  • Manage and automate provisioning of Windows Server and Linux hosts in both on-prem (Hyper-V) and Azure IaaS/PaaS environments.
  • Build and operate Kubernetes clusters (AKS in Azure, and/or on-prem distributions) including networking, storage, ingress, and workload onboarding.
  • Own infrastructure-as-code: author and maintain reusable modules and templates so environments are reproducible and version-controlled.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, golden paths, and deployment automation that let teams ship safely without manual handoffs.
  • Implement observability across the estate: monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards for both infrastructure and application health.
  • Harden the platform to meet security and compliance requirements, and produce the evidence/automation needed to sustain audits.
  • Document platform capabilities, runbooks, and standards, and support internal teams adopting them.
  • Participate in on-call / incident response and drive post-incident improvements.

  • Solid Linux administration (common distros, systemd, shell, package management, troubleshooting).
  • Hyper-V virtualization: provisioning, management, and troubleshooting in production.
  • Kubernetes in production: cluster operations, Helm, ingress, secrets, and workload troubleshooting (AKS a plus).
  • Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform
  • CI/CD pipeline design (Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions).
  • Strong scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python).
  • Entra ID (Azure AD) and hybrid identity concepts.
  • Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, routing, firewalls, hybrid connectivity.
  • What Will Make You Stand Out:

  • Experience using Claude Code (or similar AI coding agents) to automate infrastructure, scripting, and platform tasks.
  • Configuration management (Ansible, DSC).
  • Container registry, image scanning, and supply-chain security tooling.
  • GitOps (Argo CD, Flux).
  • GitHub (repos, Actions, and pull-request workflows) as the primary version-control platform.
