  • Implement and improve observability across logs, metrics, traces, and monitoring platforms.
  • Define and maintain reliability standards, including SLOs, error budgets, incident response processes, and operational best practices.
  • Establish secure-by-default environments, infrastructure, and deployment patterns.
  • Drive automation initiatives to eliminate manual operational tasks and improve platform efficiency.
  • Optimize cloud performance, scalability, and cost through continuous monitoring and analysis.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, security, data, and platform teams to ensure reliable and secure service delivery.
  • Support incident management, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Technology Environment You will work with technologies and practices including:

  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi, Flux, and policy-driven automation)
  • Cloud platforms, with a strong preference for Microsoft Azure
  • Multi-stage CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
  • Observability and monitoring solutions
  • Distributed systems supporting data, analytics, streaming, and AI workloads
  • Security technologies including secrets management, image signing, and zero-trust principles
  • Autoscaling, performance optimization, and FinOps practices
Required Qualifications
  • Experience in Cloud Operations, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or a related field.
  • Fluent English communication skills (written and spoken).
  • Strong experience with cloud-native environments, preferably Microsoft Azure.
  • Proven experience building and operating large-scale automated infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
  • Deep understanding of observability, monitoring, logging, telemetry, and reliability engineering principles.
  • Experience troubleshooting and supporting distributed systems in production environments.
  • Strong automation mindset with expertise in scripting and infrastructure management.
  • Knowledge of security best practices for cloud environments and CI/CD ecosystems.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-moving environment and manage multiple priorities effectively.
  • Excellent problem-solving and stakeholder communication skills.
