DevOps Engineer (Platform | Azure | CI/CD | Kubernetes | Operations & Maintenance)

Role: DevOps Engineer (Platform | Azure | CI/CD | Kubernetes | Operations & Maintenance)

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to take ownership of operating and maintaining an existing cloud platform hosting multiple microservice-based applications running on Kubernetes in Microsoft Azure. This role is focused on platform operations, reliability, incident handling, and deployments across multiple environments.

Responsibilities

• Maintain Terraform-based infrastructure and apply safe changes to existing modules.
• Operate and maintain Microsoft Azure infrastructure across multiple environments (dev / non-prod / prod).
• Operate and support Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including:
• Monitoring cluster health (pods, networking, authentication, storage, DNS)
• Handling incidents and resolving runtime issues
• Support, maintain, and troubleshoot the application lifecycle (Docker images, deployments, Helm charts, etc.) via GitLab CI/CD and Azure DevOps pipelines.
• Maintain ingress configuration, NGINX routing rules, and TLS certificates.
• Manage secrets and application connectivity, including Azure Key Vault integrations.
• Troubleshoot connectivity issues (DNS, networking, authentication, storage access).
• Manage Azure networking components (VNet, Private Endpoints, internal/external exposure).
• Manage access and permissions (Azure AD, RBAC, Managed Identity / Workload Identity).
• Perform controlled platform changes (version upgrades, configuration changes, certificate renewals).
• Write and adjust small automation scripts (Bash).

Required Skills (Must Have)

• Hands-on cloud platform experience (Microsoft Azure preferred).
• Strong working knowledge of Linux.
• Terraform: ability to read, modify, and safely apply existing IaC code.
• Practical Kubernetes operations experience (not only theoretical knowledge).
• Docker container and image management experience.
• CI/CD pipeline experience (GitLab CI/CD as owner preferred; Azure DevOps as admin).
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, TLS, routing, load balancing).
• Strong troubleshooting skills and experience working with production systems.

Nice to Have

• Azure DevOps pipeline implementation experience.
• Basic AWS knowledge.
• Helm.
• NGINX / Ingress Controllers.
• Monitoring/logging tools (Grafana, Azure Log Analytics).
• Python scripting.
