About The Position

PrismHR is the HR, payroll, and benefits platform used by employer-services organizations across the United States, backed by Vensure Employer Solutions. Our platform serves clients whose employees get paid on what we ship, which makes reliability engineering here consequential rather than abstract. You will help design, build, and operate secure, scalable, highly available cloud infrastructure on Azure, and just as importantly, you will make it usable by engineering teams through infrastructure as code, CI/CD automation, and container orchestration. Concretely: designing, deploying, and managing Azure infrastructure across AKS, virtual networks, load balancers, storage accounts, Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and IAM, with real attention to cost optimization, capacity planning, and performance. Building and maintaining Terraform modules that provision Azure infrastructure repeatably and under version control, enforcing IaC standards and environment parity across dev, QA, and production, and working with security and architecture to embed compliance into IaC pipelines. You will operate AKS clusters for production and non-production workloads, container deployments, scaling, rolling upgrades, resiliency patterns and troubleshoot cluster, node, pod, and networking problems to keep availability high. You will design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for both infrastructure and application deployment, automate build, test, release, and rollback, and integrate security scans, quality gates, and infrastructure validation into those pipelines. You will implement monitoring, alerting, and logging, participate in incident response and root cause analysis, and drive the post-incident improvements that actually stop the same thing happening twice. You will work closely with Software Engineering, QA, Security, and Architecture as a shared owner of production rather than a downstream service desk.
