Responsibilities:

Design, build, and maintain the internal platform and self-service tooling that engineering and IT teams use to deploy and run applications across on-prem and Azure.
Manage and automate provisioning of Windows Server and Linux hosts in both on-prem (Hyper-V) and Azure IaaS/PaaS environments.
Build and operate Kubernetes clusters (AKS in Azure, and/or on-prem distributions) including networking, storage, ingress, and workload onboarding.
Own infrastructure-as-code: author and maintain reusable modules and templates so environments are reproducible and version-controlled.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, golden paths, and deployment automation that let teams ship safely without manual handoffs.
Implement observability across the estate: monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards for both infrastructure and application health.
Harden the platform to meet security and compliance requirements, and produce the evidence/automation needed to sustain audits.
Document platform capabilities, runbooks, and standards, and support internal teams adopting them.
Participate in on-call / incident response and drive post-incident improvements.

Required Skills:

Strong Azure experience across IaaS and PaaS: compute, networking (VNets, NSGs, load balancing), storage, and governance (subscriptions, RBAC, policy).
Solid Windows Server administration (Active Directory, Group Policy, PowerShell) in a production environment.
Solid Linux administration (common distros, systemd, shell, package management, troubleshooting).
Hyper-V virtualization: provisioning, management, and troubleshooting in production.
Kubernetes in production: cluster operations, Helm, ingress, secrets, and workload troubleshooting (AKS a plus).
Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform
CI/CD pipeline design (Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions).
Strong scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python).
Entra ID (Azure AD) and hybrid identity concepts.
Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, routing, firewalls, hybrid connectivity.

What Will Make You Stand Out:

Experience using Claude Code (or similar AI coding agents) to automate infrastructure, scripting, and platform tasks.
Configuration management (Ansible, DSC).
Container registry, image scanning, and supply-chain security tooling.
GitOps (Argo CD, Flux).
GitHub (repos, Actions, and pull-request workflows) as the primary version-control platform.
