You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance system reliability, scalability, and overall infrastructure efficiency.

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 Administration / 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.
• 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.
• Experience with cloud governance tools (tagging, policies)
• Design and implementation of cloud architectures.
• Ability to work effectively under pressure in production environments and handle incident response.

Nice to Have (Strong Advantage)

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools, such as Terraform.
• Experience with Kubernetes and containerized environments
• DevOps experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation.
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools.
• Experience in hybrid or multi-cloud environments.
• Experience with FinOps (cost monitoring, budgeting, optimization).
• Familiarity with Entra ID and its services.
• Knowledge of Platform Engineering.
• Experience working with AI tools.

What We’re Looking For

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