Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer
Experience Required: Min 3 Years
Full-Time Job
Role Summary
We are seeking a Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer to support and administer enterprise cloud platforms hosted on Microsoft Azure. This is primarily a cloud administration and operations role, focused on operating, maintaining, monitoring, and supporting an existing cloud platform rather than designing or building new platform components. The role includes Terraform-based infrastructure support, GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) administration, CI/CD operations, cloud networking, identity management, monitoring, and release execution.
Key Responsibilities
- Administer Citadel Platform and AI Application Landing Zones, including Azure subscriptions, resource groups, networking, identity, RBAC, policies, Key Vault/secrets, monitoring and cost controls.
- Own Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code: maintain modules, providers, variables, state/backends, workspaces, plan/apply workflows, drift detection and remediation.
- Operate CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES), including workflows and self-hosted runners; support Azure DevOps integration where applicable.
- Ensure infrastructure and configuration changes are version-controlled and deployed through approved CI/CD processes rather than manual portal changes.
- Monitor platform health, availability, capacity, security alerts and integration failures; support incident triage, RCA inputs and recurring problem tracking.
- Execute controlled releases, deployment verification and rollback procedures in line with approved change-management processes.
- Troubleshoot network, identity, API, data-access and connectivity issues across Azure, GCP and on-premise dependencies.
- Maintain operational runbooks, deployment checklists, configuration/environment inventories and handover documentation; conduct knowledge transfer.
