• Support Kubernetes-based application development, deployment, configuration, scaling, and troubleshooting.

• Assist with platform automation for build, release, configuration, and environment setup.

• Help maintain secure secrets, identity, and access patterns using services such as Azure Key Vault and managed identity.

• Contribute to monitoring and operational tooling using Azure-native observability and logging solutions.

• Work with senior engineers to improve platform standards, reusable patterns, and self-service capabilities.

• Handle provision and Azure resources request process.

• Participate in production support, root cause analysis, and follow-up remediation work.

• Document technical designs, runbooks, and platform operating procedures clearly.

Required Qualifications:

• 3 to 5 years of experience in cloud engineering, platform engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering.
