Cloud Engineer

Cloud Engineer requires:

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Information Technology or a related field or equivalent professional experience.
• 3 years of hands-on cloud engineering experience in a production enterprise environment (Microsoft Azure required).
• Demonstrated proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform Ansible Bicep ARM templates or equivalent) and version control (Git).
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python Bash or equivalent) for automation and tooling development.
• Strong understanding of cloud networking virtualization containerization (Docker Kubernetes) and cloud security principles.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices in a cloud-native context.
• Microsoft Azure certification strongly preferred Azure Solutions Architect Expert Azure Administrator Associate or Azure DevOps Engineer Expert.
• Experience with FinOps practices and cloud cost optimization at enterprise scale. Familiarity with monitoring and observability platforms (Prometheus Grafana Datadog Azure Monitor Application Insights or equivalent).
• Experience in pharmaceutical healthcare life sciences or other regulated industries particularly with GxP 21 CFR Part 11 or HIPAA cloud compliance requirements.
• Experience with Kubernetes in production (Azure Kubernetes Service / AKS or self-managed) including cluster operations and workload management.
• Background in cloud security architecture: IAM design secrets management network security groups and cloud-native security tooling.
• Deep hands-on cloud expertise build and operate production cloud infrastructure and you hold yourself accountable for its reliability security and cost.
• Infrastructure-as-code as a default practice: write Terraform or equivalent as naturally as you use the cloud console and you understand why that matters for consistency auditability and scale.
• A security-conscious engineering mindset design with least privilege defense in depth and compliance requirements built in from the start not retrofitted under pressure.
• A cost-conscious approach: care about what cloud resources cost design systems that deliver value without unnecessary spend and proactively surface optimization opportunities.

DUTIES:

• Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure Design and deploy cloud architectures on Microsoft Azure that meet performance security availability and cost-efficiency requirements for a diverse portfolio of enterprise and research applications.
• Architect and implement cloud networking compute storage and identity constructs with security built in from the outset applying least-privilege principles network segmentation encryption and defense-in-depth across every layer.
• Evaluate and recommend cloud services architectural patterns and infrastructure approaches; build evidence-based adoption cases that account for engineering capability operational cost and long-term platform sustainability. Automation & Deployment
• Implement and maintain infrastructure-as-code (IaC) frameworks using Terraform Ansible Bicep ARM templates or equivalent making infrastructure provisioning repeatable auditable and developer-friendly.

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for cloud infrastructure and application deployments; ensure changes are tested validated and deployed
