Staff Cloud Engineer

• Define and own Hone’s multi-year cloud infrastructure strategy on Microsoft Azure, balancing reliability, security, cost, and engineering velocity
• Lead the architecture and delivery of the most complex infrastructure initiatives—including multi-region resilience, zero-trust networking, and platform-level developer tooling—from design through production
• Architect and provision cloud infrastructure using Pulumi (TypeScript/Python), establishing the patterns, modules, and guardrails that other engineers build on
• Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, setting the standard for automated build, test, deployment, and rollback workflows
• Define and enforce organization-wide infrastructure standards: tagging policies, cost governance, security baselines, environment parity, and capacity planning across all environments
• Drive GitOps maturity across the engineering organization, championing infrastructure-as-code, pull-request-based change management, and full audit trails
• Collaborate directly with Engineering, Product, and Security leadership to translate business requirements into infrastructure roadmaps and investment decisions
• Mentor and technically develop senior and mid-level engineers; conduct architecture reviews and raise the infrastructure engineering bar organization-wide
• Partner with security and compliance teams to design and maintain HIPAA-compliant cloud configurations, including network segmentation, key management, secrets handling, and audit controls
• Own disaster recovery strategy and business continuity planning, including infrastructure runbooks, chaos engineering programs, and failover testing at scale
• Drive operational excellence through observability tooling (Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics) and establish SLO/SLA frameworks for critical services
• Evaluate and champion emerging cloud-native services and tooling, providing executive-level recommendations that shape Hone’s technical strategy
• Contribute to the broader engineering community through tech talks, documentation, code reviews, and cross-team collaboration

• 8+ years of cloud engineering or DevOps experience, with at least 5 years on Microsoft Azure in a production environment
• Demonstrated track record as a staff-level or principal engineer—setting technical direction, leading cross-team initiatives, and influencing architectural decisions beyond your immediate team
• Deep, hands-on production experience with Pulumi (strongly preferred) or equivalent IaC tooling (Terraform, Bicep), with the ability to design reusable module libraries and enforce standards at scale
• Expert-level experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions across large engineering organizations
• Mastery of core Azure services: AKS, App Service, Azure Functions, Storage, Key Vault, Virtual Networks, Azure SQL, Service Bus, and Azure Networking (Hub-Spoke, Private Endpoints, NSG/UDR design)
• Proficiency in multiple scripting and general-purpose languages (Python, TypeScript, PowerShell, Bash) for automation, tooling, and platform engineering
• Advanced understanding of GitOps principles, branching strategies, and infrastructure change management practices at enterprise scale
• Expert-level experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/AKS) including cluster operations, workload identity, autoscaling, and network policy in production
• Deep familiarity with HIPAA compliance requirements and cloud security best practices: zero-trust architecture, identity federation, secrets management, network isolation, and audit logging
• Experience designing and operating SLO/SLA frameworks, capacity planning models, and FinOps programs at scale
• Proven ability to mentor and develop senior engineers, influence without authority, and drive technical alignment across multiple teams
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a track record of producing architecture decision records (ADRs), runbooks, and executive-facing technical briefings
