Job Description
Cloud Operations Engineer – Remote / Telecommute
Job Description:
Design, IaC and Automation:
Maintain and improve Terraform based templates for consistent, repeatable infrastructure deployments.
Leverage best practices for version control (Git branching strategies) and code reviews to minimize drift between dev, test, and prod environments.
Patch and Pipeline Management:
Develop and maintain patch scripts and pipelines (Azure Update Manager or similar) to automate OS or platform patching.
Coordinate with L2/L3 for safe rollouts of patches and to minimize downtime.
Certificate and Secrets Management:
Create, rotate, and securely store certificates, secrets, and SSH keys using Azure Key Vault or appropriate vaulting solutions.
Ensure compliance with organizational policies on encryption and key rotation intervals.
CI/CD Enhancements.
Continuously improve CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, etc) for new or updated Azure resources.
Embed security scanning, linting, and compliance checks at various stages of the pipeline.
Environment Consistency and Governance:
Implement tooling to maintain consistent dev/test/prod environments, ensuring the IaC definitions match reality (no “drift”).
Work with L3 to enforce governance policies (Azure Policy, RBAC, tagging standards) in all deployed environments.
Security and Compliance in DevOps.
Integrate security scanning tools into pipelines for early detection of vulnerabilities.
Work closely with security teams to address compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA, HITRUST, or internal corporate standards).
Skill Set:
Strong background in Terraform, version control (Git), and pipeline tooling (Azure DevOps, GitHub).
Familiar with modern DevOps practices (GitOps, continuous testing).
Comfortable working closely with development teams, L3, and security teams to implement infrastructure changes effectively and securely.
Typically, a smaller team of Cloud Engineers can support multiple projects if they have well defined pipelines and documentation.
