This is a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Cloud Engineer to take ownership of the Azure infrastructure supporting an established international IoT and SaaS platform, with significant influence over its architecture, security and future scalability.
Based in Cape Town (hybrid), this role is paying R1.2M–R1.4M per annum.
THE COMPANY:
A global technology company developing IoT devices and cloud-based software used to monitor critical infrastructure across water, utilities, rail, mining and industrial operations. Their technology enables organisations to remotely monitor equipment, identify faults and make informed decisions using data collected from connected devices in the field.
With customers in over 15 countries and billions of measurements processed annually, the company operates a multi-tenant SaaS platform built on Azure. The engineering environment combines large-scale data processing, secure device connectivity and reliable cloud infrastructure, with teams taking direct ownership of the systems they build and operate.
THE ROLE:
As Senior Cloud Engineer, you’ll take technical ownership of the Azure networking, security and core infrastructure supporting the company’s SaaS platform, with the autonomy to shape how its cloud environments are designed, secured and scaled.
You’ll design and build Azure landing zones and network architectures, including hub-and-spoke VNets, routing, firewalls, private connectivity and secure ingress. Working extensively with Infrastructure as Code, you’ll develop reusable modules and automation standards that enable software engineering teams to provision and manage their own infrastructure safely and independently.
Beyond the hands-on engineering, you’ll lead new environment builds and production migrations, drive improvements to platform security and resilience, and establish the technical standards adopted across the engineering organisation. This is an opportunity to move beyond maintaining existing infrastructure and play a leading role in how an international cloud platform evolves.
THE REQUIREMENTS:
- 7+ years’ Cloud Infrastructure, Network or Platform Engineering experience, including 4+ years in Azure.
- Strong Azure networking: VNets, hub-and-spoke, routing, Azure Firewall, NSGs, Application Gateway, WAF, Private Link and DNS.
- Experience building Azure landing zones and cloud environments from scratch.
- Strong IaC experience with Bicep or Terraform.
- Azure DevOps pipelines and PowerShell, Bash or Azure CLI scripting.
- Cloud security, network segmentation, hybrid connectivity and high availability.
- Experience leading production migrations and managing production cloud infrastructure.
- SaaS environment experience advantageous.
- AZ-700 certification advantageous.
