This full-time position offers a competitive salary context of $175,000 and is perfect for seasoned professionals who excel in Azure services, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

Your day-to-day will involve hands-on leadership in cloud infrastructure management. Design and manage Azure cloud environments using Terraform for declarative IaC, ensuring reproducibility and version control. Develop and optimize CI/CD pipelines with tools like Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions to automate builds, tests, and deployments, reducing manual errors and accelerating release cycles.

Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to integrate monitoring solutions such as Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK Stack, providing real-time insights into system health. Champion security and compliance by implementing policies like RBAC, network segmentation, and encryption, aligning with standards such as SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR. Proactively diagnose infrastructure issues using automation scripts in PowerShell, Bash, or Python, minimizing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.

Lead containerization efforts with Docker for building lightweight images and Kubernetes for orchestration, scaling applications dynamically across clusters. Participate in on-call rotations for incident response, conduct post-mortems, and refine DevOps methodologies through documentation and knowledge sharing. This role also includes change management, ensuring seamless updates without disrupting services.

Required Qualifications

To succeed, you need 5+ years of DevOps experience with a strong emphasis on Azure cloud platforms. Proficiency in Terraform for multi-environment provisioning is essential, alongside deep knowledge of CI/CD tools and practices.
