Cloud / DevOps Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a Cloud / DevOps Engineer to design, build, and operate the cloud infrastructure powering a growing AI platform. You will take full ownership of Azure infrastructure, automation, Kubernetes, CI/CD, security, and reliability, working closely with software and ML engineers to support real production workloads.

What You'll Do

• Design and operate secure, scalable, and highly available Azure cloud infrastructure across compute, networking, storage, identity, and platform services.

• Build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform or Bicep, with a strong focus on automation, consistency, and repeatable deployments.

• Deploy and operate Docker and Kubernetes/AKS environments, including scaling, networking, upgrades, security, and production troubleshooting.

• Design and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar tools to enable reliable and efficient software delivery.

• Establish strong cloud security, observability, and reliability practices covering IAM, secrets management, monitoring, logging, alerting, backup, and disaster recovery.

• Partner with engineering and ML teams to support AI/ML workloads, optimize cloud performance and cost, and prepare infrastructure for future scale.

• Own infrastructure initiatives end-to-end, contribute to architecture decisions and incident response, and continuously raise platform engineering standards.

What We're Looking For

• 4 or more years of hands-on experience in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, or a related field.

• Strong production experience with Microsoft Azure, including cloud architecture, deployment, networking, identity, security, and operations.

• Hands-on experience with Terraform or Bicep and a solid Infrastructure as Code mindset.

• Production experience with Docker, Kubernetes/AKS, and CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.

• Background at a large technology or enterprise organization, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of cloud infrastructure rather than a purely operational or contributor-only scope.

• Strong understanding of cloud security, networking, observability, reliability, and automation, with solid Linux administration and scripting skills (Bash, Python, or equivalent).

• Ability to work effectively with ambiguity, high ownership, and the pace of an early-stage environment.

• Experience with AI/ML or GPU-based cloud workloads is a plus.

• Familiarity with GitOps, Helm, Argo CD, Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry is a plus.

• Experience with AWS or Google Cloud alongside Azure is a plus.

• Experience in manufacturing, industrial IoT, or robotics environments is a plus.
