🚀 We’re Growing Our Cloud Dream Team! As part of our international Cloud/DevOps squad, you’ll craft tailor-made solutions that wow our clients. We’re hunting for a passionate Principal Cloud Engineer with a solid technical background. Your mission is not just to build infrastructure — but to design, evolve and scale cloud-native and AI-driven platforms that are secure, resilient, and production-ready.

This role is for engineers who enjoy owning architecture decisions, working close to product and AI teams, and pushing cloud platforms to the next level.

  • You’ll tackle the unique challenges of cloud infrastructure, working alongside a team of brilliant minds to build scalable and reliable solutions.

  • You’ll dive into cutting-edge projects using the latest tech to push boundaries and make an impact.

  • Whether you prefer working from home or vibing with us at our offices, the choice is yours.

  • AGILE isn’t just a buzzword here — it’s how we roll. Multidisciplinary teams? Check. Full ownership of projects? Double check.

You will be responsible for:

  • Design and lead cloud architectures on Azure, covering networking, security, governance, IaaS, PaaS and serverless solutions.
  • Own the infrastructure of AI-powered platforms, including conversational AI systems with: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Document ingestion, processing and vector search and Integration with LLM providers and AI services.
  • Build and evolve CI/CD pipelines for both application and infrastructure, following DevSecOps best practices.
  • Develop Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) with a strong focus on reusability, scalability and maintainability.
  • Design and operate production-grade environments, ensuring: High availability and performance, monitoring, logging and observability and cost optimization and reliability
  • Collaborate closely with AI, data and software teams to productionize ML/LLM solutions (MLOps mindset). Actively propose improvements and new technical approaches, contributing to architectural decisions and technical roadmaps.
  • Work in Agile, autonomous, multidisciplinary teams, with real ownership from design to production.

Requirements

  • · Strong experience with Microsoft Azure in real production environments.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in Cloud / DevOps / Platform Engineering roles.
  • Proven experience designing and implementing IaaS, PaaS and cloud-native architectures.
  • Solid knowledge of networking, security and governance models in cloud environments.
  • Experience with Azure DevOps (Repos, Pipelines) and CI/CD practices.
  • Strong background in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
  • Experience monitoring and operating high-traffic, production web platforms.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML or LLM-based platforms in production environments.
  • Comfortable working with Agile methodologies, Jira and Confluence.
  • Fluent English (mandatory) — you’ll work daily with international teams and clients.

Very nice to have:

  • Experience in hybrid and multi-cloud environments (AWS / GCP).
  • Kubernetes and container orchestration knowledge.
  • Experience with GitHub and GitHub Actions.
  • MLOps practices (model lifecycle, deployment, monitoring, retraining).
  • Scripting skills (PowerShell, Bash, Python).
  • Software development background (Python, Go, .NET or similar).
  • Experience with observability tools (Azure Monitor, App Insights, Prometheus, Grafana, etc.).
  • A proactive mindset: autonomy, technical leadership and continuous improvement.
