Senior Azure Cloud SRE

Job Description

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Azure Cloud SRE to support critical cloud security and infrastructure initiatives. The role will focus on securing Azure services, updating Terraform modules, validating network changes, and remediating security findings across a large cloud environment. The strongest candidates combine deep Azure expertise with sound networking fundamentals and proactive, concise communication.

Day to Day

• Update and enhance Terraform modules for Azure resources, including moving services from public to private network configurations.
• Assess the downstream connectivity and security implications of infrastructure and network changes before deployment.
• Work across Azure services such as Storage Accounts, Redis, Key Vault, virtual machines, App Services, Container Instances, Azure Container Apps, and Kubernetes.
• Review cloud and container security findings, determine remediation paths, and validate completed fixes.
• Support ingress and egress controls, web application firewalls, jump boxes, private endpoints, routing, and related network patterns.
• Provide clear stand-up updates, maintain accurate tickets, document work, and proactively surface risks or blockers.
• Collaborate with SRE and security stakeholders on time-sensitive project work and day-to-day operational priorities.

Must Haves

• Deep, hands-on Microsoft Azure experience. This is an Azure-first role; AWS-led profiles are not a fit.
• Strong Terraform skills, including modifying reusable modules, validating changes, and troubleshooting infrastructure-as-code deployments.
• Solid networking fundamentals, including TCP/UDP, HTTP layers, ingress/egress, firewalls, routing, private networking, and service connectivity.
• Experience securing Azure resources and understanding how network changes affect dependent applications and services.
• Ability to review security findings and implement practical remediation in cloud and container environments.
• Clear, proactive communication with disciplined ticket updates, stand-up reporting, and work documentation.
• Availability to work Eastern Time hours in a fully remote environment.

Plusses

• Working knowledge of Kubernetes and/or Azure Container Apps, particularly reviewing findings and supporting remediation.
• Experience with Azure orchestration and application platforms such as App Services or Container Instances.
• Background supporting information security programs or large-scale cloud security remediation work.
• Experience operating in high-priority environments where speed, ownership, and reliable delivery are essential.
• Ability to provide informal squad leadership, strengthen team communication, and help others close execution gaps.
