Job summary

iVoyant seeks an Azure Platform Engineer to design and operate scalable cloud platforms, focusing on automation, security, cost optimization, and developer enablement. You will build reusable IaC modules, implement robust CI/CD pipelines, and manage AKS, containers, and network security in a multi‑cloud context.

The role demands deep Azure expertise, Terraform mastery, and strong collaboration with product and engineering teams to enhance platform reliability and governance.

Qualifications

• 5 years of DevOps experience with a strong focus on Microsoft Azure.
• Deep expertise in Terraform including modules, workspaces, remote state management, reusable infrastructure patterns, and Terraform Cloud or CI/CD integration.
• Strong experience with Azure DevOps, YAML pipelines, Git repositories, and GitOps workflows.
• Hands‑on experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Docker, Helm, Kubernetes networking, sidecar deployments, and container lifecycle management.
• Strong understanding of Azure networking including VNets, NSGs, Private Endpoints, Load Balancers, Application Gateway, DNS, and hybrid networking.
• Experience administering PostgreSQL and Redis in production environments.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform following modular, reusable, scalable, and version-controlled practices.
• Build reusable self-service infrastructure modules and deployment templates that enable development teams to provision environments with minimal manual intervention.
• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, supporting blue-green deployments, rollback strategies, approvals, and GitOps workflows.
• Deploy, manage, and optimize infrastructure across Microsoft Azure and support AWS/GCP environments where required.
• Administer Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Docker containers, Helm charts, container registries, ingress controllers, Application Gateway, and Service Mesh implementations.
• Recommend cloud architecture improvements to enhance scalability, reliability, performance, and operational efficiency.
• Review application architecture from scalability, availability, reliability, and disaster recovery perspectives and proactively identify infrastructure bottlenecks before they impact production.
• Participate in technical design discussions and collaborate with engineering teams to define cloud-native infrastructure solutions.
• Manage Azure networking components including VNets, NSGs, Private Endpoints, Load Balancers, and Application Gateway.
• Secure cloud environments using Azure Key Vault, Azure RBAC, Azure Policy, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and security best practices.
• Implement container image vulnerability scanning, secret rotation, and CIS Benchmark recommendations across infrastructure.
• Own PostgreSQL, Redis, and other data infrastructure including provisioning, backup, restore, high availability, monitoring, and performance optimization.
• Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting using ELK Stack, Grafana, Prometheus, Azure Monitor, and Application Insights.
• Drive infrastructure automation, disaster recovery planning, backup strategies, and platform reliability initiatives.
• Lead cloud cost optimization initiatives by leveraging Azure Cost Management, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, auto-scaling, right-sizing, and Spot VMs/Spot Nodes where appropriate.
• Continuously improve platform reliability, developer productivity, operational excellence, and infrastructure governance.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, developers, architects, and QA teams in an Agile environment to achieve sprint and release goals.
