The Challenge (Responsibilities)

Refine, harden, and extend the existing IaC framework using Terraform and Terragrunt, improving consistency, maintainability, and quality across environments.

Expand and standardize the existing Terraform module library, authoring additional modules to broaden Azure coverage, with secure defaults, consistent naming/tagging, and embedded policy guardrails.

Establish and enforce IaC quality standards using TFLint and policy-as-code, including linting, validation, automated testing, and pre-merge checks.

Build the AI-assisted self-service platform: stand up and maintain an IaC MCP server and author the agent skills/context that encode standards, so developers can use Claude Code or GitHub Copilot to query approved modules and generate compliant infrastructure.

Automate change management by integrating IaC deployment pipelines with ServiceNow (change requests, approvals, CMDB updates) to keep delivery fast while staying audit-ready.

Design and implement self-service workflows, scaffolding, and golden paths through Port.io and other developer-portal/automation tooling.

Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps pipelines for infrastructure delivery.

Write and maintain supporting automation in PowerShell, Python, and Bash.

Manage identity, access, and authentication patterns through Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), including RBAC and least-privilege design for the platform.

Partner with development teams to remove provisioning bottlenecks, gather feedback on the self-service experience, and continuously improve it.

Help grow and mentor the platform team as it scales, championing platform-engineering and self-service principles across the organization.

Ensure infrastructure and automation are secure, reliable, and compliant with organizational policies and best practices.

Your Profile (Requirements)

Mastery-level Terraform and Terragrunt for Infrastructure-as-Code, including authoring reusable modules and managing infrastructure at scale.

Hands-on experience with TFLint and IaC quality tooling—linting, validation, automated testing, and enforcing standards across a codebase.

Deep Azure expertise across IaaS and PaaS services and the surrounding ecosystem.

Proven track record designing standardized, reusable module libraries and opinionated IaC patterns that other teams build on.

Strong scripting and automation skills in PowerShell, Python, and Bash.

Solid experience with CI/CD and GitOps workflows for infrastructure delivery.

Working knowledge of identity, access, and authentication using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and RBAC.

A genuine platform-engineering mindset—you care about developer experience and building safe, easy self-service for others.

Ability to design secure, scalable, and resilient automation solutions.

High-Performance Mindset: Resilience, emotional intelligence, and a focus on agile delivery.

Technologist DNA: A deep understanding of the difference between "coding" and "engineering."

Desired

Experience building or integrating MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, or otherwise exposing tools and data to AI coding assistants.

Familiarity with Claude Code and/or GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted development workflows, including configuring agent skills, context, or guardrails.

Hands-on experience with Port.io or another Internal Developer Portal (e.g., Backstage).

Experience automating change management with ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms.

Policy-as-code experience (e.g., OPA/Conftest, Sentinel, Azure Policy) and IaC security scanning (Checkov, tfsec/Trivy).

Infrastructure testing experience (e.g., Terratest, native Terraform tests).

Familiarity with Kubernetes / AKS and container orchestration.

Experience with configuration management and orchestration tooling (e.g., Ansible).

Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and incident-response practices.

HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (or Terraform Authoring & Operations Professional).

Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert.

Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert.

Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).

Familiarity with cloud-native foundations or AI coding assistants.
