- Automated Infrastructure & CI/CD: Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (ARM/Bicep) and CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps for secure, compliant deployments.
- Platform Security & Reliability: Ensure high availability, security-by-design, performance optimization, and active participation in 24/7 standby rotations for mission-critical systems.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with architects, developers, and platform teams to build developer self-service tooling and elevate the enterprise integration ecosystem.
Required Qualifications:
- Experience: 8–20 years of relevant experience in Azure platform engineering.
- Core Technical Skills: Hands-on Azure infrastructure setup/optimization, IaC (ARM/Bicep), Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, RESTful API integration, and security-by-design principles.
- Preferred Experience: Enabling and implementing Agentic AI solutions using Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Operational Requirements: Ability to participate in 24/7 standby/on-call rotation; fluent English communication skills.
