Azure Infrastructure And Network EngineeringThis role is a hands-on Azure Infrastructure and Network Engineering position, responsible for designing, building, and troubleshooting cloud and hybrid networked platforms using Terraform and Azure DevOps.The engineer is expected to think from first principles, explain why a design works, and independently diagnose and resolve network and infrastructure issues without relying solely on runbooks.Key ResponsibilitiesAzure Infrastructure & Terraform Engineering:Design, build, and own Azure infrastructure using Terraform as the primary IaC tool.Create reusable Terraform modules from scratch, not just consume existing templates.Explain and apply:Resource dependenciesState management (remote state, locking, drift detection)Environment isolation strategiesIntegrate Terraform with Azure DevOps YAML pipelines for controlled CI/CD deployments.Perform root-cause analysis for failed Terraform plans/applies and configuration drift.Refactor manually created Azure resources into fully Terraform-managed infrastructure.Azure & Hybrid Network Engineering (Core Requirement):Act as the primary Network Engineering SME for Azure and hybrid environments.Design and troubleshoot:Azure VNETs, subnets, peering, and hub-and-spoke architecturesNSGs, ASGs, UDRs, route tables, and effective routesAzure VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute connectivityAzure Firewall, NVAs, load balancers (L4/L7)Demonstrate strong understanding of networking fundamentals, including:TCP/IP, routing vs switchingDNS resolution flowsNAT, firewall rules, asymmetric routingLatency, packet loss, and throughput issuesEnterprise Networking & Troubleshooting:Hands-on experience with enterprise networking platforms:Cisco and Juniper (routing, switching, firewall fundamentals)EdgeConnect (SD-WAN) or equivalent WAN solutionsPerform end-to-end troubleshooting across:Application layerOS/network stackAzure networking constructsOn-prem ? cloud connectivityHandle L3-level escalations, not just ticket execution.Engineering Operations & Change Ownership:Own infrastructure and network changes during approved change windows.Perform impact analysis and rollback planning, not just change execution.Maintain engineering-quality documentation, including:Network diagramsTerraform module documentationRunbooks written by the engineer, not just consumedContribute to standards, best practices, and continuous improvement.Mandatory – Azure Networking & Fundamentals:Deep understanding of:Azure networking constructsCore networking principles (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalling)Ability to explain networking concepts clearly and confidently.Experience troubleshooting complex hybrid and multi-network environments.
