TL;DR · Azure Infrastructure Engineer

As an Azure Infrastructure Engineer, you will join a technical team to design, build, and operate secure, scalable cloud platforms while collaborating with Java engineering teams. You will manage core infrastructure including networking, compute, storage, and security, specifically focusing on ACA (Azure Container Apps), App Services, Functions, Key Vault, and SQL Server. Your daily work involves implementing landing zones, managing Private Endpoints, enforcing RBAC and Entra ID controls, and automating infrastructure using Terraform or Bicep within GitOps workflows. You will also support Java application delivery by tuning JVMs, containerizing Spring Boot microservices, and establishing observability through Azure Monitor. The role addresses the challenge of ensuring reliable, compliant enterprise systems while managing the transition of on-premise workloads to cloud environments, ensuring high-velocity delivery for complex financial service applications.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement Azure landing zones using RBAC, Entra ID, and automated policy guardrails.
  • Build secure virtual networks using Private Endpoints and Private Link to isolate services from public exposure.
  • Provision and manage cloud resources including Azure Container Apps, App Services, Functions, and SQL Server.
  • Partner with Java teams to containerize services, tune JVM performance, and deploy Spring Boot applications.
  • Implement serverless batch job orchestration using Azure Functions and time triggers.
  • Enforce security standards through Key Vault secrets management and identity-based access controls.
  • Establish observability via Azure Monitor and Log Analytics while implementing autoscaling and cost controls.
  • Automate infrastructure deployment using Terraform, Bicep, and GitOps workflows to maintain environment parity.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure or SRE with Azure networking, compute, storage, identity, and security.
  • Hands-on experience with Azure Container Apps (ACA), App Services, Functions, Private Endpoints/Link, Key Vault, App Config, and SQL Server.
  • Strong familiarity with the Java ecosystem including JVM tuning, Spring Boot microservices, containerization, and serverless batch patterns.
  • Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Bicep) and GitOps workflows using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
  • Knowledge of security fundamentals including RBAC, Entra ID, MFA, secrets management, and compliance controls.
  • Experience with messaging/data platforms like Event Hubs, Service Bus, or Kafka is preferred.
  • AZ-104, AZ-305, or AZ-400 certifications are preferred.
  • Authorized to work.
