Job description

About the Company: We are looking for a Platform Engineer with a strong DevOps and Azure background who can own and evolve cloud platforms, not just build CI/CD pipelines or perform application deployments.

About the Role: Azure Platform Engineer – DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure

Experience: 5 Years

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.

Qualifications:

• 5 years of DevOps experience with a strong focus on Microsoft Azure.

Required Skills:

• 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 implementing Platform Engineering principles with reusable infrastructure and developer self-service capabilities.
• Good understanding of cloud architecture, high availability, scalability, disaster recovery, and infrastructure design best practices.
• Experience administering PostgreSQL and Redis in production environments.
• Proficiency in PowerShell, Bash scripting, Azure CLI, REST APIs, and ARM/Bicep templates.
• Hands-on experience with ELK Stack, Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and modern observability practices.
• Experience implementing Azure security services including Azure Key Vault, Azure RBAC, Azure Policy, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, container security, secret management, and compliance standards such as CIS Benchmarks.
• Strong understanding of FinOps principles including Azure Cost Management, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, auto-scaling, right-sizing, infrastructure benchmarking, and cloud cost optimization.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and work independently in a fast-paced product engineering environment.
• Experience with AWS or GCP (EKS, GKE, IAM, VPC, Cloud Networking, etc.) is an added advantage as iVoyant continues its transition toward a multi-cloud architecture.
