Job Description
We are looking for a hands-on Cloud Engineer with deep experience in cloud infrastructure, automation, and—most importantly—migrating legacy on-premises applications to modern cloud platforms. This role is central to our digital transformation efforts, with a primary focus on Microsoft Azure, and exposure to GCP and AWS.
In this role, your day will revolve around leading and executing cloud migration projects. You’ll begin by reviewing the status of active migrations, ensuring timelines and technical requirements are met. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on priorities and resolve blockers.
You’ll analyze legacy systems to determine the best migration strategy—lift-and-shift, re-platform, or refactor—then design and implement scalable, secure cloud architectures. This includes provisioning infrastructure in Azure, configuring networking and storage, and integrating serverless services like Azure Functions.
Automation is key: you’ll use Terraform, ARM templates, or CloudFormation to manage infrastructure as code, ensuring consistency and compliance. You’ll also build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, integrating testing, security, and rollback capabilities.
Monitoring and optimization are part of your daily routine. You’ll use tools like Azure Monitor and Application Insights to track performance, manage costs, and ensure availability. You’ll document architecture, processes, and runbooks, and act as a Tier 2/3 escalation point for cloud-related incidents.
You’ll stay current with evolving cloud technologies, continuously improving our migration processes and cloud operations.
We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
