Job description

Cloud is your playground, Azure your toolkit, and solving complex challenges your idea of fun. Sound familiar? Then we might just be looking for you! At Xebia Microsoft Services, we are on the hunt for an Azure Cloud Engineer who loves turning ideas into scalable cloud native solutions. You get to combine Azure and DevOps magic to help businesses transform, innovate, and grow. And you will not do it alone. You will join a team of cloud enthusiasts who share knowledge, push boundaries, and sometimes outdo each other in karaoke battles or ski trips.

If you are ready to build future proof solutions and make great memories along the way, this is your chance.

Responsibilities

At Xebia Microsoft Services, we believe technology is only powerful when it creates real business value. As an Azure Cloud Engineer, you are a hands‑on technical contributor who builds, deploys, and maintains cloud‑native solutions on Azure. You help clients tackle challenges and guide their journey to the cloud, working closely with teams to ensure high‑quality delivery, automation, and operational excellence. You design and build solutions that are aligned with business goals.
In practice, this means:

• Designing and implementing cloud‑native applications using Azure services and modern architectures.

• Collaborating with client stakeholders to understand challenges and translate them into working solutions.

• Driving workshops, Proof of Concepts, and technical sessions to explore what’s possible in the cloud.

• Ensuring implementations meet the highest standards for performance, security, and scalability.

• Putting theory into practice through projects such as:

  • Building and deploying CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Bicep.

  • Containerizing .NET applications and deploying them to AKS.

  • Implementing monitoring and alerting using Azure Monitor.

  • Automating infrastructure provisioning with Terraform

What You Will Bring

You are more than just a skilled engineer. You thrive on solving complex challenges and building reliable cloud solutions. You are curious, eager to explore new technologies, and confident in sharing your expertise with others. With your mix of technical depth and a collaborative mindset, you are ready to make a real impact from day one.

This includes:

• Proven experience with cloud-native development and modern Azure architectures.

• The ability to design, build, and automate infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code principles.

• Experience setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and ensuring smooth delivery workflows (Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions)

• Familiarity with cloud security principles and secure software development

• Understanding of containerization, monitoring, and cloud security best practices.

• The ability to design architectures that balance performance, scalability and maintainability

• Strong communication skills to work effectively with both technical teams and business stakeholders

Why Work For Xebia Microsoft Services

• Knowledge sharing at the core: From weekly XMS Tuesdays to quarterly Innovation Days where you pitch, build, and showcase your ideas.

• Broadening your expertise: €5k annual learning budget, unlimited training access, and colleagues across cloud, data, AI, and security.

• Everything under one roof: Knowledge sharing, challenging projects, growth opportunities, and plenty of humor – daily.

• Making memories together: think annual ski trips in the winter (Skibia), summer trips to the sun (Skubia), and plenty of activities for every taste: from motorcycling and ice hockey to cooking workshops, karaoke nights, and team‑driven events you help organise.
