Cloud engineer

Job Description:

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain PowerShell automation scripts to support Azure infrastructure operations.
  • Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize existing automation scripts for performance and reliability.
  • Ensure scripts follow best practices for security, compliance, version control, and documentation.
  • Collaborate with cloud architects and operations teams to further optimize the automation routine or develop new ones
  • Integrate automation with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).

Core Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Scripting & Automation: Advanced proficiency in PowerShell (functions, modules, error handling, logging, remoting, parallelization, DSC/Desired State Configuration).
  • Cloud: Strong hands-on with Microsoft Azure (ARM/Bicep or Terraform basics), Azure Resource Manager, Azure CLI/Azure PowerShell modules.
  • CI/CD: Practical experience integrating automation with GitHub Actions (workflows, runners, secrets, environments, reusable workflows).
  • Version Control: Proficient with Git (branching strategies, PRs, code reviews, tagging, semantic versioning).
  • Security & Compliance: Familiarity with least privilege, secret management (Key Vault), secure credential handling, script signing, audit logging, and compliance documentation.

Experience

  • Total: 58+ years in infrastructure engineering, SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering roles.
  • PowerShell: 35+ years designing and maintaining production-grade PowerShell automation (modular, testable code; reusable functions; private/internal repositories; PSModules management).
  • Azure Operations: 3+ years supporting Azure infrastructure operations (VMs, VNets, Storage, Key Vault, App Services, Azure Monitor/Log Analytics, Policy).
  • Automation at Scale: Experience building idempotent scripts and jobs for provisioning, configuration, patching, and incident remediation.
  • Troubleshooting: Demonstrated ability to debug and optimize scripts (profiling, reducing API calls, throttling/backoff, improving reliability/observability).
  • Pipelines: Built or extended CI/CD pipelines for automation (linting, unit tests with Pester, artifact versioning, release gates, environment promotions).
  • Collaboration: Worked closely with cloud architects and operations to translate runbooks and manual procedures into resilient automation.

Key Competencies

Technical (Must-Haves)

  • PowerShell Engineering
  • Advanced PowerShell syntax, modules, classes, and error handling (try/catch/finally, $ErrorActionPreference).
  • Pester for unit/integration testing.
  • Logging frameworks and structured output (JSON), writing to Azure Monitor/Log Analytics.
  • Secure coding in PowerShell: SecureString, secret retrieval from Key Vault, certificate-based auth, MSI/Workload identity.
  • Azure Automation Patterns
  • Azure PowerShell & Azure CLI for resource lifecycle management.
  • Automation via GitHub Actions: secrets, OIDC/Workload Identity Federation, matrix builds, conditional steps, reusable workflows.
