Senior Cloud Analyst

Job Overview

This is a cloud-focused position responsible for designing, automating, and operating modern Azure-based platforms and services. The role emphasizes hands‑on cloud architecture, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Bicep, CI/CD automation in Git Hub, and secure, zero‑downtime deployments across Azure PaaS and containerized environments. The ideal candidate will work with technologies including Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Apps (ACA), App Service Environments, Azure Front Door, and Azure SQL/Cosmos DB, driving automation, observability, and governance across all stages of deployment.

The Analyst will also leverage AI‑driven automation and intelligent scripting to streamline operational workflows, optimize performance, and improve deployment efficiency. This position is suited for someone who is passionate about Dev Ops, cloud automation, and AI integration, bringing deep experience in Azure infrastructure, CI/CD, and security‑first design to enable one‑click deployments, continuous improvement, and scalable, intelligent cloud operations.

• Architect, deploy, and operate end‑to‑end Azure cloud solutions leveraging services such as App Service Environments, Function Apps, App Services, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Apps (ACA), Azure Front Door, Application Gateway, API Management, and Key Vault, ensuring secure, scalable, and resilient designs.
• Lead hands‑on deployment and configuration of core Azure data and application services, including Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Azure Storage, and Application Insights, with automated provisioning for high availability.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Bicep, seamlessly integrated into Git Hub Actions pipelines, to ensure consistent, auditable, and repeatable provisioning of infrastructure across all environments.
• Design and manage Docker and Kubernetes‑based workloads, building containerized microservices, managing deployment manifests, Helm charts, and ingress configurations for AKS and ACA.
• Build and maintain fully automated CI/CD pipelines using Git Hub Actions to support blue‑green and canary deployments, automated testing, rollback strategies, and environment promotion workflows.
• Drive Azure Dev Ops to Git Hub migration initiatives, modernizing CI/CD pipelines, defining reusable workflow templates, and aligning all deployment automation with enterprise governance and security standards.
• Architect and enforce zero‑trust and zero‑downtime deployment strategies, integrating private endpoints, managed identities, and advanced networking configurations for secure and continuous availability.
• Collaborate closely with developers, architects, security engineers, network, Infra and vendors to ensure that all solutions are cloud‑optimized, compliant, and aligned with Dev Sec Ops  best practices.
• Guide development teams on designing and deploying Azure‑native, containerized applications, ensuring adherence to architectural principles, performance tuning, and cost efficiency.
• Implement and manage observability and health monitoring using Dynatrace, Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics, enabling proactive detection, diagnostics, and performance optimization.
• Integrate Wiz into CI/CD pipelines for code‑to‑cloud security posture management, vulnerability detection, and compliance validation during build and runtime.
• Optimize cloud resources through performance tuning, auto‑scaling, reserved capacity, and policy‑driven cost governance, ensuring efficient utilization and budget alignment.
• Maintain detailed architecture documentation, Bicep templates, runbooks, and operational guides to enable repeatability, transparency, and business continuity.
• Lead cloud modernization and automation initiatives, driving Dev Ops maturity through standardized pipelines, IaC, security automation, and environment governance.
• Act as a hands‑on Cloud and Dev Ops, ensuring every deployment, configuration, and workflow follows best practices for security, reliability, and scalability across Azure platforms.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, or related…
