Senior Cloud Engineer DevOps & DevSecOps

About the Role:

You will join a technical pod building and operating cloud portal workloads across Azure and GCP. The center of gravity for this role is DevOps and DevSecOps: infrastructure as code secure CI/CD pipelines automation and reliability engineering. You also pick up application-level work on the portal itself when the team needs it so full-stack comfort is expected not optional. You will work alongside a hands-on Technical Team Leader and are expected to use AI-first development practices daily.
