- Implement identity wiring (managed identities, SPN/app registrations) and secrets integration (Azure Key Vault, OpenBao) for Azure workloads
- Build and maintain Image Factory pipelines for VM and container golden images (Linux and Windows/cloudbase-init baselines, CIS hardening, image scanning)
- Execute Configuration as Code (Ansible) playbooks for VM post-provisioning and golden-image handoff
- Support Backstage golden-path template integration for Azure provisioning, testing generated infrastructure end-to-end
- Troubleshoot and remediate production issues across Azure automation modules during Implementation and Adoption
- Contribute to module testing, drift detection, and documentation per the platform's Infrastructure as Code Engine standards
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on experience building and operating Azure infrastructure via Terraform/OpenTofu, including CI/CD-driven deployment (Azure DevOps)
- At least 1 year of relevant leadership experience
- Experience operating Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters in production, including networking, policy, and namespace management
- Experience with Azure identity constructs (managed identities, SPN/app registrations) and secrets integration (Key Vault, dynamic secrets)
- Experience with Configuration as Code (Ansible) for VM post-provisioning and golden-image pipelines
- Working knowledge of Azure networking constructs (VNets, private endpoints, NSGs) sufficient to integrate with the network foundation owned by the Network Architect
- Combined proficiency as a Terraform (IaC) and Ansible (CaC) developer, working AI-assisted using GitHub Copilot (provided project-wide) as standard practice
- Excellent command of written and spoken English (B2+ level)
