Job description

Job Description:

Design, IaC and Automation:
  • Maintain and improve Terraform‐based templates for consistent, repeatable infrastructure deployments.
  • Leverage best practices for version control (Git branching strategies) and code reviews to minimize drift between dev, test, and prod environments.
Patch and Pipeline Management:
  • Develop and maintain patch scripts and pipelines (Azure Update Manager or similar) to automate OS or platform patching.
  • Coordinate with L2/L3 for safe rollouts of patches and to minimize downtime.
Certificate and Secrets Management:
  • Create, rotate, and securely store certificates, secrets, and SSH keys using Azure Key Vault or appropriate vaulting solutions.
  • Ensure compliance with organizational policies on encryption and key rotation intervals.
  • CI/CD Enhancements.
  • Continuously improve CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, etc) for new or updated Azure resources.
  • Embed security scanning, linting, and compliance checks at various stages of the pipeline.
Environment Consistency and Governance:
  • Implement tooling to maintain consistent dev/test/prod environments, ensuring the IaC definitions match reality (no “drift”).
  • Work with L3 to enforce governance policies (Azure Policy, RBAC, tagging standards) in all deployed environments.
  • Security and Compliance in DevOps.
  • Integrate security scanning tools into pipelines for early detection of vulnerabilities.
  • Work closely with security teams to address compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA, HITRUST, or internal corporate standards).
Skill Set:
  • Strong background in Terraform, version control (Git), and pipeline tooling (Azure DevOps, GitHub).
  • Familiar with modern DevOps practices (GitOps, continuous testing).
  • Comfortable working closely with development teams, L3, and security teams to implement infrastructure changes effectively and securely.
  • Typically, a smaller team of Cloud Engineers can support multiple projects if they have well‐defined pipelines and documentation.
