Cloud/DevOps Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Cloud & DevOps Engineer to join a global technical initiative focused on migrating and hosting mission-critical Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) on modern Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure. In this role, you will lead the infrastructure deployment, container orchestration, and continuous delivery pipelines for a core enterprise Java application provided by a major third-party software vendor. Your primary impact will be driving platform automation, system reliability, and observability rather than writing business application code.

Daily tasks

• Cloud Infrastructure & IaC: Provision, manage, and scale enterprise Azure cloud environments using Terraform or Pulumi, ensuring full alignment with strict security and compliance baselines.
• Kubernetes Orchestration: Deploy and manage application workloads on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) utilizing Helm charts for seamless configuration management and release rollouts.
• CI/CD Automation: Design, optimize, and maintain automated deployment pipelines using tools such as Jenkins and ArgoCD to support continuous delivery across global sites.
• Observability & Monitoring: Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and telemetry dashboards using Prometheus and Grafana to ensure high availability and operational visibility.
• System Integration & Tooling: Build and maintain infrastructure automation services (leveraging languages like Go, Python, or Bash), messaging workflows (RabbitMQ), and configuration management tools (Chef / Ansible).
• Migration & Escalation Support: Collaborate with cross-functional global teams during system migrations, upgrades, and real-time infrastructure troubleshooting.
