Do you want to shape the Azure platform that all our product teams rely on?

As Tech Lead for our Platform Engineering team, youll drive the technical foundations of our Azure cloud by owning Infrastructure as Code and DevOps enablement at scale. Your mission is to turn cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and guardrails into reusable, automated platform capabilities that help product and solution teams deliver faster, safer, and more consistently.

This is a hands on technical leadership role focused on building the paved road : standardized IaC, robust pipelines, and platform services that reduce complexity and enable teamsnot a ticket driven operations role. Youll work closely with architects, operations, and development teams to evolve our Azure platform as a product, with reliability, security, and developer experience built in by design.

Responsibilities :

- Technical Leadership

- Understand the E2E high level architecture (big picture).

- Translate the HLD (high level design) into the LLD (low level design) in collaboration with architects and own the LLD.

- Technical direction for the product area.

- Contribute to coordinating cross team dependencies and integration points.

Delivery & Execution Excellence :

- Contribute to the feature definition and review.

- Generate concepts and facilitate concept selection.

- Breaking down complex features into actionable tasks.

- Helping with estimation and sprint planning.

- Addressing technical impediments.

- Own production readiness (incl. non-functional requirements).

Quality, Governance & Security :

- Ensuring code quality.

- Conducting meaningful code reviews and ensuring adherence to DoR (Definition of Ready) / DoD (Definition of Done) criteria.

- Ensure adherence to applicable standards, policies, and practices (e.g. DevSecOps).

Incident Response :

- Leading incident response, root cause analysis (RCA), and post-mortems

Mentorship & Team Growth :

- Mentoring team members.

- Documenting key design decisions.

- Participate in interviews and hiring decisions.

- Promoting engineering best practices and driving continuous improvement.

Collaboration & Communication :

- Act as the primary technical point of contact across Product, Architecture, and Platform teams.

- Clearly communicate technical decisions and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.

Qualifications :

- Bachelors degree in computer science, IT, or related field.

- 10+ years in cloud / DevOps / platform engineering, with at least 5+ years owning IaC and CI/CD foundations for multiple teams (or equivalent demonstrated ownership/impact).

- Strong hands-on Azure platform engineering background, with proven ability to design and evolve shared platform capabilities that enable multiple dev/product teams.

- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) lifecycle expertise : able to design, review, and maintain IaC repositories and patterns as a productized capability for others (not one-off scripts).

- Containerization : Experience designing, deploying, and operating containerized applications using Azure Kubernetes Services, Container Apps, Container Instances.

- CI/CD leadership : demonstrated experience designing and maintaining pipelines (validation, approvals, promotion) and embedding them into the development lifecycle.

- Experience with security automation in the DevSecOps lifecycle (e.g., vulnerability scanning / secrets-related automation) as part of the platform pipeline/toolchain.

- Azure DevOps & Git workflows : strong practical experience with branching, pull requests, and pipeline-based validation/approval gates (e.g., plan/validate then approval then apply).

- Ability to drive developer enablement : build reusable templates/tooling and improve developer experience through automation and standardization.

- Solid understanding of governance and compliance-by-design for cloud foundations (standards, policies, tagging/naming conventions as guardrails).

- Understanding of compliance and security frameworks and standards, e.g. SOX, ISO 27001.

- Working knowledge of Agile development practices.

- Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a team.

- Fluency in English (spoken and written).

- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

- Ability to adjust quickly to changing assignments, and priorities.

Assets :

- Experience using AI assisted coding tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot) responsibly, with full accountability for code quality, security, and compliance.

- Practical exposure to monitoring/observability enablement (platform-level logging/metrics/tracing patterns and tooling integration).

- Understanding of cloud core (hub) services and platform services that are consumed by product teams (i.e., thinking in reusable building blocks).

- Familiarity with cost optimization / FinOps mechanics as they relate to platform foundations and guardrails.
