Bright Vision Technologies is a forward-thinking software development company dedicated to building innovative solutions that help businesses automate and optimize their operations. They are seeking a skilled Azure Cloud Engineer to design, deploy, and operate large-scale, secure, and resilient cloud platforms on Microsoft Azure, owning the end-to-end cloud engineering lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement enterprise-grade Azure cloud architectures spanning compute, networking, storage, identity, and data services, with explicit attention to scalability, security, and total cost of ownership
• Develop, maintain, and continuously improve infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates, treating infrastructure changes with the same rigor as application code through version control and peer review
• Configure and manage Azure landing zones, virtual networks, subnets, route tables, and network security groups to enforce strong segmentation and least-privilege connectivity between workloads
• Implement secure identity, access management, and governance controls using Azure Active Directory, conditional access, role-based access control, and Azure Policy to ensure compliance with internal and regulatory standards
• Architect and operate Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, including node pool design, auto-scaling, network policy, and integration with container registries and service meshes
• Deploy, scale, and tune Azure data and analytics platforms such as Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Synapse Analytics, Data Factory, and Event Hubs to meet specific workload patterns and SLAs
• Build and operate comprehensive CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, enabling fast, automated, and auditable releases of both infrastructure and application code
• Design and implement robust observability practices using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and third-party tooling, with thoughtful dashboards, alerting, and SLO tracking
• Drive Azure cost optimization initiatives, including right-sizing, reserved-instance planning, lifecycle policies, and architectural changes that meaningfully reduce monthly cloud spend
• Implement disaster-recovery and business-continuity strategies, including backup, geo-replication, failover testing, and documented runbooks that have been validated through regular drills
• Strengthen security posture by integrating Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, key vault, and managed identities, and by routinely remediating findings from compliance scans
• Collaborate closely with application teams to architect cloud-native solutions, advising on patterns, anti-patterns, and Azure-native services that best fit each problem domain
• Develop automation scripts and tooling in PowerShell, Bash, and Python to streamline repetitive operational work and reduce time-to-resolution for common incidents
• Mentor junior engineers, lead architecture reviews, and contribute actively to internal communities of practice around Azure and DevOps

Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Five or more years of cloud engineering experience, with at least three years focused on Microsoft Azure in production environments
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure core services, including compute, storage, networking, identity, and platform-as-a-service offerings
• Production-level experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates
• Solid experience designing and operating Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters at scale
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions for CI/CD across infrastructure and applications
• Strong scripting skills in PowerShell, Bash, and Python, with the ability to write maintainable automation code
• Deep understanding of cloud security principles, identity management, and compliance frameworks
• Experience implementing monitoring, alerting, and observability strategies across distributed workloads
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills
• Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert or Azure DevOps Engineer Expert certification
• Experience operating hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments spanning Azure and on-premises infrastructure
• Familiarity with service mesh technologies such as Istio or Linkerd on AKS
• Exposure to FinOps practices and cloud cost-management tooling
• Experience with regulated environments such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or FedRAMP
