We are currently searching for a Cloud Infra Automation Engineer:

The Challenge (Responsibilities)

• Refine, harden, and extend the existing IaC framework using Terraform and Terragrunt, improving consistency, maintainability, and quality across environments.
• Expand and standardize the existing Terraform module library, authoring additional modules to broaden Azure coverage, with secure defaults, consistent naming/tagging, and embedded policy guardrails.
• Establish and enforce IaC quality standards using TFLint and policy-as-code, including linting, validation, automated testing, and pre-merge checks.
• Build the AI-assisted self-service platform: stand up and maintain an IaC MCP server and author the agent skills/context that encode standards, so developers can use Claude Code or GitHub Copilot to query approved modules and generate compliant infrastructure.
• Automate change management by integrating IaC deployment pipelines with ServiceNow (change requests, approvals, CMDB updates) to keep delivery fast while staying audit-ready.
• Design and implement self-service workflows, scaffolding, and golden paths through Port.io and other developer-portal/automation tooling.
• Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps pipelines for infrastructure delivery.
• Write and maintain supporting automation in PowerShell, Python, and Bash.
• Manage identity, access, and authentication patterns through Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), including RBAC and least-privilege design for the platform.
• Partner with development teams to remove provisioning bottlenecks, gather feedback on the self-service experience, and continuously improve it.
• Help grow and mentor the platform team as it scales, championing platform-engineering and self-service principles across the organization.
• Ensure infrastructure and automation are secure, reliable, and compliant with organizational policies and best practices.

Your Profile (Requirements)

• Mastery-level Terraform and Terragrunt for Infrastructure-as-Code, including authoring reusable modules and managing infrastructure at scale.
• Hands-on experience with TFLint and IaC quality tooling—linting, validation, automated testing, and enforcing standards across a codebase.
• Deep Azure expertise across IaaS and PaaS services and the surrounding ecosystem.
• Proven track record designing standardized, reusable module libraries and opinionated IaC patterns that other teams build on.
• Strong scripting and automation skills in PowerShell, Python, and Bash.
• Solid experience with CI/CD and GitOps workflows for infrastructure delivery.
• Working knowledge of identity, access, and authentication using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and RBAC.
• A genuine platform-engineering mindset—you care about developer experience and building safe, easy self-service for others.
• Ability to design secure, scalable, and resilient automation solutions.
• High-Performance Mindset: Resilience, emotional intelligence, and a focus on agile delivery.
• Technologist DNA: A deep understanding of the difference between "coding" and "engineering."

Desired

• Experience building or integrating MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, or otherwise exposing tools and data to AI coding assistants.
• Familiarity with Claude Code and/or GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted development workflows, including configuring agent skills, context, or guardrails.
• Hands-on experience with Port.io or another Internal Developer Portal (e.g., Backstage).
• Experience automating change management with ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms.
• Policy-as-code experience (e.g., OPA/Conftest, Sentinel, Azure Policy) and IaC security scanning (Checkov, tfsec/Trivy).
• Infrastructure testing experience (e.g., Terratest, native Terraform tests).
• Familiarity with Kubernetes / AKS and container orchestration.
• Experience with configuration management and orchestration tooling (e.g., Ansible).
• Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and incident-response practices.
• HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (or Terraform Authoring & Operations Professional).
• Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
• Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert.
• Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
• Familiarity with cloud-native foundations or AI coding assistants.
