Senior Cloud Engineer

We are building a modern contract management platform at Swiss Re that is transforming how we handle documents across our organization. We need a skilled cloud engineer who can help us create and maintain the infrastructure that powers this platform. If you enjoy working with Azure, automation, and building reliable systems, we would like to talk with you.

About the Role

You will be responsible for our cloud infrastructure, working with Azure services, containerization technologies, and DevOps practices to keep our platform running efficiently. You will focus on automation and infrastructure-as-code to create reliable, repeatable deployment processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop infrastructure-as-code solutions that ensure consistent, reliable deployments across environments

• Manage operations for deployments, maintenance, backups, and updates with a focus on reliability
• Respond to incidents promptly and effectively to minimize downtime and system disruptions
• Share expertise with team members to elevate the overall technical capabilities of the group

About You

• Proficiency with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning, with an emphasis on creating maintainable, modular code
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, preferably using Azure DevOps

These are additional nice to haves
