About the Role
We are hiring a Principal Platform Engineer to help build and scale our Azure-native cloud platform as we migrate services from an on-premises data center to the cloud. This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong mentoring component -- you will design and build alongside the team while raising the technical bar for engineers earlier in their careers. You will work across infrastructure, deployment automation, observability, and security tooling, with exposure to both legacy automation modernization and net-new platform capability.
This is an individual contributor role. You will not have direct reports, but you will be expected to mentor and provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level engineers on the team, including reviewing designs, pairing on complex problems, and setting technical direction by example.

What You'll Do
· Design and build Azure infrastructure using a cloud native approach, leveraging managed services wherever they meet reliability and cost requirements.




· Lead technical execution of the migration of services from an on-premises data center to Azure, including dependency mapping, migration sequencing, and cutover risk management.
· Operate and extend our AKS-based platform, including GitOps deployment patterns, namespace isolation, and policy enforcement.
· Own and evolve reusable Terraform modules that other engineering teams consume, with explicit interface contracts between platform-owned and application-owned infrastructure.
· Build and maintain observability coverage (metrics, logs, alerting) so that platform and application health are measurable and actionable, not just instrumented.
· Apply policy-as-code to enforce security, compliance, and operational standards across the platform, and reduce reliance on manual review gates.
· Design and review Identity and Access Management patterns, including workload identity, least-privilege access models, and secrets management -- with a clear bias away from static credential
