Ideal candidates will have strong experience across Azure IaaS/PaaS, Kubernetes/AKS, Terraform, Windows/Linux administration, Hyper-V, CI/CD, Scripting, Networking and Entra ID. This role is best suited for a platform-focused engineer who has experience building and operating platform tooling, including infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD automation, observability, and security/compliance capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain the internal platform and self-service tooling that engineering and IT teams use to deploy and run applications across on-prem and Azure.
- Manage and automate provisioning of Windows Server and Linux hosts in both on-prem (Hyper-V) and Azure IaaS/PaaS environments.
- Build and operate Kubernetes clusters (AKS in Azure, and/or on-prem distributions) including networking, storage, ingress, and workload onboarding.
- Own infrastructure-as-code: author and maintain reusable modules and templates so environments are reproducible and version-controlled.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, golden paths, and deployment automation that let teams ship safely without manual handoffs.
- Implement observability across the estate: monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards for both infrastructure and application health.
- Harden the platform to meet security and compliance requirements, and produce the evidence/automation needed to sustain audits.
- Document platform capabilities, runbooks, and standards, and support internal teams adopting them.
- Participate in on-call / incident response and drive post-incident improvements.
Requirements
- Strong Azure experience across IaaS and PaaS: compute, networking (VNets, NSGs, load balancing), storage, and governance (subscriptions, RBAC, policy).
- Solid Windows Server administration (Active Directory, Group Policy, PowerShell) in a production environment.
- Solid Linux administration (common distros, systemd, shell, package management, troubleshooting).
- Hyper-V virtualization: provisioning, management, and troubleshooting in production.
- Kubernetes in production: cluster operations, Helm, ingress, secrets, and workload troubleshooting (AKS a plus).
- Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform CI/CD pipeline design (Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions).
- Strong scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python).
- Entra ID (Azure AD) and hybrid identity concepts.
- Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, routing, firewalls, hybrid connectivity.
