📋 Description

• We build and run cloud platforms for our clients. • A lot of the time that means standing up a reusable Terraform foundation and adapting it for each client and environment. • You'd own these platforms: design them, build them from an empty subscription, keep them running, and act as the person who actually knows how the whole thing fits together. • This is a senior role with a lot of trust attached. • The clients differ, the topologies differ, the pipelines differ. • What stays constant is Azure and the expectation that you can size up an unfamiliar setup, make the right calls, and own the result. • Make the architecture calls and live with them. • Run migrations that carry real risk. • Move a live platform onto a new foundation, read the plan correctly, write the runbook, and have a rollback ready before you start. • Keep platforms healthy over time: provider upgrades, drift, security, and not letting a shared foundation rot as more clients land on it. • Work directly with the client's own DevOps engineers.

🎯 Requirements

• Azure experience is the hard requirement. • You've built and run production Azure yourself, not just used modules someone else wrote. • Azure networking is where most of the work lives: VNets and subnets, private endpoints and private DNS zones, NSGs and UDRs, NAT, Application Gateway and WAF, load balancers, and hub-and-spoke / Virtual WAN. • Terraform on Azure, with state treated as something you respect: workspaces, migrations, imports, remote backends, and the discipline not to force an apply through a lifecycle guard. • The delivery path: Azure Container Registry, VM Scale Sets and cloud-init, and CI/CD with Azure DevOps or GitHub. • Azure data services: Postgres Flexible Server, managed Redis, Blob storage, and a real sense of their sizing, failover, and cutover risks. • Entra ID and RBAC: app registrations, service principals, role assignments scoped properly across subscriptions. • Clear writing and a level head on a live call. You can hand someone a runbook they can follow without you in the room. • Nice-to-haves: Azure certs (AZ-104, AZ-305). • Temporal or similar workflow runtimes, and scripting (Bash, Python) for the glue. • Past consulting or client-embedded work. You've been the outside expert before.

🏖️ Benefits

• Small senior teams, real ownership • Be a flexible, innovative and creative thinker • Be congenial and a team player • Be self-sufficient • Be self-driven with an ownership mentality • Have a strong work ethic
