The role

• We are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer specializing in Microsoft Azure on behalf of our client to design, automate, and maintain high-availability cloud infrastructure.
• In this role, you will take operational ownership of enterprise Azure landing zones, container orchestration, and CI/CD pipeline automation—ensuring high reliability, cost efficiency, and zero-trust security compliance.
• You are a perfect candidate if you are growth-oriented, you love what you do, and you enjoy working on new ideas to develop exciting products.
• What we are looking for: 5+ years of hands-on cloud engineering experience managing enterprise Microsoft Azure environments, spanning compute, networking (VNets, ExpressRoute, Application Gateways), and storage tiers.
• Advanced mastery of Terraform or Bicep for provision automation, drift detection, and maintaining state files across multi-subscription environments.
• Proven track record building, securing, and scaling Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, managing ingress controllers, and deploying applications using Helm charts.
• Deep proficiency in constructing automated build and deployment pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, enforcing automated security scanning, policy compliance, and zero-downtime releases.
• Solid understanding of cloud security governance using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Azure Key Vault, Azure Policy, and implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) under a Zero Trust model.
• Experience configuring end-to-end monitoring and alerting using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, or third-party platforms (Datadog, Dynatrace).
• Located in CET timezone (+/- 3 hours), we are unable to consider applications from candidates in other time zones.
