EngineeringDevops Engineer

Lead the team: Manage, mentor, and grow a team of Cloud Engineers, owning their technical roadmap, priorities, engineering standards, and delivery commitments.
Plan ahead: Partner with engineering and business leadership on capacity planning, infrastructure priorities, and future team and technology needs.
Build the platform: Architect and operate cloud and on-premises infrastructure — Azure environments (networking, identity, compute, storage, security) and Kubernetes platforms on both AKS and on-prem — for production apps, data platforms, and AI workloads.
Automate everything: Drive Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps, design CI/CD pipelines, and build reusable, self-service platform capabilities.
Keep it reliable: Own observability, capacity planning, backup/recovery, HA and DR, and lead the response to complex production incidents across the app, Kubernetes, OS, network, and cloud layers.
Secure it: Implement security best practices — secrets management, access controls, network segmentation, vulnerability management, and hardening.
Support AI at scale: Work with Software, Data, and AI Engineers to design infrastructure for data-intensive and GPU/AI workloads, championing Cloud, DevOps, Kubernetes, and SRE best practices across engineering.

7+ years in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Platform, or Infrastructure Engineering, including leading, mentoring, and developing technical teams while maintaining a high engineering bar.
Deep hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (networking, compute, storage, identity, security, managed services).
Strong Kubernetes expertise — designing, deploying, upgrading, securing, and troubleshooting production clusters, including in on-premises or hybrid environments where you own more than the application layer.
Strong Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform (Bicep/ARM a plus) and solid Docker / containerized workloads experience (registries, image management, security).
Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD and GitOps workflows (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Flux) and building observability with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Azure Monitor.
Deep understanding of Linux, networking, DNS, TLS, load balancing, firewalls, storage, and identity, plus cloud/infra security (RBAC, secrets management, certificates, workload identity).
Strong scripting and automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar) and a track record designing highly available, resilient, secure, scalable infrastructure.
Able to balance technical leadership, people management, and hands-on engineering, with fluent English and strong technical communication and documentation.
