  • Develop Infrastructure as Code solutions using Terraform to provision and automate Azure resources and AKS clusters.
  • Design and maintain platform observability frameworks using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace, and OpenTelemetry.
  • Implement secure AKS architectures including network policies, identity management, and automated container security scanning.
  • Lead complex troubleshooting across Kubernetes, Azure infrastructure, and network layers to ensure system reliability.
  • Drive cost optimization and capacity management for cloud resources following FinOps practices.
  • Partner with application teams to migrate and modernize workloads into containerized, cloud-native architectures.

What we're looking for
