Sr. Cloud Platform Engineer (Azure focus)
Contract: 12 -18 Months
Worksite: Grand Rapids, MI
Hybrid 3-4 days a week (Flexible on relocation timeline Nov- Jan)
Job Description
An Aerospace Company in the Grand Rapids area is looking for a Sr Cloud Platform Engineer to join a 10-person Agile team developing an air traffic management SaaS solution that will be supporting safety-critical activities. This person will help mature an advanced application with limited customer access into a robust and scalable production service. The 2027 team focus is approximately 70% productionization, including planned DO-278 assurance level 4 (AL4) work. This person will primarily implement cloud/platform improvements while supporting remaining application and data-processing needs.
The expected outcome is a tested, repeatably deployable platform that meets agreed reliability, scalability, security, and recovery criteria. Actionable monitoring and runbooks; review-ready assurance evidence; and effective handover to the core team.
Ideal Skills & Experience
• Experienced in taking cloud-native SaaS from pilot to production and supporting high-availability services (we are looking for a senior hands-on implementor, not solely an architect or advisor)
• Azure, Kubernetes/AKS, containers, Linux, and troubleshooting across applications, networks, compute, and storage experience
• Practical infrastructure-as-code (ex. Terraform/Bicep), CI/CD, observability, automated testing, and software development/scripting skills
• Experience with Cloud security and distributed data-processing; documentation, clear communication, and effective collaboration in a small cross-functional Agile team
