About The Position

We are looking for a motivated Infrastructure Cloud Engineer to take us to the next level! If you have experience managing Azure and AWS services and are looking for your next career move, apply now! We are looking for an Infrastructure Cloud Engineer to own the reliability, performance, and day-to-day operation of the Azure and AWS hosted services that run our internal and client-facing applications. This is a hands-on, cloud-native role. You will spend your time running managed Azure and AWS services well rather than building infrastructure platforms from the ground up. Think pragmatic reliability engineering for a lean, focused IT organization: you keep the systems healthy, make them observable, automate the toil out of them, and get pulled in when something breaks. You will partner closely with application developers, solution architects, and the broader infrastructure team. If you like owning production, care about clean observability, and want to work across a real portfolio of services without the overhead of a giant platform org, this is a good fit. This position will be full-time and remote. This position does not offer employment sponsorship. All candidates must be eligible to work without need for sponsorship by employer.

Requirements

4 or more years in an infrastructure, DevOps, cloud operations, or SRE-adjacent role
Solid hands-on Azure and AWS experience, especially with container-based compute and managed data services
Practical experience running a relational database in production (PostgreSQL preferred) and understanding of caching with Redis
Real experience with observability tooling: you have built dashboards, set up meaningful alerts, and used telemetry to actually find and fix problems
Comfort with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines
Scripting and automation skills, and a bias toward eliminating repetitive manual work
Sound judgment during incidents and a calm, methodical approach to troubleshooting under pressure
Clear written communication and a habit of documenting your work

Nice To Haves

Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-400, or similar)
Exposure to compliance-driven environments (FedRAMP, StateRAMP, SOC 2, or public-sector requirements)
Experience supporting Windows Server
Experience supporting Azure Virtual Desktop
Experience supporting client-facing or externally exposed applications
Familiarity with .NET application hosting and deployment patterns
Prior participation in an on-call rotation

Responsibilities

Operate and maintain our Azure Container Apps (ACA) environments: deployments, scaling rules, revisions, ingress, networking, and secrets management
Own our managed data services in Azure, primarily Azure Database for PostgreSQL (Flexible Server) and Azure Cache for Redis: sizing, configuration, backups, patching, connection management, and performance tuning
Build and maintain observability across the stack: metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting using tools like Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics, and Grafana
Define and track service health signals (availability, latency, error rates) and drive down noise so alerts mean something
Automate provisioning and configuration through infrastructure-as-code (Bicep or Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines
Participate in incident response: triage, mitigate, and lead or contribute to blameless postmortems, then close the loop with real fixes
Manage identity, access, and network configuration for hosted services, including Entra ID integration, private networking, and least-privilege access
Handle cost visibility and optimization for the services you own, right-sizing resources and flagging waste
Write and maintain runbooks and documentation so operational knowledge does not live in one person's head
Collaborate with developers on deployment patterns, readiness for production, and reliability improvements to the applications running on your infrastructure
