About the Role

To deliver a secure, compliant, automated, resilient, and cost-efficient Azure cloud platform, supported by strong governance, enhanced observability and AIOps capabilities, and clear architecture and engineering leadership.

. Build and maintain secure, enterprise-grade Azure environments that meet regulatory and compliance requirements.
. Drive automation and modernization through Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and modern cloud engineering practices.
. Ensure platform resilience through high availability, reliability, scalability, and disaster recovery capabilities.
. Establish and enforce governance, risk, and compliance controls, including policies, guardrails, tagging standards, and security baselines.
. Enhance operational effectiveness through observability, AIOps, cost optimization, and technical leadership.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Cloud Infrastructure Engineering

• Design, build, and maintain enterprise-grade Azure cloud environments that are secure, scalable, and compliant with regulatory requirements.

• Develop and implement infrastructure automation solutions using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform.

• Ensure high availability, reliability, scalability, and disaster recovery readiness across cloud platforms.

• Lead cloud modernization and platform transformation initiatives.

• Drive cloud cost optimization initiatives and support engineering teams in understanding and managing cloud cost drivers.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

• Operate within enterprise governance frameworks and ensure compliance with applicable industry standards and regulations.

• Enforce cloud governance controls, including resource tagging, cost management, security baselines, and policy compliance.

• Collaborate with risk, audit, and compliance teams to meet internal and external regulatory requirements.

• Define and implement cloud guardrails, Azure Policies, and governance blueprints.

Observability & AIOps Integration

• Collaborate with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and AIOps teams to strengthen end-to-end observability across cloud infrastructure.

• Integrate AIOps capabilities to enable proactive incident detection, root cause analysis, and automated remediation.

• Develop and maintain SLIs, SLOs, dashboards, and alerting mechanisms to ensure optimal platform performance and reliability.

Architecture & Engineering Alignment

• Partner closely with Enterprise Architects to ensure alignment with enterprise architecture standards, principles, and roadmaps.

• Contribute to architecture reviews, solution approvals, and technology selection decisions.

• Translate business and architectural requirements into scalable, secure, and sustainable infrastructure solutions.

Innovation & Leadership

• Demonstrate innovation leadership by driving the adoption of modern cloud practices, automation, and emerging technologies.

• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency through automation, platform engineering, and AIOps capabilities.

• Provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and influence engineering best practices.

• Champion a DevOps culture, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence across teams.

Minimum Job Requirements:

Technical Expertise

• 8-12+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, with a strong focus on cloud technologies (Azure preferred).

• Deep knowledge of Azure services (compute, networking, storage, security, identity), Azure Landing Zones and enterprise-scale architecture, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM).

• Proven experience implementing observability solutions, preferably Dynatrace or similar AIOps platforms.

• Knowledge of Alibaba Cloud (AliCloud) would be an advantage.

Governance & Regulated Environment
