Job: Experienced Platform Engineer - Azure at Mindera

We're seeking a skilled and passionate Platform Engineer with strong expertise in Azure and a solid software engineering background to join our growing Platform Engineering team. You’ll play a key role in designing, building, and evolving the core infrastructure and internal developer platform that empowers our engineering teams to build, deploy.

This platform will heavily leverage Azure services- with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) at its core for container orchestration - and will be built with a strong emphasis on automation, scalability, security, and performance.

Your responsibilities will span both infrastructure and developer tooling, ensuring high availability and operational excellence while continuously enhancing the developer experience (DevX).This includes creating tools and automation for infrastructure provisioning, continuous integration and delivery, and application lifecycle management, all while leveraging the power of Azure services and adhering to GitOps principles for a secure SDLC.

If you're passionate about building elegant solutions to complex challenges and thrive in a collaborative environment, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Strong foundation in software engineering principles and practices, with a focus on cloud-native development and deployment methodologies.
• Extensive experience with the Azure cloud platform, and Azure solution architecture and best practices, including knowledge of Azure services relevant to cloud software development, AKS, networking, storage, and other Azure services relevant to Kubernetes deployments.
• Strong understanding of both infrastructure and software engineering principles, with a focus on cloud-native technologies and Kubernetes, including cluster administration, application deployment, networking, and security.
• Experience with open-source tools and technologies commonly used in Kubernetes environments, such as FluxCD, Kong, and Linkerd, and their integration with Azure.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps principles, ideally with experience in GitHub Actions or similar tools, and their integration with Azure Resource Manager and Kubernetes.

Required Qualifications

• Experience with software development lifecycle (SDLC) and agile methodologies, with a focus on secure development practices and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD).
• Experience with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code principles, specifically for Azure and Kubernetes deployments.
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., Go, C#, JS).
• Understanding of user experience (UX) and developer experience (DevX) principles, with a focus on designing and building user-friendly cloud-based tools and platforms.
• Strong understanding of security best practices and zero-trust principles, with knowledge of Azure and Kubernetes security features and best practices.
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills, with experience in troubleshooting and resolving issues in cloud-based applications.
• Ability to learn and adapt to new technologies quickly, particularly in the rapidly evolving cloud landscape.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience in working effectively with cross-functional teams in a cloud environment.
