Azure Cloud EngineerInfrastructure & Cloud

As a CloudOps engineer supporting an enterprise SaaS portfolio rebuilding vertical software with AI, you will hold complete operational responsibility for the reliability, security, scalability, and performance of Azure-hosted environments. Operating in an outcome-driven, remote culture, you will partner directly with forward-deployed engineering teams to automate infrastructure using Terraform and maintain CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions. Your scope covers everything from containerized microservices and managed databases to cutting-edge Azure AI Foundry and Speech-to-Text services across dev, staging, and production tiers. By establishing robust monitoring, finops cost-governance, and high-availability standards, your contributions will directly ensure seamless uptime and rapid production deployments for software running mission-critical operations worldwide.

Administer Azure cloud infrastructure across dev, QA, staging, and production environments, maintaining services like Container Apps, Static Web Apps, PostgreSQL, Service Bus, Azure Arc, and SignalR.
Develop and maintain modular Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, managing state files, workspaces, variable structures, resource tagging, and drift remediation.
Build, safeguard, and troubleshoot automated CI/CD deployment workflows in GitHub Actions, implementing release gates, approval mechanisms, secret protection, and rollback procedures.
Monitor operational health, latency, quotas, token usage, and costs for Azure AI services, including Azure AI Foundry, Speech-to-Text workloads, and LLM integrations.
Implement observability, dashboards, and actionable alerts using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights while establishing clear SLIs and SLOs.
Drive incident response, triage, and root-cause analysis across deployments, maintaining operational runbooks, disaster recovery strategies, and security compliance standards (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).
