- Architect and manage cloud infrastructure across Azure, AWS, and GCP using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation)
- Manage containerized application workloads using Kubernetes (AKS, EKS, or GKE) and Docker
- Implement and maintain cloud security best practices: IAM policies, network segmentation, secrets management, vulnerability scanning
- Design and maintain observability stacks — logging, metrics, alerting — using tools such as Azure Monitor, CloudWatch, Datadog, or Grafana/Prometheus
- Collaborate with software and ML engineering teams to define deployment strategies, optimize release pipelines, and reduce deployment risk
- Evaluate and introduce tooling improvements that enhance reliability, scalability, and developer productivity
- Contribute to incident response and post-mortem processes, driving root cause analysis and corrective actions
- Build and maintain internal documentation on infrastructure architecture, operational runbooks, and DR procedures
- Mentor junior team members and provide technical guidance on cloud and DevOps best practices
What You Bring
- Degree or equivalent work experience in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline
- 3-6 years of progressive DevOps, cloud engineering, or site reliability engineering experience
- Strong hands-on experience with at least two of: Azure, AWS, GCP — multi-cloud exposure is highly valued
- Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in production environments
- Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code: Terraform required; Bicep, Pulumi, or CDK are a plus
- Solid Kubernetes experience: cluster management, Helm charts, workload scaling, networking
- Scripting fluency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation and tooling
- Experience implementing cloud security controls: IAM, RBAC, network policies, key management
- Understanding of software delivery lifecycle and agile development practices
- Strong troubleshooting ability across networking, compute, storage, and application layers
Desirable
- Relevant cloud certifications: AZ-104 / AZ-400, AWS Solutions Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Architect
- Experience supporting ML/AI workloads: GPU clusters, model deployment pipelines, MLflow, Kubeflow
- Background in GitOps practices using ArgoCD or Flux
- Experience with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd)
- Exposure to FinOps principles and cloud cost optimization
- Prior experience in a startup or scale-up software environment
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks relevant to Canadian tech companies (SOC 2, PIPEDA)
