As a Cloud Engineer, you will work closely with experienced engineers to develop and manage cloud-based solutions on Microsoft Azure. You will gain practical exposure to cloud environments, learning how modern infrastructure is deployed, configured, and maintained in production settings. This role provides a strong foundation in cloud engineering, DevOps practices, and infrastructure automation. Your responsibilities will include assisting in managing Azure environments and subscriptions, supporting infrastructure deployments using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates, and helping build and maintain CI/CD pipelines. You will also assist with configuring networking and access controls, monitor system health, and support cost optimization and resource management efforts. Additionally, you will collaborate with engineering teams on cloud-related tasks and maintain clear technical documentation. This role is ideal for candidates with basic experience or exposure to Microsoft Azure, whether through academic projects, internships, or early professional work. You should have a foundational understanding of cloud concepts such as compute, storage, and networking, as well as familiarity with Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD practices.
