About The Position

The Senior Software Engineer will contribute to the design and implementation of cloud solutions that are secure, scalable, resilient, monitored, auditable, and cost-optimized. This role involves designing and developing solutions for Azure migrations and transformation tools, migrating existing platforms and applications to Azure, and automating cloud-based infrastructure deployments and maintenance. The engineer will build, manage, and maintain tools for deployment, monitoring, and operations, while evaluating and recommending tools, technologies, and processes to achieve high quality and performance. A key focus will be on the scalability, security, and availability of all infrastructure and processes, identifying and addressing infrastructure deficiencies, availability gaps, and performance bottlenecks. This position serves as an escalation point for T2-T3 cloud infrastructure support and helps determine the technical feasibility of solutions for business requirements. Collaboration with peer organizations, product delivery teams, and support organizations on technical issues and guidance is essential. The role requires utilizing core cloud technologies, with applied experience in Azure core cloud technologies in a high-traffic production setting and in application migrations to cloud using native patterns. Proficiency in core Azure cloud technologies including Azure DevOps, VMSS, Vnet, Azure Load balancer, Azure Application gateway, Azure Private Link, Cosmos DB, Azure Monitor/Application Insights, AKS, Azure Cache, Event Hub, and Azure Functions is expected. Building cloud automation/orchestration solutions with technologies like Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Chef, and/or Puppet, and designing/implementing highly available cloud/HybridCloud network solutions are also key responsibilities. Experience with CI/CD technologies including GitHub, Maven, Jenkins, and Nexus, along with an applied understanding of cloud security and preventative/retrospective controls, is required. This includes creating security roles (RBAC), group policy, authorization, and auditing. Experience with performance tuning in a cloud environment and architecting, implementing, and managing monitoring solutions for production cloud environments is necessary. Applied experience with open-source cloud-agnostic technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, Mulesoft, Redis, NGINX, Kafka, Ansible, and Terraform is also required, leveraging real-time and synthetic monitoring solutions like Dynatrace APM monitoring, EFK/ELK/Splunk Log Analytics, Prometheus, and Catchpoint synthetic monitoring. The role also involves leading technical demo sessions to peers and leadership.
