About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Cloud Architect who thrives at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, DevOps engineering, and developer experience. This is a hands-on IC role with broad influence - you'll own the evolution of our deployment pipelines, drive automation across roughly 100 single-tenant customer environments, and partner directly with engineering teams to make shipping software faster, safer, and more repeatable.

This isn't a purely advisory role. You'll be expected to write Terraform, contribute to CI/CD pipelines, and where it makes sense, submit PRs to application code to enable better automation. You'll work across three distinct deployment targets: a single-tenant Java application running on Linux, and two multi-tenant SaaS applications (Python and .NET), each with their own pipeline and operational needs.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in cloud architecture, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering
• Deep hands-on experience with Azure (Azure DevOps, Azure Pipelines, AKS, App Services, or equivalent)
• Strong Infrastructure as Code skills
• Experience managing fleet-scale deployments - automating operations across many environments, not just a handful
• Proficiency in scripting and automation (Bash, Python, or PowerShell) and comfort contributing to application codebases (Java, Python, or .NET)
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipeline design - parallelization, test optimization, artifact management, environment promotion strategies
• Experience with Linux server administration and deploying Java-based applications
• A track record of working cross-functionally - influencing engineering teams through collaboration, documentation, and leading by example rather than by mandate
• Comfortable leveraging AI tools to accelerate productivity without sacrificing code quality or operational rigor

Nice To Haves

• Azure architect certifications in the AZ-30X track
• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and migrating workloads toward container-based deployments
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL or SQL Server in cloud-hosted environments
• Experience with Kafka or other event-driven infrastructure
• Background supporting both single-tenant and multi-tenant SaaS architectures simultaneously

Responsibilities

• Eliminate manual deployment steps - audit current deployment processes across all three product lines and systematically replace manual steps with automated, repeatable pipelines
• Accelerate developer feedback loops - optimize test execution in CI pipelines to reduce time-to-feedback; identify flaky, redundant, or poorly sequenced tests and work with teams to fix them
• Expand and mature our IaC footprint - build on an existing Terraform foundation to bring more of our Azure infrastructure under code, with a focus on consistency across ~100 customer environments
• Fleet automation for single-tenant environments - design and implement tooling to manage, provision, update, and monitor a large number of per-customer deployments at scale
• Establish pipeline standards - define and evangelize CI/CD best practices across Azure DevOps pipelines for dev, QA, and production environments
• Collaborate with engineering teams - work embedded with product engineers, contributing scripts and application-level PRs that remove deployment friction and make services more automation-friendly
• Drive observability and reliability - improve deployment monitoring, rollback capabilities, and environment consistency across the fleet

Benefits

• Work on software that leverages AI and ML to solve real logistics challenges for customers
• Direct impact on developer experience across the entire engineering org
• Collaborative, low-bureaucracy environment where engineers own their work end-to-end
• Competitive compensation and benefits
