Job description

Role

The Cloud Infrastructure & Automation Engineer is responsible for designing, building, automating, and supporting secure Azure cloud infrastructure for enterprise workloads. The role combines hands-on engineering across ARM Templates, YAML pipelines, Azure networking, cloud governance, monitoring, and production troubleshooting. This is not a purely operational role; it requires automation-first thinking, strong design discipline, and the ability to deliver repeatable, compliant, and supportable cloud infrastructure solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and support Azure infrastructure for cloud, hybrid, and application delivery platforms.


• Build reusable Infrastructure as Code using ARM Templates with parameterized, modular, and secure deployment patterns.


• Create and maintain YAML-based CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure validation, provisioning, approvals, and environment promotion.


• Design and troubleshoot Azure networking including Virtual Networks, subnets, NSGs, route tables, VPN/ExpressRoute, load balancers, Application Gateways, DNS, and IP addressing.


• Automate cloud operations, deployment tasks, configuration checks, and repeatable environment provisioning activities.


• Support production incidents by analyzing deployment history, effective routes, NSG rules, diagnostic logs, health probes, connectivity tests, and monitoring data.


• Apply governance controls including RBAC, Azure Policy, tagging, diagnostic settings, secure secrets handling, and compliant release practices.


• Partner with Cloud Architects, Security, DevOps, Operations, and Application teams to deliver reliable infrastructure services and technical documentation.


• Identify improvements to deployment consistency, infrastructure reliability, security posture, operational readiness, and cloud cost efficiency.

Technical Skills Required

• Azure Cloud Platform: compute, storage, identity, RBAC, governance, monitoring, diagnostic settings, and enterprise landing zone concepts.


• Infrastructure as Code: ARM Templates, template parameters, variables, outputs, dependencies, linked/nested templates, and reusable deployment patterns.


• YAML and deployment pipelines: Azure DevOps YAML pipelines, stages, jobs, approvals, service connections, variables, artifacts, and release controls.


• Cloud networking: VNets, subnets, NSGs, route tables/UDRs, TCP/IP, DNS, private IP/public IP addressing, VPN, ExpressRoute, peering, and hybrid routing.


• Traffic management: Azure Load Balancer, Application Gateway, health probes, backend pools, listeners, routing rules, SSL/TLS handling, and basic WAF concepts.


• Troubleshooting: production connectivity analysis, NSG flow validation, effective route review, DNS checks, deployment operation logs, and root cause analysis.


• Automation and scripting: PowerShell, Bash, Azure CLI, Git, pull requests, branching, code reviews, and repeatable operational scripts.


• Monitoring and operations: Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, alerts, dashboards, runbooks, incident/problem/change management, and operational documentation.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Bicep, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Azure Firewall, Private Endpoints, AKS, or Azure Landing Zones.


• Experience designing infrastructure patterns for enterprise-scale, regulated, or globally distributed environments.


• FinOps awareness and ability to optimize infrastructure cost through automation, standardization, right-sizing, and governance.


• Exposure to platform engineering, self-service infrastructure patterns, SRE practices, observability, and secure DevOps delivery models.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related discipline; equivalent practical experience may be considered.


• 5+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure, Infrastructure Engineering, Platform Engineering, Network Engineering, or DevOps roles.


• 3+ years of hands‑on Microsoft Azure experience supporting production or enterprise environments.


• Proven experience creating or maintaining ARM Templates and YAML pipelines for automated infrastructure deployment.


• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, deployment, access, and monitoring issues in production environments.

Leadership & Collaboration Expectations

• Translate architecture, security, compliance, and operational needs into scalable Azure infrastructure solutions.


• Participate in design reviews, infrastructure reviews, incident analysis, and operational readiness assessments.


• Communicate clearly with engineers, architects, security teams, application owners, vendors, and operational stakeholders.


• Promote engineering excellence through documentation, reusable assets, automation standards, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.

Success Metrics

• Increased Infrastructure as Code coverage, deployment consistency, automation maturity, and environment provisioning speed.


• Reduced manual deployment effort, change failure rate, repetitive operational tasks, and avoidable production incidents.


• Improved network reliability, monitoring coverage, alert quality, security control adherence, and audit readiness.


• Successful adoption of reusable ARM templates, governed YAML pipelines, tagging standards, diagnostics, and operational runbooks.

Nice-to-Have Certifications

• Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate


• Microsoft Certified: Azure DevOps Engineer Expert


• Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert


• HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate or equivalent IaC certification


• Relevant networking, security, Agile, Scrum, ITIL, or cloud governance certifications
