Key Responsibilities:

· Apply software engineering practices to IT operations to maintain scalable, secure, and highly available production environments.

· Act as a bridge between development and operations by applying engineering rigor to system administration and infrastructure management.

· Design, build, and support infrastructure across DEV, Test, and Production environments.

· Develop and maintain automation using code to analyze logs, monitor systems, test environments, and respond to incidents.

· Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform following organizational best practices.

· Support deployments of Java and Python‑based microservices, containerized workloads, and related cloud services.

· Implement and manage blue‑green deployments, scaling strategies (horizontal and vertical), resiliency, and security postures.

· Support Azure Container Apps (ACA) and Kubernetes platforms (AKS).

· Work with messaging systems, webhooks, Azure Functions, and distributed integrations.

· Support monitoring, logging, and observability using enterprise tools (e.g., ELK, Grafana).

· Partner closely with global Dev, QA, and SRE team members to resolve infrastructure and reliability issues.

· Research, learn, and apply new technologies and solutions as required.

Qualifications:

· 3–5+ years of experience in a Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure‑focused role.

· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.

· Strong hands‑on experience with Azure cloud infrastructure.

· Proven expertise with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

· Strong DevOps/SRE skillset with the ability to work independently and collaborate with other SREs and Dev teams.

· Experience supporting Java and Python microservices in cloud environments.

· Experience with CI/CD pipelines, specifically GitHub Actions/Pipelines.

· Strong understanding of NFRs, including performance, scalability, resiliency, and security.

· Proficiency in one or more programming/scripting languages such as Python, Go, Java, .NET, or Node.js.

· Experience with infrastructure monitoring and logging platforms.

· Strong problem‑solving, research, and multitasking capabilities.

· Clear communication skills to explain technical problems and solutions to diverse stakeholders.

· Ability to support infrastructure needs across multiple time zones with early CST availability.

Preferred Qualifications:

· Experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Container Apps (ACA).

· Experience with messaging systems, event‑driven architectures, and webhooks.

· Hands‑on experience with Azure Functions.

· Experience deploying and managing Azure OpenAI services.
