Job description

"Platform Engineer" is the accurate term and is rising fast in search; adding Azure/Terraform/DevOps catches the much larger DevOps and cloud-infra search streams without mislabelling the role.

Hyderabad | Hybrid | Full-time | 9-13 years

Greenfield Azure platform build. You'll design the landing zones, the golden paths, and the self-service tooling that every engineering team in the company builds on - from scratch, not inherited.

We're hiring a Lead Platform Engineer for the Developer Experience and Cloud Platform Engineering team of a US-headquartered healthcare technology company, at their newly launched Global Capability Center in Hyderabad. This role is managed confidentially; client details are shared with shortlisted candidates.

What You'll Own

• Azure landing zones from the ground up - subscription strategy, resource organisation, environment separation, RBAC, policy, and secure connectivity
• Reusable Terraform modules for identity, compute, messaging, networking, monitoring, and security
• Golden paths and self-service tooling so application teams can provision, deploy, and operate cloud workloads without filing tickets
• Standardised CI/CD - reusable pipeline templates and automated quality gates in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions
• Secure-by-default patterns built with security and architecture teams: policy as code, secrets management, identity-based access, guardrails
• Observability standards - logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards, alerting, and SLO tracking baked into the templates teams already use
• AI-assisted engineering adoption to lift developer productivity and delivery speed

What You Bring

• 9+ years in platform, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE engineering
• Strong Terraform or equivalent Infrastructure as Code
• Cloud governance fundamentals: RBAC, policy as code, tagging, secrets management, compliance guardrails
• Solid observability practice - logging, metrics, tracing, production troubleshooting, SLO/SLA tracking
• Working knowledge of distributed systems and event-driven architecture
• Track record driving platform adoption and developer experience across engineering teams

Nice to have: Kubernetes/AKS, exposure to AI-assisted engineering tooling, regulated-industry or healthcare experience.
