Job description

About CPT Group

CPT Group has been a trusted leader in class action and bankruptcy administration since 1984. We support attorneys, corporations, courts, and consumers nationwide through claims administration, legal noticing, settlement administration, and large-scale data processing.

As we continue modernizing our technology platform, we are investing in cloud-native architecture, modern software development, automation, and scalable engineering practices. Our engineering team plays a direct role in shaping the company's future, and we value collaboration, ownership, practical problem-solving, and continuous learning.

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer – Cloud Platform & Azure to accelerate our cloud platform initiatives and contribute directly to the design, development, and operation of modern business-critical applications and services.

About the Role

This is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on software engineering, cloud platform development, and Microsoft Azure technologies.

We are looking for an experienced engineer who combines strong software development fundamentals with deep Azure expertise. The ideal candidate enjoys building new solutions, solving complex technical challenges, improving infrastructure practices, and helping teams move faster through practical experience and Azure expertise.

This is not a people-management position. Instead, the role focuses on enterprise infrastructure and partnering with a variety of teams to improve cloud architecture, platform reliability, deployment processes, and long-term maintainability.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain Azure infrastructure, APIs, and platform services.
• Contribute across the stack using technologies including Azure, .NET, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and related technologies.
• Design and implement secure, scalable Azure-based solutions.
• Partner with engineering teams to improve cloud architecture and deployment practices.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code solutions using Terraform, Bicep, ARM, or similar technologies.
• Improve GitHub CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, monitoring, logging, and operational reliability.
• Support authentication, authorization, identity management, API Management, networking, and cloud security initiatives in Azure.
• Evaluate existing systems and identify opportunities for simplification, modernization, and operational improvement.
• Contribute to architectural discussions and help establish practical implementation roadmaps.
• Assist with modernization efforts and decisions as legacy applications and infrastructure are transitioned to modern platforms.

What Success Looks Like

• Accelerate the delivery of new cloud infrastructure and services.
• Improve the speed, consistency, and reliability of Azure deployments.
• Establish scalable patterns for authentication, authorization, and API management.
• Create reusable Infrastructure as Code standards and templates.
• Improve deployment automation and operational visibility.
• Contribute to modernization initiatives across business-critical systems.
• Help engineering teams make informed cloud architecture decisions through practical experience and collaboration.

Required Qualifications

• 9+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Expert experience working with Microsoft Azure in enterprise environments.
• Expert experience designing, building, deploying, and supporting cloud-based applications and services.
• Expert experience with Infrastructure as Code technologies such as Terraform, Bicep, ARM, or similar tools.
• Experience with CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
• Experience with Azure services such as:
  • Azure Functions
  • App Services
  • API Management
  • Entra ID
  • Key Vault
  • Storage Accounts
  • Azure Monitoring
  • Related Azure platform services
• Expert experience designing and consuming REST APIs.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or similar technologies.
• Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, application security, and cloud operations.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate existing systems, identify improvement opportunities, and create practical implementation plans.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience creating and maintaining enterprise-grade infrastructure.
• Experience with React and TypeScript.
• Experience with .NET and C#.
• Experience working in regulated, compliance-focused, legal, financial, healthcare, or similar industries.
• Experience supporting highly available production systems.
• Experience helping teams improve cloud adoption, deployment processes, or platform maturity.
• Experience operating Azure environments at scale.

Why Join CPT Group

• Work with a collaborative engineering team that values ideas, ownership, and technical excellence.
• Help shape the future of a growing organization undergoing significant modernization efforts.
• Participate in meaningful technical discussions where the best ideas win regardless of title.
• Build real-world systems that directly impact critical business operations.
• Enjoy a supportive environment that balances focused execution with collaboration, planning, and continuous improvement.
• Have the opportunity to work with modern technologies while helping guide long-term platform evolution.
