Senior Azure / AKS Platform Engineer (Terraform Expert | Advanced Networking | GitOps)

We are looking for a senior platform engineer with deep, hands-on experience designing enterprise Azure and AKS infrastructures at scale.

This role is for engineers who build cloud platforms using advanced Terraform, next-generation Kubernetes networking, and GitOps automation.

If you are used to solving complex infrastructure challenges and designing systems that must be secure, resilient, and production-critical, this role is for you.

We are looking for a Senior Azure / AKS Platform Engineer with deep expertise in Terraform, advanced Kubernetes networking, and GitOps, to design, implement, and evolve enterprise-grade Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) platforms.

The role involves working on highly advanced cloud-native infrastructure scenarios, including Infrastructure as Code at scale, zero-trust network architectures, and next-generation Kubernetes networking models.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Design and maintenance of complex Terraform modules for Azure infrastructure, including advanced lifecycle management and multi-environment state strategies
  • Extension of standard provider capabilities using AzAPI and custom integrations
  • Design and implementation of advanced AKS networking architectures, including:
    • Cilium eBPF dataplane (kube-proxy replacement)
    • WireGuard inter-node encryption
    • Azure Application Gateway for Containers (AGC)
  • Migration from traditional Ingress Controllers (NGINX / Traefik) to Kubernetes Gateway API architectures integrated with native Azure load balancing
  • Implementation of dynamic node provisioning strategies (Karpenter-based approaches or equivalent AKS dynamic scaling models) optimizing On-Demand vs Spot workloads
  • Automation of DNS and identity integration, including:
    • External-DNS (Azure Private DNS / GoDaddy)
    • Azure Workload Identity integration (Key Vault, Storage, and platform services)
  • Implementation of namespace isolation and Zero-Trust security models, including kernel-level security integrations and Network Policies enforcement
  • Support GitOps delivery pipelines using Flux CD or ArgoCD
  • Collaboration with architecture, security, and DevOps teams to ensure platform scalability, reliability, and security compliance

Required Skills

  • 4–5+ years real production experience with Terraform on Azure
  • Deep understanding of Azure infrastructure components, including:
    • VNET architecture (Peering, Overlay models, Subnet Delegation)
    • Managed Identities
    • Private Endpoints / Private Link
    • Traffic management and routing strategies
  • Strong architectural and operational experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including control plane and data plane behavior
  • Strong experience with advanced Kubernetes networking (CNI, dataplane behavior, service routing, network policies)
  • Proven experience implementing GitOps delivery models using Flux CD or ArgoCD
  • Strong troubleshooting capabilities in complex distributed cloud environments
  • Ability to work autonomously in high-complexity enterprise environments

Preferred Skills

  • Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert

  • HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (or higher)

  • Experience in multi-cluster or multi-region architectures

  • Experience designing global traffic routing and failover strategies

  • Experience in Zero-Trust infrastructure and platform security models
