We are looking for a Cloud Ops Developer to design, implement, and manage our Azure cloud infrastructure that supports our financial applications and AI-driven services. The ideal candidate is a hands‑on Azure practitioner who can advise on right‑sized infrastructure for varied enterprise workloads, build and operate cost‑efficient IaaS and CI/CD solutions, and leverage modern AI tools to elevate the quality and speed of their own delivery.

This role involves working in a hybrid team structure, collaborating with in‑house developers, consultants, external vendors, and AI tool outputs while ensuring cloud infrastructure quality and providing technical guidance on Azure cloud architecture and operations.

• Design and implement cloud infrastructure solutions on Azure, selecting and right-sizing services to meet diverse enterprise workload requirements — including App Services, Azure Functions, AKS, SQL/Cosmos
  
  DB, networking, and storage — using Infrastructure as Code (ARM, Bicep, or Terraform)
• Advise stakeholders on appropriate Azure architecture patterns for different business and technical needs, balancing performance, security, scalability, and cost
• Build and maintain robust, cost‑efficient CI/CD pipelines in Azure Dev Ops (and Git Hub Actions where applicable), including release management, automated validation, and infrastructure compliance checks
• Drive cloud cost optimization as a core practice — analyzing utilization, right‑sizing resources, implementing auto‑scaling, applying reservations and savings plans, and establishing Fin Ops discipline across environments
• Establish and maintain comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics, with dashboards and proactive alerts for system health and cost anomalies
• Ensure security and compliance across cloud resources by implementing Defender for Cloud recommendations, configuring identity and access management, network security, and meeting financial industry regulatory requirements
• Support deployment and operation of AI infrastructure components (e.g., Azure OpenAI Service, AI Foundry, vector database hosting, GPU compute) in collaboration with the AI Engineering team
• Leverage AI development tools (Cursor, Claude, Claude Code, Git Hub Copilot) to accelerate IaC authoring, troubleshooting, documentation, and code review — bringing measurable efficiency and quality to your own output
• Conduct thorough reviews of cloud infrastructure configurations produced by consultants, external vendors, and automated tools, and validate AI-generated infrastructure code for quality, security, and business alignment
• Establish and enforce cloud architecture standards, documentation requirements, and technical best practices
• Other duties as assigned

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in cloud operations or Dev Ops with a strong focus on Azure
• Extensive hands‑on knowledge of Azure services and the judgment to recommend the right service for the right workload
• Strong experience…
