TL;DR · Azure Infrastructure Engineer

The Azure Infrastructure Engineer joins the team to design, build, and operate secure, scalable cloud platforms while collaborating with Java engineering teams. This role involves owning core Azure infrastructure, including networking, compute, storage, and security, to enable high-velocity delivery of JVM and Spring Boot services. Key responsibilities include implementing Azure landing zones, managing ACA, App Services, Functions, and SQL Server, and enforcing security via RBAC, Entra ID, and Key Vault. You will automate infrastructure using Terraform, Bicep, and GitOps workflows while establishing observability through Azure Monitor and Log Analytics. The position requires deep expertise in Azure networking, private endpoints, and Java ecosystem tuning to solve complex problems regarding service isolation, secrets management, and reliable cloud migration for enterprise applications.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement Azure landing zones with RBAC, Entra ID integration, and automated policy guardrails.
  • Build secure virtual networks using subnets, route tables, NSGs, and Private Endpoints to isolate services.
  • Provision and manage Azure Container Apps, App Services, Functions, VMs, and SQL Server instances.
  • Partner with Java teams to containerize services, tune JVM performance, and manage CI/CD deployment pipelines.
  • Enforce secrets management using Key Vault and implement least-privilege access controls across the platform.
  • Establish SLOs, dashboards, and alerting via Azure Monitor while implementing autoscaling and cost controls.
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and environment parity using Terraform, Bicep, and GitOps workflows.
  • Drive incident response, root-cause analysis, and the implementation of resilience patterns like circuit breaking.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure or SRE with Azure.
  • Must have hands-on experience with ACA, App Services, Functions, Private Endpoints, Key Vault, App Config, and SQL Server.
  • Must have strong Java ecosystem familiarity including JVM tuning, Spring Boot microservices, containerization, and serverless batch patterns.
  • Must be proficient in IaC (Terraform/Bicep), GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps, and GitOps workflows.
  • Must possess security fundamentals including RBAC, Entra ID, MFA, secrets management, and compliance controls.
  • Experience with messaging and data platforms like Event Hubs, Service Bus, Kafka/Confluent, and analytics (preferred).
  • Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus/Grafana), performance testing, and cost optimization (preferred).
  • AZ-104, AZ-305, or AZ-400 certifications (preferred).
