• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting to maintain visibility into system health and performance across environments
• Collaborate with development teams to containerize applications and support Kubernetes-based deployments
• Drive automation initiatives to reduce manual operational work and improve release velocity
• Support incident response and troubleshooting for infrastructure and pipeline issues, participating in on-call rotation as needed
• Apply security best practices across infrastructure and pipelines, including secrets management, least-privilege access, and compliance alignment
• Document infrastructure, processes, and runbooks to support team knowledge-sharing and onboarding

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of experience in a DevOps, Site Reliability, or Cloud Infrastructure Engineering role
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (VMs, networking, storage, Entra ID/RBAC)

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, security best practices, and identity/access management in cloud environments
• Strong troubleshooting skills and comfort working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Nice to Have

• Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-400, or AZ-500)
• Experience with secrets management tools (Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault)
• Exposure to multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP)
• Experience supporting compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA
