About the Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and operate scalable cloud infrastructure, with a primary focus on Microsoft Azure and secondary support for AWS.

This role is focused on infrastructure engineering and automation. You will be responsible for building reliable, repeatable environments using infrastructure as code, improving deployment workflows, and ensuring systems are secure, performant, and easy to operate.

You should be comfortable working directly with core cloud services such as virtual machines, networking, and storage, and have a strong bias toward automation and standardization.

What you'll get to do

• Design and manage cloud infrastructure in Azure, with some exposure to AWS

• Build and maintain Terraform modules to provision and manage infrastructure

• Develop and support CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments

• Own the lifecycle of VM images (build, harden, version, and distribute)

• Implement reliable, scalable patterns for networking, compute, and storage

• Improve system reliability through monitoring, alerting, and automation

• Troubleshoot infrastructure and deployment issues across environments

• Partner with engineering, security, and platform teams to align on standards and best practices

• Document infrastructure designs and operational procedures

Skills and experience we value

• 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure engineering

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure

• Working knowledge of AWS

• Solid experience with Terraform in production environments

• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)

• Experience with VM image management (e.g., Packer, Azure Image Builder, or similar)

• Strong understanding of:

  • Cloud networking (VNet/VPC design, routing, DNS)

  • Identity and access management

  • System security and hardening practices

• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash, or PowerShell)

• Ability to work independently and drive work forward with minimal direction

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams

What would make you really stand out

• Experience working in multi-cloud environments

• Familiarity with governance and policy tools (e.g., Azure Policy)

• Experience with cost optimization and resource management

• Cloud certifications (Azure and/or AWS)
