Job Description

About the Role:

You will join a technical pod building and operating cloud portal workloads across Azure and GCP. The center of gravity for this role is DevOps and DevSecOps: infrastructure as code, secure CI/CD pipelines, automation, and reliability engineering. You also pick up application-level work on the portal itself when the team needs it, so full-stack comfort is expected, not optional. You will work alongside a hands-on Technical Team Leader and are expected to use AI-first development practices daily.

Responsibilities

Infrastructure as Code

• Design, develop, and maintain reusable Terraform and Ansible modules for Azure and GCP.
• Enforce configuration standards and policy-as-code practices across environments.

Cloud Engineering (Azure and GCP)

• Build and operate scalable, secure Azure and GCP environments: AKS/GKE, App Gateway, VNets, NSGs, Key Vault, Managed Identities.
• Implement governance, cost optimization, and compliance controls across subscriptions and projects.

CI/CD & Automation

• Build and optimize Jenkins and GitHub Actions pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment across environments.
• Implement blue/green, canary, and rollback deployment strategies with observability and alerting.

DevSecOps & Security

• Integrate vulnerability scanning, code analysis, and compliance checks into CI/CD workflows.
• Manage secrets, certificates, and key material with secure vault solutions.
• Partner with security teams to align infrastructure with FedRAMP, FIPS, ISO, PCI standards.

Application Work (Portal Use Cases)

• Contribute to basic portal application code (modern JS/TS frontend, REST API endpoints, simple backend handlers) when the work calls for it.
• Wire applications into the platform: observability, secrets, auth, and deployment patterns the team has standardized on.

Monitoring & Reliability

• Implement proactive monitoring with Azure Monitor, Google Cloud Monitoring, Prometheus, Grafana, Log Analytics.
• Define and tune SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets aligned to business outcomes.

Collaboration & Agile Practices

• Partner with product and engineering teammates in agile ceremonies: planning, standups, retrospectives, release management, and post-incident reviews.

• Application-level comfort: building or maintaining portal-style web apps (modern JS/TS frontend plus a REST backend).
• Working fluency with AI-first development: daily use of AI coding assistants, prompt and context discipline, comfort reviewing AI-generated output for correctness and security.
