about the role
we are seeking a senior cloud infrastructure engineer with deep expertise in azure and a foundational understanding of google cloud platform (gcp). In this role, you will design, implement, and manage a secure, scalable, and high-performance cloud environment, primarily on azure. As the organization gradually adopts gcp, you'll play a key role in ensuring seamless integration and governance.
this role requires a strong execution mindset—you will be responsible for delivering infrastructure solutions, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and ensuring operational excellence. While not a devops or architect role, you'll be expected to take ownership of cloud infrastructure tasks, maintain security and compliance standards, and support database and networking needs.
what you'll do
1. design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure on azure, ensuring high availability, security, and performance
2. configure and manage iaas, paas, and saas resources within azure, optimizing scalability and cost
3. implement role-based access controls (rbac), security policies, and identity management using azure entitlement
4. set up and maintain azure virtual networks (vnets), subnets, firewall rules, and azure load balancers
5. deploy and manage virtual machines (vms), ensuring proper resource allocation, scaling, and backup strategies
6. manage storage solutions, including azure storage accounts, managed disks, and lifecycle policies for data optimization.
networking, security, and compliance
1. configure and maintain secure hybrid connectivity solutions using azure vpn gateway, expressroute, and firewall
2. implement load balancing and traffic management with azure application gateway and traffic manager
3. enforce security best practices for data encryption, network security, and identity management
4. utilize azure security center, azure policy, and microsoft defender for cloud to maintain security compliance
5. ensure compliance with industry regulations (e.g., gdpr, hipaa) and implement disaster recovery (azure backup, azure site recovery).
monitoring and performance optimization
1. leverage azure monitor, log analytics, and application insights for real-time infrastructure monitoring
2. identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimizing compute, networking, and storage resources
3. automate infrastructure health checks and anomaly detection using azure automation and powershell.
collaboration with database & cross-functional team
1. work closely with the database team to support and optimize azure sql, cosmos db, and relational databases
2. assist in managing database resources and ensuring high availability of mysql, postgresql, and nosql databases on azure
3. collaborate with application and security teams to align infrastructure with business needs.
4. support initial setup and management of google cloud platform (gcp) infrastructure
5. implement and manage gcp iam, google vpc, and cloud dns for security and networking
6. configure and manage google cloud storage, filestore, and persistent disks for efficient data storage
7. utilize google cloud monitoring and logging for visibility into gcp environments
8. guide the team in navigating and adopting gcp, ensuring alignment with existing azure-based processes.
what you bring
experience and skill
1. 5+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure engineering, with a strong emphasis on azure
2. expertise in azure iaas, paas, networking, security, and storage solutions
3. proficiency in azure entitlement, rbac, vpn gateway, expressroute, load balancers, and azure policy
4. hands-on experience with azure monitor, log analytics, and automation tools (powershell, terraform, ansible)
5. working knowledge of google cloud platform (gcp), particularly in iam, networking, and storage
6. familiarity with databases (azure sql, cosmos db, mysql, postgresql) and collaboration with db teams
7. strong problem-solving mindset, ability to work independently, and execute cloud solutions efficiently
8. excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of working across multi-functional teams.
nice to have (not required, but a plus)
1. exposure to infrastructure as code (iac) using terraform or arm templates
2. knowledge of ci/cd pipelines (azure devops, git, terraform)
3. familiarity with containerized applications (azure kubernetes service, google kubernetes engine)
4. hands-on experience with backup and disaster recovery strategies on cloud platforms.
