- Ensure all infrastructure deployments are automated, version-controlled, and repeatable.
CI/CD Pipeline Migration & Optimisation:
- Re-architect and configure CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps to build and deploy applications into the new Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) environment.
- Automate deployment processes and integrate security and quality checks (e.g., SonarQube) into the pipeline.
Troubleshooting & Support:
- Act as the subject matter expert for Azure during the migration, resolving technical challenges and production issues.
- Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation and runbooks for the new Azure platform.
Decommissioning:
- Plan and execute the safe decommissioning of legacy AWS infrastructure components post-migration.

Key Skills & Experience:

Proven Migration Experience: Demonstrable experience leading or playing a key role in at least one significant cloud migration project, specifically from AWS to Azure.
Multi-Cloud Expertise: Strong, hands-on capability with both AWS and Microsoft Azure core services. Azure certifications (e.g., Azure Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer Expert) are highly desirable.
Infrastructure as Code Experience: Proficiency with Terraform in a multi-cloud context. Experience with Bicep or ARM templates is a strong plus.
Kubernetes Proficiency: Solid experience with container orchestration using Kubernetes, including management of clusters in both EKS (AWS) and AKS (Azure).
CI/CD Automation: In-depth knowledge of CI/CD principles and tools.
Observability: Practical experience setting up and using monitoring and logging tools such as Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Prometheus, UpTrends.
Communication & Collaboration: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
