The Role
Own, build, manage, and automate cloud hosting environments across Azure and private cloud. Support business-critical SaaS applications, optimize deployments, strengthen security, and contribute to Azure migration and platform evolution.
Summary Generated by Built In
Behind every successful SaaS solution is a reliable cloud platform. Thanks to you, cloud applications stay secure, stable, and always available.
As a Cloud Application Specialist, you will build, manage, and deploy cloud hosting environments that power modern SaaS solutions. This is a permanent, internal position working directly for our platform, not a consultancy or temporary project assignment. You will take long term ownership of our environments, working across both Microsoft Azure and private cloud systems to help automate infrastructure, support business-critical applications, and play an important role in our ongoing transition to Azure while helping maintain the existing platform.
You'll work with technologies such as Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Bicep, PowerShell, Windows Server, and Active Directory. Together with an experienced Cloud Platform Team, you'll optimize cloud environments, automate deployments, strengthen security, and contribute to the continuous evolution of the Azure platform.
