Qualifications

• Ability to write and improve Terraform modules from the ground up with a focus on validation, optimization, reusability, and backward compatibility.
• Proven capability to troubleshoot complex pipeline runs and handle state modifications (basic resource management is not sufficient).
• Deep understanding of secure, production-ready IaC creation.
• Extensive hands-on experience with Azure Landing Zone concepts.
• Advanced Azure networking implementation (Hub-and-Spoke, Private DNS, Service/Private Endpoints at scale).
• Comprehensive Azure Identity and Access Management expertise (Entra ID, Managed Identities, Federated Credentials, OIDC, App Registrations, and Service Principals).
• Client-Oriented & Proactive: Strong consultative mindset with the ability to lead work and drive conversations with stakeholders rather than waiting for instructions.
• Collaborative: Excellent partnering skills across cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Infrastructure Provisioning & Management: Hands-on creation and modification of Azure infrastructure using modular Terraform, including complex Terraform state modifications.

• AI-Assisted Development Governance: Leverage AI tools to accelerate development while acting as the technical authority—setting the right context, validating outputs against corporate standards, and ensuring solutions go beyond generic AI templates.
• Security & Compliance: Ensure all IaC creation strictly conforms to security guardrails, compliance frameworks, and industry best practices.
• Collaboration & Leadership: Act as a trusted technical advisor to cross-functional teams and stakeholders, leading conversations and driving technical direction.
• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Champion Documentation-as-Code (DaC) practices and foster a collaborative environment through active knowledge sharing.
