Must have a minimum of 6 years of hands-on experience working with Azure cloud services (AKS, PaaS/SaaS offerings), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible etc), and event-driven architectures (Pub/Sub) in production environments.

Strong skills in Python, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, architectural design

Experience in Linux system administration, network management, monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana etc.

Strong hands-on experience designing and operating solutions on Microsoft Azure, leveraging both SaaS and PaaS services.

Experience working with Azure PaaS services such as PostgreSQL Flexible Server, Cosmos DB, Azure Cache for Redis, and Azure Storage.

Strong hands-on experience with Azure services including AKS, Virtual Networks, Private Endpoints, PostgreSQL, CosmosDB, and Redis.

Deep understanding of Kubernetes across both AKS and on-prem Kubernetes environments.

Solid experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.

Hands-on experience with container build processes and managing container registries such as Azure Container Registry (ACR).

Experience integrating security practices into CI/CD pipelines, including SAST and DAST tools.

Experience implementing Policy-as-Code using tools such as OPA or Azure Policy to enforce governance and compliance.

Hands-on experience with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics for cloud-based monitoring.

Logn term responsibility of this role would be to manage day-to-day SaaS operations of the platforms/products, ensuring high-availability, security and performance of the infrastructure.

Short term responsibility would be to closely work with the platform engineering/development team in implementing the enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines for cloud-native SaaS products from the ground up, manage/automate infrastructure-as-code, for cloud-native technologies.

Implement robust continuous integration practices, including code quality gates, static and dynamic security analysis, and container image scanning.

Design and implement a fully integrated DevSecOps toolchain aligned with security-first principles.

Integrate source control systems (GitHub or Azure DevOps) with build pipelines, artifact repositories (ACR), container scanning tools, and Infrastructure-as-Code workflows.

Implement secure secrets management using Azure Key Vault in cloud environments and HashiCorp Vault for on-prem deployments.

Enforce policy-as-code practices and implement compliance guardrails across environments.

Enable Kubernetes-based deployments across OpenShift, Rancher, or upstream Kubernetes environments.

Automate provisioning and configuration of core platform components including:

AKS clusters

Azure Front Door and Application Gateway

PostgreSQL Flexible Servers (per-tenant model)

Cosmos DB

Private Endpoints and VNet architecture

Support Hub-Spoke networking models and hybrid connectivity patterns.

Enable vulnerability scanning and remediation workflows across code, containers, and infrastructure.

Automate security posture management and compliance checks. Enforce RBAC and least-privilege access models across cloud and on-prem environments.
