Job summary

Litmos Limited is seeking a Cloud Engineer to own and evolve our Microsoft Azure environment, driving migration to cloud-native patterns and managing data/AI platforms like Synapse and Azure AI Foundry. You will implement IaC with Bicep, automate with PowerShell/Python, and ensure security and GDPR compliance across the global setup.

You’ll collaborate with US/AU teams to optimize cost, performance, and resilience, while shaping the cloud architecture roadmap and CI/CD pipelines.

Qualifications

• Solid, hands-on experience running production Azure infrastructure — compute, storage, and networking.
• Strong Infrastructure as Code skills, ideally with Bicep, plus scripting fluency in PowerShell (Python a plus).
• Experience administering SQL Server in production; openness to PostgreSQL.
• Exposure to Synapse, Azure AI Foundry, or comparable data/AI platforms, or ability to ramp up quickly.
• Working knowledge of network security and GDPR compliance frameworks.

Responsibilities

• Run day-to-day operations across Azure compute, storage, and platform services, and own governance, access controls, and cost/performance tuning.
• Lead migration of legacy VM-based workloads to cloud-native patterns (containers, managed services, serverless), and shape the broader cloud architecture roadmap.
• Administer SQL Server in production, with growing responsibility for Postgres as we adopt it.
• Support and optimize Synapse workloads and Azure AI Foundry deployments, partnering with data and ML teams on platform needs.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code in Bicep (Terraform experience a plus), with reusable modules for common patterns.
• Write PowerShell/Python automation to eliminate manual operational work, and improve CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps or equivalent) alongside software engineering teams.
• Design and maintain Azure networking (VNets, NSGs, firewalls, hybrid/private connectivity) and apply security hardening in partnership with the security team.
• Ensure infrastructure and data handling meet GDPR and other applicable regional security and regulatory standards; support audits and governance frameworks (Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud).
• Strengthen observability (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights) and build resilience through redundancy, auto-scaling, and tested backup/DR plans.
• Track cloud spend and drive cost-optimization (rightsizing, reserved capacity) without compromising reliability.
