Job summary

Velozient is seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer to join our U.S. client on a full-time, remote basis. You will design, implement, and automate Azure infrastructure, scripting, and deployment workflows to empower development teams toward self-sufficiency.

The role requires strong Azure expertise, IaC experience, and collaboration with cross-functional teams. Responsibilities include building reusable automation, managing cloud resources, and guiding best practices for deployment and security.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience with Microsoft Azure.
• Strong understanding of Azure architecture and common Azure services.
• Experience with Azure subscriptions, resource groups, RBAC, Microsoft Entra ID, managed identities, service principals, and Key Vault.
• Practical Azure networking experience, including VNETs, subnets, NSGs, DNS, VPNs, private endpoints, public/private connectivity, and firewall concepts.
• Experience with Azure SQL and related Azure database infrastructure.
• Experience with Azure PaaS and container-based application hosting.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code using Bicep, Terraform, ARM templates, or similar technologies.
• Strong experience with GitHub Actions or comparable CI/CD automation.
• Experience writing automation or software using at least one general-purpose language or scripting environment such as PowerShell, C#, or Python.
• Ability to understand existing infrastructure and deployment environments rather than working only with greenfield systems.
• Ability to independently research unfamiliar technologies, validate proposed approaches, and clearly communicate findings and recommendations.
• Ability to work from goals and technical direction without requiring detailed step-by-step implementation instructions.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across cloud infrastructure, networking, identity, and deployment systems.
• Strong communication skills when working directly with software engineers and senior technical staff.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and improve Azure infrastructure and supporting automation.
• Build reusable GitHub Actions, deployment workflows, and self-service engineering tools.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Bicep and Terraform.
• Automate infrastructure and operational workflows using PowerShell, Azure CLI, APIs, and application code where appropriate.
• Improve existing infrastructure and automation that may already be partially implemented, taking solutions from proof-of-concept or incomplete states through production-ready completion.
• Work with development teams to understand their applications, infrastructure requirements, and deployment models.
• Help teams solve difficult cloud, networking, identity, and deployment issues without taking operational ownership away from the teams themselves.
• Support Azure tenant, subscription, and workload migrations in partnership with application teams.
• Help establish repeatable patterns for provisioning databases, application infrastructure, networking, DNS, identity, configuration, and related cloud resources.
• Improve infrastructure deployment through Octopus Deploy, including increased use of infrastructure-as-code and repeatable deployment processes.
• Work with Cloudflare, Terraform, and related tooling to improve DNS, routing, TLS, load balancing, and application connectivity patterns.
• Assist with the gradual simplification and cleanup of a smaller AWS footprint.
• Evaluate technical approaches, identify tradeoffs and limitations, and make pragmatic recommendations before implementation.
