Senior Azure Platform Engineer / DevOps Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a highly technical Senior Azure Platform Engineer / DevOps Engineer to design, build, and own the cloud platform, CI/CD pipelines, and operational foundations for a growing SaaS platform. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on platform reliability, deployment automation, security, and developer enablement. You will define how software is built, deployed, monitored, and operated in production not simply maintain existing infrastructure. You will work closely with application engineers, QA automation, and product teams to ensure the platform enables rapid delivery without compromising reliability, security, or cost efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Azure Platform Ownership: Design, implement, and maintain a scalable Azure cloud platform supporting a SaaS application
• Own core Azure services including compute, networking, storage, identity, and security
• Establish standards for environment design (dev, test, staging, production)
• Ensure high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance across the platform
• CI/CD & Release Engineering: Design and maintain Azure DevOps pipelines for build, test, and deployment
• Implement automated deployments for .NET / ASP.NET / .NET Core applications
• Enable safe deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags where applicable)
• Embed quality, security, and compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines
• Improve deployment speed, reliability, and rollback capabilities
• Infrastructure as Code & Automation: Build and manage infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (ARM, Bicep, Terraform, or equivalent)
• Automate environment provisioning and teardown
• Reduce manual operational work through scripting and automation
• Standardize platform patterns to improve consistency and reduce drift
• Security, Reliability & Operations: Partner with security teams to implement secure-by-default platform configurations
• Manage secrets, identity, and access using Azure-native tooling
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting to ensure strong observability
• Own incident response, root cause analysis, and post-incident improvements
• Drive reliability engineering practices (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets where appropriate)
• Developer Enablement & Collaboration: Work closely with software engineers to improve developer experience and productivity
• Provide guidance on application architecture from a platform and operational perspective
• Participate in design reviews to ensure solutions are deployable, scalable, and supportable
• Serve as a technical partner rather than a gatekeeper
• Continuous Improvement: Continuously evaluate platform performance, cost, and reliability
• Optimize Azure spend without compromising service quality
• Stay current with Azure platform capabilities, DevOps tooling, and cloud best practices

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure roles
• Deep hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure in production environments
• Strong experience with Azure DevOps pipelines and release automation
• 5+ years of experience supporting .NET / ASP.NET / .NET Core applications, JavaScript as well as Bootstrap Front End Frameworks.
• 5+ years of experience with Microsoft SQL Server and familiarity writing medium/complex SQL Statements
• Proven experience designing and managing CI/CD systems at scale
• Strong scripting and automation skills (PowerShell, Bash, or similar)
• Solid understanding of networking, security, and cloud architecture principles

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting SaaS or multi-tenant platforms
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tooling (Terraform, Bicep, ARM)
• Familiarity with containerization and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, AKS)
• Experience implementing observability stacks (logs, metrics, tracing)
• Background in reliability engineering or production operations at scale
• Experience mentoring engineers or defining platform standards
