Job Description

We are driving a large‑scale migration from on‑prem infrastructure to Azure as part of a high‑impact cloud transformation initiative. This role focuses on execution, reliability, and speed, supporting the movement of existing services into the cloud while improving the tooling and processes already in place.
We’re looking for someone who is comfortable jumping into existing systems, debugging issues, and independently moving work forward while collaborating closely across engineering and platform teams. This is an ideal role for an experienced Platform, Cloud or DevOps‑leaning engineer who enjoys ownership and hands‑on problem solving.
What You’ll Do
-Drive the migration of services from on‑prem environments to Azure, ensuring stability, parity, and reliability throughout the process
-Work hands‑on with Azure deployments, configuration changes, and environment setup
-Debug and resolve issues across infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and service configurations
-Leverage and improve existing automation and deployment tooling, rather than building net‑new systems from scratch
-Write and debug deployment and configuration code using C#, PowerShell, and other scripting languages as needed
-Coordinate closely with cross‑functional engineering, platform, and infrastructure teams to unblock dependencies and keep migrations moving
-Manage assigned services independently while communicating progress, risks, and blockers clearly
-Use metrics and telemetry to inform decisions and improve migration speed and reliability
