Job summary

Delavan Holdings is seeking a Platform Engineer to own our Azure cloud environment, Kubernetes platforms, and infrastructure-as-code in a hands-on, on-site role in Delavan, WI. You will build, operate, and optimize the entire platform stack for multiple operating companies, including observability, CI/CD, and security practices.

As the first dedicated platform engineer, you will define scalable IaC, manage container platforms, and drive proactive incident response while collaborating with data,

Qualifications

• 3+ years in platform engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, cloud, or site reliability engineering.
• Hands-on Azure: Entra ID, RBAC, service principals and managed identities, virtual networks, DNS, firewalls, private endpoints, and core compute and storage services
• Production Kubernetes experience (AKS or EKS), including deployments, networking, scaling, and upgrades
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform, Bicep, or similar. Depth in the underlying skills matters more to us than the specific tool
• Strong PowerShell or Bash scripting, practiced inside a modern workflow: Git and GitHub, code review, and documenting and testing changes as routine
• Strong SQL and comfort supporting database and data platform infrastructure
• Monitoring and observability with Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Datadog, or equivalent, used to drive real incident response
• Backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity practice, including recovery testing, plus cloud cost monitoring and management
• Sound security and data governance habits: least-privilege access, secret management, and careful handling of sensitive data across multiple entities
• Advanced fluency with AI tools in engineering work, such as coding agents and assistants for infrastructure code, troubleshooting, and documentation, paired with the judgment to verify what they produce
• Strong written communication and documentation habits, with the ability to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Responsibilities

• Build, operate, and maintain our Azure environment end to end: subscriptions, cloud identity and access, networking, compute, and storage, plus the cost discipline to keep spend predictable
• Define and manage infrastructure as code in Terraform or Bicep, kept in GitHub with code review and documented changes
• Operate the container platforms running our internal applications and services, including the API and AI gateway components, and administer the gateways themselves
• Own monitoring, alerting, and observability: build the dashboards and the alerts that are actually actionable, and serve as primary responder for infrastructure incidents and outages
• Diagnose to root cause, ship the fix, communicate status to affected teams, write the RCA, and run the lessons-learned review
• Maintain the infrastructure beneath our data platform, including compute, storage, orchestration, and connectivity, in partnership with the data and analytics team
• Manage backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity for platform-hosted systems, including regular recovery testing
• Handle credentials, access, and data responsibly across entities: least-privilege access, secrets out of code, and respect for entity boundaries and data governance
• Take changes through design, build, test, and release, deploying through staged Azure environments with controlled releases
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, standups, reviews, and retrospectives, keeping work broken down and current in Asana
• Partner with forward deployed engineers, the data team, and IT to unblock deployments and make the safe path the easy path
• Use AI tools at an advanced level in daily work: writing and reviewing infrastructure code, diagnosing issues, drafting documentation, and automating routine tasks, while verifying output and owning the result
• Strong written communication and documentation habits, with the ability to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders
