• Implement containerization and orchestration solutions using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS/EKS). 

• Implement cloud security best practices including identity and access management (IAM), encryption, firewall rules, and network security controls. 

• Configure monitoring, logging, and observability solutions using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, or Azure Monitor to ensure system reliability and performance. 

• Perform troubleshooting, performance tuning, and cost optimization to maintain efficient and reliable cloud operations. 

• Collaborate with internal teams and clients in Agile/Scrum environments while communicating effectively with stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery. 

What we’re looking for  

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field preferred, or equivalent practical experience. 

• 7–10 years of relevant experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or a similar role.

• Strong experience with cloud infrastructure services, including: 

• Azure: Azure Virtual Machines, VNet, Azure Storage, Azure Functions, Azure Monitor, Azure DNS, Azure AD, Load Balancers, Traffic Manager, and Application Gateway. 

• AWS: EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, Route 53, CloudWatch, Elastic Load Balancer (ALB/NLB), Auto Scaling, and related networking services. 

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, PowerShell, Azure Bicep, ARM templates, or AWS CloudFormation. 

• Experience in cloud migration and disaster recovery planning, including hands-on experience with tools such as Azure Migrate, Azure Site Recovery (ASR), and similar migration frameworks for workload assessment, migration, and Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) implementations. 

• Working experience with CI/CD tools and version control systems such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Git, GitHub, or Azure Repos. 

• Experience with cloud migration initiatives using tools such as Azure Migrate, AWS Migration Hub, or similar migration frameworks. 

• Strong operating system experience with both Linux/Unix and Windows environments, including troubleshooting and system administration.

• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, Azure Monitor, or AWS CloudWatch. 

• Experience deploying and managing applications in cloud environments, including production-grade distributed systems.
