**Workplace:** hybrid

**Department:** DevOps

## Description

We are looking for a **DevOps & IT Specialist** with a strong background in **Microsoft Azure**, cloud infrastructure, and secure deployment practices. This role bridges the gap between infrastructure, security, and development by automating cloud operations, maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines, and supporting internal IT needs. You will be instrumental in ensuring our systems are secure, scalable, and reliable—both for internal use and for client-facing deployments.

### **Key Responsibilities**

### **DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure**

-   Design, implement, and maintain **Azure-based infrastructure** using **Infrastructure as Code** (e.g.,Terraform).
-   Manage and optimize CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI) for secure and automated deployments.
-   Monitor infrastructure and application performance; set up alerts, logging, and incident response mechanisms (e.g., Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Sentinel).
-   Collaborate with development teams to support cloud-native application delivery and microservices.
-   Monitor and troubleshoot production environments, ensuring high availability and performance.
-   Implement security best practices across cloud deployments (e.g., identity and access management, encryption, vulnerability scanning).

### **Network Engineering**

-   Design and maintain **virtual networks**, subnets, NSGs, routing, and VPN gateways within Azure.
-   Implement **hybrid networking** (on-prem to Azure) and secure **site-to-site or point-to-site VPNs**.
-   Manage and secure **Azure Firewall, Azure Front Door, Application Gateways**, and **WAFs**.
-   Ensure **network segmentation, traffic control, and zero trust principles** are enforced across environments.
-   Support **load balancing**, DNS management (Azure DNS), and traffic optimization for high availability.
-   Work with security teams to ensure compliance with network-related controls and best practices (e.g., logging, IDS, encryption-in-transit).

## Requirements

-   3–5+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or IT Operations.
-   Deep hands-on experience with **cloud-native architectures (preferrably Azure)**
-   Solid knowledge of **routing, firewalls, VPNs, NAT, DNS, IPsec, and TLS**.
-   Experience with infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Deployment Manager
-   Strong proficiency in CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI/CD;
-   Experience with containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes;
-   Familiarity with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes a plus).
-   Knowledge of **cybersecurity principles** and secure infrastructure practices.
-   Knowledge of Linux operating systems and networking concepts;
-   Effective communication and collaboration abilities.

### Preferred Certifications

-   Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate
-   Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert
-   Cisco CCNP or equivalent cloud-networking certifications

## Benefits

-   Competitive remuneration package adjusted to proven skills and experience;
-   Excellent working conditions;
