• Manage Azure cloud infrastructure, including:
• Virtual machines, storage, identity and access management (RBAC)
• Networking components such as firewalls, peering, and cross-subscription connectivity
• Lead standardization with central teams across observability, security controls, platform services, and "golden paths," while keeping delivery running
• Ensure platform reliability, scalability, and long‑term sustainability

• Design, maintain, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines using Azure Dev Ops and related tooling
• Build and evolve automation using scripting and build tools
• Optimize pipeline performance, reliability, and parallel execution to support large‑scale workloads

• Own Docker image creation, lifecycle management, and governance
• Optimize build processes, caching strategies, and container security
• Support containerized execution environments for compute‑heavy workloads and services

• Maintain and evolve Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Operate and improve configuration management systems (e.g. Salt Stack)
• Reduce configuration drift and improve reproducibility across environments

• Own and operate observability…
