Key Responsibilities

Core Cloud Engineering Duties

• Architect, deploy, and maintain robust Azure cloud infrastructure—including virtual networks, compute, storage, and managed services—that supports enterprise‑grade analytical workloads.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, or Bicep to ensure repeatable, version‑controlled deployments.
• Design, build, and manage CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar) that automate application releases, infrastructure provisioning, and testing.
• Collaborate with development and DevOps teams to integrate cloud services into agile delivery cycles, providing guidance on best practices for scalability and reliability.
• Continuously monitor cloud environments with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights; proactively identify performance bottlenecks and resolve incidents.
• Develop automated remediation scripts (PowerShell, Bash, or Python) to address common operational issues, reducing mean‑time‑to‑resolution (MTTR).
• Lead root‑cause analysis for service outages or degradations, implement corrective actions, and drive post‑mortem reviews to prevent recurrence.
• Optimize cloud spend through rightsizing, reserved instances, and cost‑analysis dashboards; provide actionable recommendations to finance and leadership.
• Enforce security best practices—network segmentation, identity & access management (IAM), encryption, and vulnerability scanning—to maintain compliance with FedEx, industry, and regulatory standards.
• Create and maintain high‑quality documentation, runbooks, and knowledge‑base articles that capture architecture decisions, operational procedures, and lessons learned.

Collaboration & Leadership

• Partner with solution architects to translate business requirements into cloud‑native designs that meet performance, security, and cost objectives.
• Mentor junior engineers and peers on IaC, automation, and cloud security, fostering a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing.
• Participate in cross‑functional sprint planning, design reviews, and architecture guilds to align cloud strategy with product roadmaps.
• Serve as an escalation point for complex technical challenges, guiding teams through troubleshooting and architectural refinements.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3‑4 + years of professional experience building and operating cloud platforms, with a strong focus on Microsoft Azure.
• Demonstrated proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM/Bicep, or Azure CLI) and automation scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python).
• Solid understanding of the OSI model and networking concepts, includ
