You will work closely with Software Engineering, DevOps, and Security teams to improve system reliability, scalability, and developer productivity.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate scalable cloud infrastructure (primarily Azure)
• Architect and manage cloud networking: VPCs/VNets, subnets, routing, load balancers, DNS
• Implement and enforce cloud security best practices (IAM, network security, threat protection)
• Own FinOps processes: monitor usage, optimize costs, and improve resource efficiency
• Implement and manage WAF solutions (e.g., Cloudflare)
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and operations using Infrastructure as Code
• Develop scripts and automation tools (Bash, PowerShell)
• Improve system reliability, monitoring, and operational workflows
• Collaborate closely with Software Engineering teams to support deployments and improve developer experience
• Maintain clear technical documentation and architecture standards

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in Cloud Engineering / DevOps / Infrastructure roles
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure (AWS/GCP — advantage)
• Strong understanding of cloud networking: VNets/VPCs, subnets, routing, security groups, load balancers, DNS
• Solid experience with cloud security principles and best practices
• Experience with FinOps (cost monitoring, budgeting, optimization)
• Scripting experience (Bash, PowerShell, or similar)
• Experience with WAF solutions such as Cloudflare
• Experience working in production environments with high reliability requirements
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work closely with software teams

Nice to Have (Strong Advantage)

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools, such as Terraform
• DevOps experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation
• Experience with Kubernetes and containerized environments
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools
• Experience in hybrid or multi-cloud environments

What We’re Looking For

• A proactive, ownership-driven engineer who can operate independently
• A strong problem solver who balances security, performance, and cost
• A team player with excellent communication and interpersonal skills
