- Work with release management teams to assess deployment readiness and support go/no-go decisions.

- Develop reusable Terraform infrastructure as code modules and automate standardized setting provisioning.

- Identify and remediate infrastructure configuration drift, and manage the decommissioning of legacy environments.

- Strengthen cloud security, identity, and access management through secrets and key management, access request handling, and cloud resource hardening.

- Lead root‑cause analysis of platform incidents and coordinate remediation to improve system stability and prevent recurrence.

- Maintain operational runbooks, support knowledge transfer, and establish effective processes for managing unplanned work and incoming requests.

- Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance to support platform modernization, automation, and operational excellence.

Requirements:

- Proven experience building and configuring Azure environments from the ground up using Terraform.

- Strong knowledge of Terraform modules, state management, infrastructure lifecycle management, and CI/CD-driven infrastructure deployments.

- Practical experience with Docker and Kubernetes in containerized application environments.

- Familiarity with monitoring and observability solutions such as Grafana and Azure Application Insights.

- Demonstrated experience migrating manually provisioned infrastructure to infrastructure as code without causing production outages.

- Previous experience working as a technical lead, DevOps architect, or in a comparable senior engineering leadership position.

- Robust understanding of cloud security, access controls, secrets management, deployment governance, and operational best practices.

- Ability to lead technical initiatives while remaining comfortable with hands‑on implementation and troubleshooting.

- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex platform issues and drive sustainable solutions.

- Effective communication and collaboration skills, particularly when working with technology leadership, engineering teams, and release management stakeholders.

Benefits:

- Annual salary: CAD 150,000–165,000. Individual offers depend on experience, qualifications, education, training, skills, role requirements, and local market considerations.
