The team is collaborative, values-driven, and committed to maintaining a “no jerks” policy — yes, that’s written into the culture.

This role is for you if you're looking for growth, autonomy, and the chance to impact a company’s future tech landscape.

  • 5+ years of professional experience in cloud engineering
  • Experience owning and managing enterprise-level Azure environments (multiple tenants/subscriptions)
  • Strong Azure networking experience (integration with on-prem data centers)
  • Expertise with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) — using Bicep, ARM templates, or Terraform
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
  • Deep understanding of Azure security features (Entra, RBAC, PIM/PAM, NSGs, Azure Firewall)
  • Experience with monitoring tools like Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, or similar (e.g., Grafana, ELK)\n
\n
\n Desired Skills & Experience
  • Experience with containerization/Kubernetes
  • Familiarity with prominent observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Loki)
  • Mentorship or leadership experience within engineering teams
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Clear examples of principle-centered decision making and collaborative architecture discussions\n
\n
\n What You Will Be Doing
\n Tech Breakdown
  • 80% Microsoft Azure (cloud infrastructure, networking, security)
  • 10% On-prem integration
  • 10% CI/CD & IaC (Terraform, Azure DevOps)\n
\n Daily Responsibilities
  • 70% Hands-On Engineering (building, configuring, optimizing)
  • 15% Mentorship & Team Collaboration
  • 15% Cross-functional Stakeholder Engagement & Architecture Planning\n
\n
\n The Offer
  • Bonus eligible\n
\nYou will receive the following benefits:
