This role requires strong cloud engineering, DevOps, automation, and troubleshooting skills.

• Administer Azure Virtual Machines, Azure App Service, Storage, Networking, Monitoring, Backup, and Disaster Recovery solutions.
• Design and implement highly available, scalable, secure, and resilient cloud architectures.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure, platform, networking, security, and performance issues.
• Implement cloud security controls, governance standards, and operational best practices.
• Support cloud migration, modernization, and platform transformation initiatives.
• Develop and maintain operational standards, procedures, documentation, and technical runbooks.
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code solutions using Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, Bicep, or similar technologies.
• Build automated deployment and configuration frameworks for Azure infrastructure and Databricks platforms.
• Create reusable deployment templates and automated build processes.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting infrastructure deployments, platform upgrades, and configuration management.
• Automate provisioning, patching, monitoring, compliance validation, disaster recovery testing, and operational activities.
• Develop PowerShell and Python automation to reduce manual effort and improve platform consistency.
• Maintain source-controlled deployment artifacts and infrastructure code using Git-based workflows.
• Collaborate with Infrastructure, Security, DevOps, Application, and Architecture teams to deliver automated platform solutions.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of infrastructure engineering, cloud engineering, or platform engineering experience.
• Experience building enterprise Azure environments from scratch.
• Experience working within DevOps organizations using infrastructure automation and CI/CD practices.
