Join our dynamic team as a Cloud Engineer specializing in Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This role is pivotal in building, automating, and managing scalable cloud infrastructure on Azure, with a focus on supporting modern applications via Kubernetes and IaC principles. We are looking for individuals with a strong command of Azure cloud services, automation techniques, and robust DevOps practices to ensure efficient and secure cloud operations.

Key responsibilities include architecting and deploying secure, scalable Azure infrastructure using Ansible and Terraform. You will implement and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines through Azure DevOps, ensuring strict adherence to security, governance, and compliance standards. This role also involves deploying and managing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, automating operational tasks, and integrating Kubernetes with CI/CD and observability tools. Furthermore, you will administer Linux-based cloud systems, develop automation scripts in Python, Shell, and Ansible, and maintain configuration management for desired state enforcement. Collaboration with application teams for seamless cloud integration and participation in architecture discussions are also integral aspects of this position.

The ideal candidate possesses 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure engineering, with a preference for Azure expertise. Essential skills include strong hands-on proficiency in Azure Cloud, Kubernetes (AKS), and Linux administration. A solid understanding of Infrastructure as Code, with mandatory Ansible and optional Terraform skills, is required. Experience with Azure DevOps or GitHub for CI/CD and version control is crucial. Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, PowerShell, or Bash, coupled with a good grasp of cloud security, networking, and monitoring, is expected. Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities are paramount. A mandatory AZ-900 certification is required for this role. Any graduate degree is considered.
