Job description

Lead Azure Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

About The Role

We are seeking a Lead Azure Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to own the design, standardization, and operation of enterprise Azure infrastructure at scale. This is a technical lead role responsible for Azure platform architecture, automation and governance frameworks, reliability and cost optimization, and for guiding engineering teams and engaging with senior stakeholders and vendors.

Job Description

In This Role, You Will

• Lead the design and implementation of Azure landing zones, subscription/management-group structures, and platform foundations aligned to the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Well-Architected Framework.
• Define and own infrastructure standards, reference architectures, and reusable Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred) modules consumed across teams.
• Architect and govern networking and connectivity at scale — hub-and-spoke/Virtual WAN, VPN/ExpressRoute, routing, DNS, private endpoints, IPAM, and egress/SASE controls — within Azure platform service limits.
• Establish governance, security, and compliance frameworks — Azure Policy guardrails, RBAC and identity models, Key Vault/secrets strategy, tagging, and baseline security controls.
• Drive reliability engineering — HA/DR design, backup strategy, capacity and quota planning, observability, and performance/availability SLOs.
• Own cloud cost governance (FinOps) — optimization strategy, budgeting, rightsizing, and chargeback/show back models.
• Lead end-to-end delivery of infrastructure programs and POCs, including orchestration/automation initiatives and migration/consolidation efforts.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to engineers; conduct architecture and code reviews; raise the team's engineering maturity.
• Engage with senior stakeholders, security/architecture review boards, and vendors (e.g., Microsoft, Zscaler) on design validation and roadmap.
• Evaluate emerging Azure services and tooling and define adoption recommendations and standards.
• Lead complex troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for high-impact incidents, and drive corrective/preventive actions.

What You Must Have To Be Considered

• 6–10 years in cloud infrastructure, with deep, hands-on Azure expertise and a track record of designing and operating at enterprise scale.
• Strong architecture experience across Azure compute, storage, networking, identity (Entra ID), and key PaaS services.
• Expert-level Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) — module/framework design, CI/CD integration, and policy-as-code (Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions).
• Proven experience with landing zones, multi-subscription governance, and management-group design.
• Deep networking knowledge — hybrid connectivity, routing/BGP, segmentation, DNS, IPAM, and egress control; awareness of service limits and capacity planning.
• Strong grasp of cloud security, zero-trust principles, governance, and compliance frameworks.
• Experience leading delivery and mentoring engineers; strong stakeholder communication.
• Scripting/automation proficiency (PowerShell, Azure CLI, Python).

These will help you succeed

• Multi-cloud exposure (AWS and/or GCP) and multi-cloud governance experience.
• Experience with containers/AKS, GitOps, and platform-engineering practices.
• Familiarity with egress/SASE tooling and large-scale IP remediation.
• Exposure to orchestration-based provisioning and subscription-vending automation.
• Certifications: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305), Azure Network Engineer (AZ-700), Azure Administrator (AZ-104), or equivalent.
