You will work with Azure AKS, IaC (Terraform/Bicep), and GitOps tooling, shaping standards, roadmaps, and secure AI capabilities for internal teams. This role demands clear communication and a product-minded approach.

Qualifications

• Experience leading, coaching, and developing engineers in a collaborative environment.
• Solid technical foundation in cloud engineering, ideally Azure, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Ability to set clear direction and turn platform needs into practical priorities.
• Experience creating effective ways of working across engineering teams.
• Product mindset for internal platforms, with developers as the customers.
• Confidence balancing reliability, security, cost, and delivery speed.

• Great communication skills and an inclusive leadership style.
• Bias for simplification, continuous improvement, and measurable impact.

Responsibilities

• Lead the team: Manage, coach, and grow the engineers on the platform team - owning hiring, performance, and career development alongside the day-to-day technical direction.
• Shape our cloud platform: Build and operate core infrastructure in Azure — especially AKS and Azure PaaS services.
• Enable AI across the company: Extend the platform with secure, well-governed AI capabilities that make it easy for teams to use LLMs and shared AI services.
• Write infrastructure as code: Use Terraform and/or Bicep to create modular, reusable infra that's fully version-controlled.
• Automate where possible: Use GitOps tooling like Argo CD, Helm, and Kustomize to deliver platform changes quickly and safely.
• Keep things secure: Own identity and access patterns, secrets management, and network controls using Azure-native and Kubernetes primitives.
• Make it reliable: Build for high availability, safe rollouts, and cost-efficient scaling.
• Collaborate closely: Work with architecture, product, and security teams to translate needs into platform capabilities that just work.
• Keep improving: Help shape our internal standards and platform roadmaps as we grow.
