Mid/Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer with Azure and GCP

Get to know us better

CodiLime is a software and network engineering industry expert and the first-choice service partner for top global networking hardware providers, software providers and telecoms. We create proofs-of-concept, help our clients build new products, nurture existing ones and provide services in production environments. Our clients include both tech startups and big players in various industries and geographic locations (US, Japan, Israel, Europe).

While no longer a startup - we have 250+ people on board and have been operating since 2011 we’ve kept our people-oriented culture. Our values are simple:

• Act to deliver.

• Disrupt to grow.

• Team up to win.

The project and the team

 We are looking for a Cloud DevOps Engineer to join a project team that makes a Kubernetes-based platform run on Microsoft Azure. The platform runs on Google Cloud today and is deployed to many clusters with GitOps. The team will find what depends on GCP, build a new Azure environment as code, port the platform components to it, and support the customer's application teams while they move their services.

Other things to know:

• The project team brings together DevOps, Cloud and Platform Engineers, who work as CodiLime subject matter experts (SMEs)

• We work inside the customer's own repositories, through merge requests reviewed by the customer's Cloud Infrastructure team, and pair with their engineers so that they can run Azure on their own after the project

• The customer is a company with teams in Europe, so you will work with a working-hours overlap with Central European Time

• The work is phased: it starts with a gap analysis, followed by the platform port and support for the application teams

We work on multiple interesting projects at a time, so we may invite you to an interview for another project if we see that your competencies and profile are well suited for it.

Your role

As part of the project team, you will be responsible for:

• Analysing the existing GCP-based platform and cloud infrastructure code, and proposing an Azure equivalent for every GCP dependency

• Designing the target Azure environment: subscriptions, networking, AKS, identity, secrets, DNS, container registry, storage and databases

• Building the Azure environment as code with Terraform, through the customer's review and deployment flow

• Porting platform components to AKS with the same GitOps workflow (Flux) as on GCP, following the existing per-provider patterns

• Preparing CI/CD changes and automation so that every release is built, deployed and tested on Azure

• Helping choose how to manage cloud resources from Kubernetes in a way that avoids new vendor lock-in (for example Azure Service Operator, Crossplane or Terraform)

• Supporting the customer's application teams when they move their services, and fixing the platform issues they find

• Handing over knowledge to the customer's engineers through pairing, documentation and a final knowledge-transfer session

Do we have a match?

As a Mid/Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer, you should ideally meet the following criteria:

• 4+ years of experience in DevOps, cloud or platform engineering roles

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, in particular AKS, networking, identity (Microsoft Entra, workload identity), Key Vault, Azure DNS and storage

• Good knowledge of Google Cloud (GCP), in particular GKE, IAM, Cloud DNS, storage and managed databases, enough to understand an existing GCP setup and map it to Azure

• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, including modules and a reviewed workflow

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, for example GitLab CI, with automated tests and releases

• Good knowledge of Kubernetes and Linux

• Experience with GitOps, for example Flux or Argo CD

• Experience with production-grade deployments

• Knowledge of a scripting language (for example Bash or Python)

• Experience working with customers or technical stakeholders on a shared codebase

• Fluency in English (minimum B2 level)

• Willingness to learn: you will face challenges that require creativity, individual solutions and teamwork

• Readiness to work in an international environment, with working hours that overlap with Central European Time

Beyond the criteria above, we would appreciate:

• Experience with a migration between public clouds, or with multi-cloud Kubernetes

• Experience with Config Connector, Azure Service Operator, Crossplane or similar tools that manage cloud resources from Kubernetes

• Knowledge of secrets management with External Secrets, SOPS and cloud key management

• Experience with cert-manager, external-dns and ingress or load balancing on Kubernetes

• Experience with Atlantis, Nix or moon

• Knowledge of networking in the public cloud (virtual networks, private clusters, NAT, VPN)

• Microsoft Azure, HashiCorp Terraform or Kubernetes (CKA, CKAD, CKS) certifications

More reasons to join us

• Flexible working hours and approach to work: fully remotely, in the office or hybrid

• Professional growth supported by internal training sessions and a training budget

• Solid onboarding with a hands-on approach to give you an easy start

• A great atmosphere among professionals who are passionate about their work

• The ability to change the project you work on
