• Own the automation, management, and optimization of cloud infrastructure and services on Azure, specifically leveraging Kubernetes (AKS), ensuring efficient scalability and reliability.
• Provide expert guidance to development teams on Kubernetes and cloud-native best practices.
• Implement and manage comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems tailored for Kubernetes clusters to maintain application and infrastructure stability.
• Develop and enforce robust security and compliance practices across Kubernetes-based cloud environments.
• Troubleshoot complex technical challenges related to Azure Kubernetes infrastructure and cloud deployments.

Backend Python (Secondary Skill)

• Contribute to backend development tasks including REST-API creation, backend logic enhancement, and Python-based microservices.
• Support integration of backend systems with cloud-based DevOps processes.
• Conduct testing and debugging to ensure robust functionality and responsiveness of backend components.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 5+ years of extensive experience in DevOps engineering, particularly with Kubernetes in one of the big Cloud Service Providers (Azure, AWS or GCP).
• Expert-level proficiency in Kubernetes (AKS), container registries (ACR), and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).
• Extensive hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and Helm.
• Strong skills in containerization technologies (Docker) and orchestration systems (Kubernetes).
• Proficient scripting skills, particularly in Python.
• Experience with backend Python frameworks such as Flask, FastAPI, or similar.
• Solid understanding of cloud security, compliance frameworks, and identity management practices.
• Familiarity with advanced monitoring and visualization tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor).

Preferred Qualifications (Plus)

• Familiarity with Microsoft Defender for Cloud (Azure Defender for Cloud).
• Previous involvement in successful ISO 27001 certification processes.
• Experience with Microsoft Sentinel.
