Lead Cloud Platform Engineer, Azure

5+ years operating Microsoft Azure in production for cloud-native applications, including at least one environment with real availability and compliance obligations.

Production AKS or equivalent Kubernetes experience — you have run clusters, not just deployed to them: upgrades, node pool design, ingress and cluster networking, autoscaling, workload identity, and debugging failures under load.

Deep infrastructure-as-code practice with Bicep (or strong ARM/Terraform experience and readiness to work primarily in Bicep). Comfortable with modules, deployment stacks, what-if, and pipeline-driven deployment.

Hands-on Entra ID / Azure AD administration — RBAC, conditional access, PIM, service principals, managed identities.

A demonstrated role in a SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 audit as a technical expert, not solely as an evidence provider.

Azure networking fluency — VNets, subnets, NSGs, private endpoints and Private DNS, hub-spoke topology, Front Door / Application Gateway / WAF, and cross-region connectivity.

Strong troubleshooting in Log Analytics and Application Insights, including writing your own KQL.

Practical knowledge of Azure scaling and resilience — autoscale, availability zones, paired-region strategies, and failover testing you have personally run.

Working proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, C#, or similar) plus PowerShell or Azure CLI for automation.

CI/CD experience with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.

The ability to influence without authority — you can join another team’s design review, understand their constraints, and leave them with a better plan than they arrived with.

Azure Policy and landing zone or Cloud Adoption Framework implementation at enterprise scale

Experience with healthcare or other regulated data beyond HIPAA — PIPEDA, PHIPA, GDPR, or regional sovereignty requirements

GitOps tooling (Flux, Argo CD) and progressive delivery

FinOps or cost-optimization track record with measurable results

Multi-cloud exposure (AWS/GCP) or cloud migration experience

Infrastructure for AI/ML workloads — GPU capacity planning, Azure OpenAI, private model endpoint

Relevant certification (AZ-305, AZ-500, CKA) — useful signal, not a substitute for experience
