VPL is looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to help operate and improve our Azure cloud environments and container-based application platform. This is a growth role for someone with strong technical fundamentals, curiosity, and a desire to develop deeper skills in cloud operations, automation, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code.
What You'll Do
- Help operate and maintain VPL's production and non-production Azure environments.
- Monitor platform health, availability, performance, capacity, security, and cloud consumption.
- Support application builds, releases, and deployments using Azure DevOps and GitOps workflows.
- Perform routine administration and troubleshooting across Azure services, containers, Kubernetes, networking, storage, identity, and platform dependencies.
- Make controlled infrastructure and configuration changes using infrastructure-as-code and version-controlled processes.
- Perform scheduled maintenance, patching, upgrades, certificate rotation, vulnerability remediation, and resource lifecycle activities.
- Partner with Development, QA, Architecture, and SRE to resolve environment issues and improve operational reliability.
- Maintain runbooks and operational documentation and participate in the on-call rotation after completing onboarding.
What You'll Bring
- Approximately 1-3 years of experience in DevOps, cloud operations, systems administration, application support, software engineering, or a related technical role.
- Foundational knowledge of Microsoft Azure, including compute, networking, storage, identity, monitoring, or security.
- Experience with Git and exposure to automated build or deployment pipelines.
- Basic understanding of containers, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code concepts.
- Experience scripting or automating tasks with PowerShell, Bash, Python, or a similar language.
- Linux and Windows troubleshooting skills and an understanding of networking and security fundamentals.
- Strong learning agility, attention to detail, communication skills, and a disciplined approach to production changes.
- Exposure to Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Terraform, relational databases, messaging platforms, or SaaS production environments is helpful but not required.
How You'll Grow
- Learn VPL's existing Azure environment and the operational practices required to support it reliably.
- Develop hands-on proficiency with Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, observability, cloud networking, and modern platform operations.
- Progress from performing documented operational tasks to independently resolving common issues and improving automation.
- Build a career path toward advanced DevOps, platform engineering, cloud engineering, or site reliability engineering responsibilities.
Technology Environment
- Kubernetes and Linux containers
- Infrastructure as code and GitOps
- Cloud networking, identity, monitoring, databases, and messaging
- .NET and Angular applications
What's In It For You
- Develop practical cloud, automation, Kubernetes, and platform operations skills.
- Learn from experienced Architecture, SRE, and Engineering team members.
- Gain meaningful production experience with a path toward greater technical ownership.
