Introduction
CMC Global is seeking a highly skilled Senior Cloud Platform Engineer with deep expertise in Windows-based systems and Azure cloud infrastructure. This role involves designing and operating scalable, secure, and automated environments, supporting both legacy and modern applications. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust internal platforms and tools.
Job Description - Design and implement internal dashboards and APIs (REST/gRPC) using React and a modern backend stack (.NET, Node.js, or Python).
- Manage containerized workloads on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including Docker (Windows \& Linux), Helm/Kustomize, ingress controllers, node pool configurations (taints/tolerations), and Azure Container Registry (ACR).
- Build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform (multi-environment setups, modular architecture, state management, and CI/CD integration).
- Automate system configurations with Ansible for both Windows and Linux targets, ensuring idempotency and secure secret handling.

- Design and operate CI/CD pipelines for Windows applications using GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, including runner/agent setup and artifact/versioning strategies.
- Administer SQL Server in cloud environments: backup/restore, high availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR), migration strategies, and performance tuning.
- Implement secure networking and access controls: VNETs/VPCs, private endpoints, just-in-time (JIT) access, IAM/least privilege principles, and key vault integration.
- Establish observability practices: metrics, logs, traces, OpenTelemetry integration, and actionable dashboards with alerting.
- Lead cross-functional teams with a documentation-first mindset and clear communication.
