Senior Platform Engineer

We are looking for Senior Platform Engineers to design, build, and continuously improve an Azure-based internal developer platform. The platform should enable development teams to provision infrastructure, deploy applications, and manage services through secure, automated, and standardized self-service capabilities.
Responsibilities:
Design, build, and evolve internal developer platforms that provide self-service infrastructure provisioning and application deployment capabilities.
Design, implement, and maintain reusable Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline templates and standardized golden paths for application build, testing, security scanning, deployment, and release management.
Automate the onboarding of applications and development teams into Azure DevOps, including repository creation, branching policies, pipeline configuration, permissions, service connections, and environment setup.
Define and implement Azure DevOps governance standards, including repository policies, pull request controls, approval workflows, role-based access, auditability, and segregation of duties.
Build reusable automation and self-service capabilities for application onboarding, infrastructure provisioning, environment creation, deployment, and operational readiness.
Embed security, compliance, observability, cost management, and governance controls into Azure DevOps pipelines and platform capabilities rather than relying on manual approval gates.
Integrate automated quality and security checks into CI/CD pipelines, including code quality analysis, dependency scanning, container image scanning, infrastructure validation, and policy compliance.
Establish monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational dashboards for platform services and deployed workloads.
Work closely with development, security, operations, and architecture teams to drive platform adoption, resolve technical issues, and continuously improve the developer experience.
Create and maintain platform documentation, operating procedures, reusable standards, and onboarding guides.
Collaborate with development teams and translate their requirements into scalable platform capabilities.
Requirements:
Strong hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, including Azure Repos, Azure Pipelines, YAML-based pipeline development, Azure Artifacts, Azure Test Plans, Azure Boards, Environments, approval workflows, service connections, variable groups, and Azure Key Vault integration.
Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration in Azure environments, particularly Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
Deep experience with Microsoft Azure services, including Azure networking and private connectivity, Microsoft Entra ID, managed identities, Azure Key Vault, Azure Container Registry, Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics.
Experience with infrastructure provisioning and subscription governance.
Proven experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform and/or Bicep, including reusable modules, standardized templates, and governed infrastructure patterns.
Experience integrating Terraform or Bicep with Azure DevOps Pipelines for automated and controlled infrastructure provisioning.
Experience with platform provisioning and abstraction layers using Crossplane or other cloud-native control-plane technologies.
Strong understanding of platform engineering principles, including team topologies, platform-as-a-product thinking, developer self-service, and stream-aligned teams.
Ability to communicate clearly and professionally in English, with strong technical documentation and stakeholder management skills.
Experience working with distributed teams across different countries and time zones.
Experience with PowerShell, Azure CLI, Bash, Python, or similar automation and scripting technologies.
