- Drive the adoption of DevOps and automation practices across the organization to accelerate development cycles and improve platform reliability.
- Monitor the health and performance of cloud resources using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and other monitoring tools.
- Perform ongoing tuning and optimization of cloud resources to improve system performance and minimize operational costs.
- Analyze system logs and metrics to troubleshoot, resolve, and prevent issues related to cloud-based applications and services.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for cloud architectures, configurations, automation processes, and troubleshooting procedures.

- 7+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure and platform engineering, with at least 3 years of hands-on experience specifically with Microsoft Azure.
- Deep expertise in Azure services, including Azure Compute, Azure Networking, Azure Storage, Azure Identity, and Azure Security.
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, ARM templates, Azure DevOps).
- Hands-on experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), containerization (e.g., Docker), and container orchestration.
- Expertise in monitoring and log aggregation tools, including Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Azure Security Center, and third-party tools (e.g., Splunk, Prometheus).
- Proficiency in automation and scripting languages such as PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
- Knowledge of DevOps principles and CI/CD pipeline tools such as Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitLab.
