We are seeking a highly experienced Senior DevOps Engineer with 8+ years of expertise in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and secure DevOps practices. The ideal candidate will have deep knowledge of Azure and AWS, with a specialization in Kubernetes (AKS/EKS), Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and designing multi-tenant cloud environments for scalable enterprise applications.
This is a high-impact role responsible for leading the transformation from a monolithic architecture to a modern, microservice-based infrastructure while enforcing secure development practices, observability, and cost-effective resource management. Experience working in highly regulated environments (Gov/Enterprise) is a strong plus.
- Lead the migration from a monolithic application to a hybrid microservices architecture using Kubernetes (AKS/EKS) and namespace isolation for multi-tenant workloads.
- Design and implement multi-tenant deployment stamps using best practices from Azure and AWS architecture frameworks.
- Implement Infrastructure as Code using Bicep, Terraform, CloudFormation, and manage SQL Server schema changes via DACPAC projects.
- Build reusable, secure, and scalable CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, integrating unit tests, automated functional tests, and security scanning (SAST, DAST, dependency scans).
- Orchestrate migration of backend services and Azure Functions to containerized AKS jobs, and frontends to Blob Storage/CDNs via Azure Front Door or S3 + CloudFront.
- Establish and manage observability tooling using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, AWS CloudWatch, and distributed tracing for full-stack performance visibility.
- Enforce secure development lifecycle (SDL) practices, including secret management, PR policies, branching workflows, and vulnerability patch pipelines.
- Implement caching, event-driven patterns, rate-limiting, and WAF rules to harden application performance and security.
- Drive infrastructure cost optimizations by consolidating cloud services and continuously reviewing for unused or duplicate services.
- 8+ years of DevOps or Platform Engineering experience in cloud-native environments.
- Strong hands-on experience with Azure (AKS, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Bicep, App Insights) and AWS (EKS, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, CloudFormation).
- Proven track record of implementing multi-tenant architectures, using namespace isolation and deployment stamps.
- Proficient in Kubernetes orchestration, autoscaling with KEDA, and container lifecycle management.
- Deep understanding of Infrastructure as Code principles with tools like Terraform, Bicep, and CloudFormation.
- Advanced knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, GitHub Advanced Security, and secure pipeline practices.
- Familiarity with architecture documentation standards (C4 Model, Arc42) and maintaining ADRs.
- Solid grasp of secure development practices, cloud security, and SDL policy enforcement.
- Experience transitioning from mono-repo to multi-repo codebases and managing infrastructure separation accordingly.
- Familiarity with Azure AI Services, OpenAI, or Claude for unified cloud-based AI operations.
- Expertise in event-driven designs and migrating from polling-based systems using Azure Event Grid or AWS EventBridge.
- Understanding of shared vs. isolated database models in multi-service systems, including hybrid patterns.
- Background working with compliance-heavy environments (e.g., government or enterprise-grade security).
