Full Job Description
THE TEAM YOU WILL BE JOINING
A growing enterprise technology organization in the middle of a significant modernization of its infrastructure, cloud environment, and operating practices
An infrastructure and cloud team completing a large-scale migration of hundreds of servers and SQL instances into Azure, and preparing to take full day-to-day ownership of the new environment
A collaborative group working across cloud engineering, infrastructure, database administration, application teams, and an external managed services partner
An organization investing heavily in Azure, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and automation
This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role focused on building, automating, and operating the organization's Azure environment
LOCATION
Fort Mill, SC, Charlotte metro area
On-site environment
Opportunity to work closely with infrastructure leadership and the broader technology team during a major period of transformation
WHAT THEY OFFER YOU
Ownership of a newly built Azure environment as it moves from migration into day-to-day operation, rather than maintaining a mature platform someone else designed
A deep backlog of hands-on build work: Bicep, GitHub Actions pipelines, provisioning automation, monitoring, and security hardening
The chance to shape how infrastructure code, pipelines, and environments are built going forward
Exposure to emerging AI initiatives, including the Azure infrastructure that supports them
Visibility with infrastructure leadership and room to grow into a lead role as the cloud practice expands
Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package
WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT
The organization is closing out a major migration into Azure and will soon own the environment day to day. It needs a senior engineer who can run it and build on it
There is more infrastructure work stacking up than the current team can absorb. This role adds senior, hands-on capacity, not another layer of design and oversight
This person will extend the environment as code: building on existing Bicep modules, standing up GitHub Actions pipelines, and automating provisioning so environments can be deployed consistently and quickly
Security, cost, and reliability run through this role, including identity and access, Azure Policy guardrails, secrets management, monitoring, and cost optimization
You will work alongside infrastructure leadership, database and application teams, and an external managed services partner, and serve as a go-to Azure resource for the team
The organization is looking for someone who can take a priority, determine the right approach, and deliver it without needing every detail spelled out
THE BACKGROUND THAT FITS
6+ years in infrastructure or cloud engineering, including 3+ years hands-on in Azure production environments
Production experience writing and deploying Bicep or ARM templates; Terraform-first Azure engineers comfortable working in an existing Bicep codebase will also be considered
Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps for infrastructure deployments
