Job summary

INSPYR Solutions in Houston, TX seeks a Sr. Azure Cloud Engineer for a hybrid role (onsite 3 days/week in downtown Houston). The Senior Cloud Engineer will build, automate, and operate an Azure-native platform with IaC, GitHub-based delivery, and self-service capabilities.

Responsibilities include developing Terraform/Bicep modules, CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and enforcing policies to maintain security, cost control, and compliance across Linux and Windows environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8 years in infrastructure support or engineering with demonstrated progression.
• 6 years in cloud engineering, infrastructure automation, or platform engineering.
• Production experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform and/or Bicep), including reusable modules and state management.
• Hands-on experience with Git/GitHub and GitHub Actions for CI/CD or similar product.
• Demonstrated coding ability in Python and/or PowerShell, evidenced by repositories or work samples.
• Experience managing both Linux and Windows systems through automation (e.g., Ansible, Microsoft Intune and/or Group Policy).

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain infrastructure as code (Terraform and/or Bicep) and reusable modules to provision Azure resources consistently across environments and sites
• Build CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and enforce GitOps workflows where changes flow through version control, pull requests, and peer review
• Build and iterate golden paths and self-service capabilities, with guardrails codified as policy to keep provisioning within security, cost, and tagging standards
• Document platform capabilities so internal teams can consume them without one-to-one engineering support
• Manage Linux and Windows configuration through automation---Ansible and SUSE Manager (or equivalent) for Linux; Microsoft Intune and/or Group Policy for Windows---rather than manual, host-by-host changes
• Maintain baseline images and standards so new hosts, including field and edge compute, are provisioned in a known, compliant state
• Operate Azure landing zones and platform services within an Entra ID / Zero Trust model, with observability across monitoring, logging, alerting, and cost
• Ensure changes flow through auditable pipelines supporting SOX IT and apply NERC CIP-aligned controls where platform components support in-scope systems
