About the role
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
* Experience implementing cloud security best practices — IAM, secrets management, network segmentation
* Ability to work autonomously and manage time effectively within a part-time engagement
* Upper-Intermediate or Advanced English — clear written and spoken communication
Nice to Have:
* Experience with Kubernetes or container orchestration in production
* Familiarity with Python scripting for infrastructure automation
* Background in HR Tech, SaaS, or product company environments
* Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid cloud setups
* Knowledge of cloud cost optimization strategies
