The Role:
We are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer specializing in Microsoft Azure on behalf of our client to design, automate, and maintain high-availability cloud infrastructure. In this role, you will take operational ownership of enterprise Azure landing zones, container orchestration, and CI/CD pipeline automation—ensuring high reliability, cost efficiency, and zero-trust security compliance. You are a perfect candidate if you are growth-oriented, you love what you do, and you enjoy working on new ideas to develop exciting products.
What we are looking for:
• 5+ years of hands-on cloud engineering experience managing enterprise Microsoft Azure environments, spanning compute, networking (VNets, ExpressRoute, Application Gateways), and storage tiers.
• Advanced mastery of Terraform or Bicep for provision automation, drift detection, and maintaining state files across multi-subscription environments.
• Proven track record building, securing, and scaling Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, managing ingress controllers, and deploying applications using Helm charts.
• Deep proficiency in constructing automated build and deployment pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, enforcing automated security scanning, policy compliance, and zero-downtime releases.
• Solid understanding of cloud security governance using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Azure Key Vault, Azure Policy, and implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) under a Zero Trust model.
• Experience configuring end-to-end monitoring and alerting using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, or third-party platforms (Datadog, Dynatrace).
• Located in CET timezone (+/- 3 hours), we are unable to consider applications from candidates in other time zones.
Nice-to-have:
• Azure certifications such as AZ-104 (Azure Administrator), AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect), or AZ-400 (DevOps Engineer Expert).
• Programming literacy in Python, Go, or PowerShell/Bash for infrastructure scripting and operator development.
• Experience with cloud cost optimization frameworks (FinOps) and managing Azure Cost Management policies.
• Exposure to hybrid cloud configurations or Azure Arc implementations.
Responsibilities:
• Architect and deploy enterprise-grade Azure infrastructure using Terraform/Bicep, maintaining modular IaC libraries and strict state management workflows.
• Provision, patch, and optimize Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, managing autoscaling, ingress routing, and service mesh policies.
• Design, maintain, and secure automated CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions to accelerate developer deployment cycles.
• Enforce Azure Policy guardrails, audit IAM roles via Entra ID, manage secret rotation in Key Vault, and mitigate vulnerabilities identified by Defender for Cloud.
• Monitor system metrics, respond to infrastructure incidents, conduct root-cause analyses (RCA), and optimize cloud resource utilization to drive cost efficiencies.
What we offer:

No more unreliable clients. Enjoy on-time monthly payments with flexible withdrawal options.
Predictable project hours
Enjoy a harmonious work-life balance with consistent 8-hour working days with clients.
