Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer (Azure & AWS)

What We're Looking For:

As a Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer at MBI, you will take a hands-on role in designing, building, and maintaining our cloud infrastructure across Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. Reporting directly to the CTO, you will work in close partnership with the VP of Product to ensure cloud platforms align with product delivery timelines and feature roadmaps, with the VP of Infrastructure to maintain operational excellence and reliability standards, and with the CISO to enforce security best practices and regulatory compliance across all environments.

What You'll Do:

You will be responsible for ensuring fast, secure, and reliable software delivery through automation and DevOps best practices. This senior position is a hands-on role, meaning you will actively implement solutions—tackling everything from infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD pipeline creation to incident response and cloud vendor partnership management. Your work will directly support MBI’s strategic technology goals, including Vision 2030 initiatives, digital platform delivery, and enterprise-wide AI/ML infrastructure enablement.

Cloud Infrastructure Management & Automation

• Multi-Cloud Environment Oversight: Design, implement, and manage cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure and AWS, covering compute, storage, networking, and platform services. Ensure these environments are configured for high availability, optimal performance, and resiliency. Coordinate with the VP of Infrastructure on architecture standards, capacity planning, and operational readiness.
• CI/CD Pipeline Implementation: Develop and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines to automate software build, test, and deployment processes. Use tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or AWS CodePipeline to enable frequent and reliable releases. Collaborate with the VP of Product to align deployment cadences with product release schedules and feature rollout priorities.
• Infrastructure as Code & Automation: Employ Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Azure Resource Manager/Bicep templates, AWS CloudFormation) to automate provisioning and configuration of cloud resources. Maintain version-controlled scripts for repeatable environment setups, and automate routine tasks (using PowerShell, Bash, or Python scripting) to improve efficiency and consistency.

Cloud Operations Best Practices (Scalability, Reliability & Cost Optimization)

• Scalability & Reliability: Ensure all cloud architectures follow best practices for scalability and resilience. Implement auto-scaling groups, load balancers, and clustering to handle changes in demand. Design systems with fault tolerance (multi-AZ/multi-region deployments, backups, and disaster recovery plans) so that uptime and performance meet enterprise SLAs. Work with the VP of Infrastructure to validate capacity and resilience through regular system tests.
• Performance Optimization: Continuously monitor and analyze system performance metrics to identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies. Tune applications and infrastructure (right-sizing instances, optimizing database performance, leveraging CDNs/caching) to improve response times and throughput.
• Cost Management: Take ownership of cloud cost optimization. Use financial management tools (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management) to track usage and spending. Identify opportunities to reduce costs—rightsizing resources, eliminating underutilized assets, and leveraging pricing models (reserved instances, savings plans). Implement governance for resource usage and educate teams on cost-aware development.

Security & Compliance

Work directly with the CISO and security team to ensure all cloud environments meet MBI’s security requirements and align with the organization’s cybersecurity framework.

• Identity & Access Management: Implement robust security controls across Azure and AWS. Manage IAM roles, policies, and Azure Active Directory/Entra ID integrations to enforce principle of least privilege. Set up SSO and MFA where needed, and regularly review access logs and permissions.
• Cloud Security Best Practices: Configure network security groups, firewalls, and encryption mechanisms to safeguard data and services. Use Azure Security Center/Defender and AWS Security Hub to continually assess security posture. Ensure data at rest and in transit is encrypted using Azure Key Vault, AWS KMS, and appropriate network controls.
• Compliance & Vulnerability Management: Ensure cloud environments comply with relevant standards and regulations (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMI, CMMC, FedRAMP) and MBI’s internal policies. Conduct regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing coordination.
