Role Purpose:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Platform Engineer to join our multifunctional Cloud Platform Team as a senior individual contributor responsible for executing complex technical delivery and providing healthy challenge to architectural and delivery approaches.

As Senior Platform Engineer, you are the "show me the code" voice - the experienced engineer who validates feasibility through execution, challenges designs with implementation reality, and delivers platform capabilities with excellence. You work alongside Cloud Architects and Technical Leads as a peer contributor, bringing deep hands-on expertise and delivery experience that grounds decision-making in practical reality.

This is a senior IC role, not a leadership position - you lead through expertise, execution quality, and constructive challenge. You own complex technical problems, mentor through pairing, and set the standard for what great delivery looks like.

Role Responsibilities:

Hands-On Technical Delivery

Own and deliver the most complex, risky, or ambiguous technical challenges

Implement infrastructure-as-code (Terraform): networking, security, governance, compute, PaaS - modules, stacks, policies

Build CI/CD pipelines, automation scripts, self-service tooling, and observability infrastructure

Write comprehensive tests (unit, integration, validation) and documentation (runbooks, diagrams, implementation notes)

Troubleshoot complex issues spanning networking, identity, security, and infrastructure layers

Optimize implementations for performance, cost, security, and maintainability - secure-by-design in every delivery

Participate in on-call rotation and lead incident response for critical platform issues

Healthy Challenge & Technical Validation

Challenge architectural designs with implementation reality: "will this actually work?"

Provide constructive pushback on approaches that ignore delivery constraints or compromise quality

Validate technical feasibility during refinement - flag hidden complexity, dependencies, risks

Push back on unrealistic timelines with data and experience - ground planning in delivery reality

Propose alternative approaches based on hands-on experience: "I've tried that and here's what happened"

Question standards and patterns to ensure they serve real needs - challenge both over-engineering and under-engineering

Advocate for technical excellence while remaining pragmatic about business constraints

Collaborative Design & Refinement

Participate in design sessions - contribute implementation insights to architectural discussions

Review ADRs and design patterns for implement-ability - validate designs can be decomposed into stories

Participate in refinement - help decompose features into implementable stories with clear acceptance criteria

Validate story sizing, complexity estimates, and technical feasibility before "Ready" state

Identify technical prerequisites, dependencies, missing context, or unclear requirements

Conduct thorough code reviews: Terraform modules, Azure Policy definitions, pipeline configurations

Provide mentorship through constructive review feedback - balance quality with pragmatic delivery

Knowledge Sharing & Mentorship

Pair program with engineers - transfer knowledge hands-on during story implementation

Demonstrate best practices through doing, not just telling - build confidence through guided problem-solving

Share expertise through workshops, demos, and technical deep-dives

Document complex implementations and troubleshooting approaches - contribute to knowledge base and playbooks

What We’re Looking For:

Essential Knowledge, Skills & Experience:

8+ years hands-on infrastructure engineering in cloud environments

Expert-level Terraform at enterprise scale - 50+ production modules/stacks

Deep Azure experience across networking, security, governance, compute, PaaS services

Proven delivery of complex infrastructure in regulated industries (banking, financial services, healthcare, government)

Agile/Kanban multifunctional team experience with architects, engineers, DevOps, security

Track record of constructive challenge and proposing feasible alternatives

Production troubleshooting experience resolving complex technical issues

Mentorship experience through pairing and hands-on collaboration

Skills:

Terraform: modules, state management, composable stacks, testing, patterns, anti-patterns

Azure: VNets, NSGs, Firewall, private endpoints, ExpressRoute, VPN Gateway, Entra ID, RBAC, PIM, Key Vault, Policy, compute, PaaS (App Service, Functions, ACA, AKS)

DevOps: CI/CD (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions), Git workflows, testing frameworks, scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python)

Design patterns: Secure-by-design, IaC best practices, hub-and-spoke networking, observability, resilience, DR

Microsoft ecosystem: M365, D365, Fabric, Power Platform integration patterns

Desirable Knowledge, Skills & Experience:

Azure certifications (AZ-305, AZ-400)

Azure Enterprise Scale Landing Zones

Container orchestration (Kubernetes, ACA, AKS)

API Management (APIM, Logic Apps, Event Grid), SRE or DevOps transformation

Open-source contributions

Multiple IaC tools (Bicep, Ansible)

FinOps/cost optimization

Security frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST)

Education:

Relevant degree desirable, or equivalent competencies in college.

Please note: This is a full-time, permanent position working remotely in Romania.
