#Responsibilities

• Own and maintain cloud infrastructure (Azure), covering capacity, usage, security, compliance, networking, cost control, disaster recovery, documentation, and performance.
• Apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles using Bicep and ARM templates to ensure reproducibility and consistency.
• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) for the engineering team.
• Remain hands-on with coding - using C# and PowerShell at the cloud administration level.
• Provide tooling, templates, and automation that improve developer productivity and consistency.
• Lead incident response activities, ensuring quick resolution and driving continuous improvement from incidents.
• Maintain the platform within defined SLOs/SLIs for reliability and stability.
• Collaborate with the engineering team on infrastructure, deployment, and operational best practices, and align with architectural standards for long-term scalability.

#To be a good fit for the role, you need to:

• Be a coder who owns Azure infrastructure and thinks in terms of platform-as-a-product — with internal teams, end users, and corporate customers as your stakeholders.
• Be proactive about automation and eliminating manual work.
• Care deeply about security, compliance, monitoring, cost, and reliability.
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Be open to feedback, personal growth, and collaborative improvement.
• Treat documentation and reproducibility as essential parts of your work.

• Strong knowledge of cloud security principles (identity, encryption, networking, compliance).
• Experience implementing observability solutions in Azure using native tooling.
• Strong written and spoken English skills.

#You will have stronger chances if you:

• Worked in environments with ISO 27001 or GDPR/KVKK compliance.
• Have experience with cost optimization and Azure cost management.
• Built or supported multi-region, highly available architectures.
• Have familiarity with frontend/mobile CI/CD (build pipelines, app store automation).
• Have experience mentoring or enabling teams through platform practices.

#What we offer:

• An interesting and highly responsible job in a young and interdisciplinary team;
• Participation in national & global-scale projects;
• State-of-the-art technical facilities (software and communication tools);
• Professional development opportunities;
• Remote or hybrid work opportunity;
• Performance-based yearly bonuses.
