About the role :

We are seeking a skilled Senior Cloud Platform Engineer I to design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable, and well-governed Microsoft Azure cloud environments. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in Azure Landing Zones, cloud governance, networking, infrastructure automation, and CI/CD pipelines.

This role will be responsible for establishing cloud platform standards, implementing infrastructure as code, managing enterprise connectivity, and ensuring the reliability, security, and operational efficiency of Azure environments. The successful candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable cloud solutions aligned with organizational architecture and security requirements.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Azure Landing Zone and Cloud Governance

• Design, implement, and maintain Azure Landing Zones using hub-and-spoke architecture and enterprise-scale landing zone principles.
• Define and manage management groups, subscription structures, resource organization, tagging strategies, and cloud cost-management policies.
• Implement and maintain Azure Policy initiatives, role-based access control (RBAC), and identity governance.
• Configure and manage Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), including conditional access and access-management controls.
• Establish governance standards to ensure compliance, security, scalability, and cost optimization across Azure environments.
• Utilize Azure Landing Zone accelerators and related tools to streamline cloud platform deployments.

2. Cloud Networking and Security

• Architect and manage secure, scalable Azure network environments using Azure Virtual WAN (VWAN), hub-and-spoke networking, and Virtual Network Manager.
• Design and manage enterprise connectivity using ExpressRoute (ER), site-to-site VPNs, DNS, and IP address management.
• Configure and maintain Azure network security controls, including firewalls, Network Virtual Appliances (NVAs), routing, and network segmentation.
• Troubleshoot network connectivity, routing, name-resolution, and firewall-related issues.
• Implement networking best practices to support secure communication between on-premises infrastructure, Azure resources, and other cloud environments.

3. Infrastructure Automation and CI/CD

• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform and configuration-management automation using Ansible.
• Implement automated infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and deployment workflows using Harness.
• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for consistent, repeatable, and reliable cloud deployments.
• Integrate infrastructure code repositories, artifact management, validation, and deployment processes into automated delivery pipelines.
• Apply version control, code reviews, reusable modules, and automation standards to improve deployment quality and operational consistency.

4. Monitoring, Logging, and Troubleshooting

• Configure and maintain centralized monitoring, logging, and alerting using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.
• Develop monitoring solutions to track platform health, resource utilization, network performance, and operational availability.
• Troubleshoot infrastructure, networking, deployment, and performance issues across Azure environments.
• Analyze logs and monitoring data to identify root causes and implement corrective and preventive measures.
• Support continuous improvement of platform reliability, operational efficiency, and cloud resource utilization.

5. Scripting and Collaboration

• Develop automation scripts using Bash, PowerShell, and Python to simplify cloud operations and reduce manual effort.
• Use GitHub for source control, collaboration, code reviews, and infrastructure code management.
• Manage build artifacts and dependencies using JFrog Artifactory.
• Collaborate with cloud architects, security teams, DevOps engineers, application teams, and infrastructure stakeholders.
• Maintain technical documentation, operational procedures, architecture diagrams, and deployment standards.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of cloud engineering practices, security controls, and platform automation.

Required Qualifications :

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Demonstrated experience in Azure cloud engineering, platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, or a related technical role.
• Hands-on experience designing and implementing Azure Landing Zones and enterprise-scale cloud governance.
• Strong knowledge of Azure networking, hybrid connectivity, identity management, and cloud security principles.
• Practical experience with Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD automation tools such as Harness.
• Experience developing automation scripts using Bash, PowerShell, and Python.
• Familiarity with GitHub, JFrog Artifactory, Azure Monitor, and Log Analytics.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.
