About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our engineering team. This is a part-time, hourly-based engagement (~60 hours per month), fully remote.

You'll take ownership of cloud infrastructure on Azure, working closely with software engineers and architects to design reliable, scalable, and secure cloud-native solutions. The role requires someone who can operate independently, prioritize effectively within a limited time budget, and deliver high-impact infrastructure improvements without hand-holding.

What You'll Do:

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure on Azure

• Develop Python scripts and automation tools to streamline infrastructure management, deployments, and operational workflows

• Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines to support fast and reliable software delivery

• Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent)

• Monitor infrastructure performance, troubleshoot production issues, and ensure system reliability and uptime

• Optimize cloud environments for scalability, cost efficiency, and security

• Implement and enforce cloud security best practices across all environments

• Collaborate closely with software engineers and architects on cloud-native architecture decisions

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of commercial experience as a DevOps or Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure in production environments

• Solid experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or similar)

• Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or equivalent)

• Strong Linux administration skills — comfortable in the terminal and confident in production systems

• Experience with monitoring and logging solutions (Datadog, Grafana, ELK stack, CloudWatch, or similar)

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals — VPC, DNS, load balancing, firewalls, and security groups
