About the role
We build and run cloud platforms for our clients. A lot of the time that means standing up a reusable Terraform foundation and adapting it for each client and environment. You'd own these platforms: design them, build them from an empty subscription, keep them running, and act as the person who actually knows how the whole thing fits together. This is a senior role with a lot of trust attached. The clients differ, the topologies differ, the pipelines differ. What stays constant is Azure and the expectation that you can size up an unfamiliar setup, make the right calls, and own the result.
What you'll bring
- Azure experience is the hard requirement.
- You've built and run production Azure yourself, not just used modules someone else wrote.
- Azure networking is where most of the work lives: VNets and subnets, private endpoints and private DNS zones, NSGs and UDRs, NAT, Application Gateway and WAF, load balancers, and hub-and-spoke / Virtual WAN.
- Terraform on Azure, with state treated as something you respect: workspaces, migrations, imports, remote backends, and the discipline not to force an apply through a lifecycle guard.
- The delivery path: Azure Container Registry, VM Scale Sets and cloud-init, and CI/CD with Azure DevOps or GitHub.
- Azure data services: Postgres Flexible Server, managed Redis, Blob storage, and a real sense of their sizing, failover, and cutover risks.
- Entra ID and RBAC: app registrations, service principals, role assignments scoped properly across subscriptions.
- Clear writing and a level head on a live call.
- You can hand someone a runbook they can follow without you in the room.
