead architecture reviews, and contribute actively to internal communities of practice around Azure and DevOps
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline
- Five or more years of cloud engineering experience, with at least three years focused on Microsoft Azure in production environments
- Strong hands-on experience with Azure core services, including compute, storage, networking, identity, and platform-as-a-service offerings
- Production-level experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates
- Solid experience designing and operating Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters at scale
- Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions for CI/CD across infrastructure and applications
- Strong scripting skills in PowerShell, Bash, and Python, with the ability to write maintainable automation code
- Deep understanding of cloud security principles, identity management, and compliance frameworks
- Experience implementing monitoring, alerting, and observability strategies across distributed workloads
- Strong troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills
- Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert or Azure DevOps Engineer Expert certification
- Experience operating hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments spanning Azure and on-premises infrastructure
- Familiarity with service mesh technologies such as Istio or Linkerd on AKS
- Exposure to FinOps practices and cloud cost-management tooling
- Experience with regulated environments such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or FedRAMP
Benefits
- Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, plus benefits.
- Full-time, direct W2 with Bright Vision Technologies (no C2C, no 1099, no third-party).
