Senior Cloud and Platform Engineer

Role Overview

• Run hands-on technical discovery across assigned domains — typically cost governance, observability, platform deployment, and management tooling — using Azure Resource Graph, Azure Policy compliance, Microsoft Cost Management, Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Entra reporting, Azure Monitor, and Application Insights.
• Review the client’s existing Terraform footprint and common Azure DevOps deployment paths. Identify standardization opportunities, configuration drift risks, and the foundational moves required to mature toward a code-driven, team-owned platform.
• Assess tagging standards and enforcement, automated alerts and reporting, and Reserved Instance and Savings Plan utilization. Propose practical cost-governance improvements that hold up as Azure adoption grows.
• Evaluate the centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting strategy, including SIEM integration patterns, audit log retention posture, and the application telemetry surface exposed through Azure Monitor and Application Insights.
• Draft the sections of the report tied to your streams of work — findings, recommendations, effort indications, and success-criteria tagging — to a quality bar that lets the Principal Consultant integrate them into the broader narrative with minimal rework.
• Produce the tangible artifacts that Callibrity is known for during assessment engagements: working dashboards, reusable IaC modules, governance-as-code samples, or developer-experience prototypes where they accelerate the client’s ability to act on the recommendations.
• Participate in stakeholder interviews and on-site working sessions. Bring engineering credibility to the conversation, not just note-taking.

Requirements

• Eight or more years of full-stack engineering and platform modernization experience, with deep, hands-on specialization in cloud-native operations on Azure.
• A track record of moving client teams from manual, portal-driven Azure operations to code-managed, repeatable platforms. Concrete examples of the patterns you put in place and the adoption you drove.
• Strong working knowledge of Terraform, Azure DevOps pipelines, and common deployment-path patterns. Comfortable opening a client’s IaC repository and forming a defensible point of view on what is working and what is not.
• Practical depth in Azure Policy and governance-as-code, including the trade-offs between guardrails and developer friction.
• Hands-on experience with cost-management automation, tagging enforcement, and reporting in environments where finance and engineering both have a stake in the answer.
• Working command of the observability stack: Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and the integration patterns that connect them to a SIEM.
• Comfort with the developer-experience layer that makes a platform usable — internal portals, golden paths, self-service tooling — and a clear point of view on when those investments pay off.
• Ability to take direction from a senior architect on what to investigate while operating independently on how to investigate it.
• Written communication strong enough to draft report sections that need light editing rather than heavy rewriting.
