About this role

Job title: Azure Infrastructure Engineer

About the Role Azure Infrastructure Engineer will design, build, and operate secure, scalable Azure cloud platforms; own core Azure infrastructure while enabling high‑velocity delivery of JVM/Spring Boot services on ACA, App Services, and serverless runtimes. You’ll collaborate with software engineers, SRE, security, and architecture to ensure reliability, observability, and enterprise compliance.

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement Azure landing zones and subscriptions with RBAC, Entra ID integration, MFA, and tagging standards; automate guardrails with policy and role assignments.
  • Build secure virtual networks (VNets), subnets, route tables, NSGs, and Private Endpoints/Private Link.
  • Provision and manage compute/services: ACA, App Services, Functions, VMs, App Config, Key Vault, and SQL Server; define transition patterns from on‑prem to Azure.
  • Partner with Java teams to containerize services, tune JVM, and deploy to ACA/App Services; standardize CI/CD pipelines and blue/green/canary rollouts.
  • Implement serverless schedules for Java workloads using Functions time triggers; automate batch jobs.
  • Enforce secrets management, least‑privilege access, and Entra ID RBAC groups; support data security patterns for analytics (encryption at rest, backups).
  • Establish SLOs/SLIs, dashboards, alerts via Azure Monitor/Log Analytics; enable autoscaling and cost controls.
  • Drive incident response, root‑cause analysis, and post‑mortems; apply resilience patterns (health probes, retry/backoff, circuit breaking).
  • Automate infrastructure with Terraform/Bicep, GitOps, and pipelines; maintain parity across dev/test/prod.
  • Contribute design docs and runbooks; socialize standards for naming, tagging, and environment isolation; review cloud designs for security and compliance.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years in cloud infrastructure or SRE with Azure (networking, compute, storage, identity, security).
  • Hands‑on with ACA, App Services, Functions, Private Endpoints/Private Link, Key Vault, App Config, SQL Server.
  • Strong Java ecosystem familiarity: JVM tuning, Spring Boot, packaging, containerization, deployment to ACA/App Services; serverless batch patterns.
  • IaC (Terraform/Bicep), GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps, and GitOps workflows.
  • Security fundamentals: RBAC, Entra ID, MFA, secrets management, and compliance controls.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with messaging and data platforms (Event Hubs, Service Bus, Kafka/Confluent) and analytics (SQL Server).
  • Observability tooling (Prometheus/Grafana), performance testing, and cost optimization.
  • Certifications: AZ‑104, AZ‑305, AZ‑400.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary range: USD 99,600 – 169,200 per year.
  • Comprehensive benefits: retirement (401k and pension), health/dental/vision, spend‑based accounts, disability, PTO, parental and caregiver leave, life and accident insurance, and other voluntary benefits. Bonus program may include equity.
