You will work within an established platform direction set by our Architecture and Engineering Leadership, and your focus will be on implementing, automating, and operating the platform components that bring that direction to life.
We are looking for a builderand innovator mindsetwho enjoys turning patterns and standards into production-ready, well-automated infrastructure thatourdevelopersand customerslove to consume.
Key Responsibilities
Build and maintain:Implement multi-cloud infrastructure (primarily Azure, with AWS where applicable) following established platform patterns and standards.
Infrastructure as Code:Write, maintain, and refactor Terraform modules. Apply DRY principles across landscapes and contribute to our shared module library.
Configuration automation:Develop Ansible playbooks, roles, and collections for OS-level configuration and zero-downtime deployments.
Operate AI-ready services:Provision and operate the cognitive service environments (Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock) that our application teams consume.
CI/CD delivery:Build and maintain Azure DevOps pipelines for infrastructureplatformprovisioning and configuration management.
Day-2 operations:Troubleshoot, patch, harden, and monitor platform components. You own the health of what you build.
Collaboration:Work closely with Architects, Developers, and Operations to turn requirements and patterns into working code.
