We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Azure Cloud Native Engineer to provide expert, independent support to our healthcare client. This senior resource will operate with minimal direction, taking full ownership of triaging, diagnosing, and resolving complex issues in cloud-native Azure environments. You will ensure high availability, security, performance, and compliance for mission-critical healthcare applications handling sensitive patient data (PHI/ePHI). Ideal for a self-motivated professional who thrives in fast-paced, regulated environments and can proactively prevent issues while rapidly resolving incidents to minimize impact on patient care and operations.
Job Responsibility:
Independently triage, diagnose, and resolve production incidents and performance issues in Azure cloud-native workloads with urgency and precision, minimizing downtime for healthcare systems
Own end-to-end problem management — from root cause analysis (RCA) to permanent fixes, preventive measures, and knowledge sharing to reduce recurrence
Design, implement, and optimize cloud-native architectures on Azure using PaaS/serverless/container services (e.g., AKS, Azure Container Apps, Azure Functions, Azure API Management, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL) while adhering to healthcare best practices
Ensure full compliance with healthcare regulations (HIPAA, HITECH, HITRUST CSF where required) by leveraging Azure-native security and governance tools: Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure Policy, Private Endpoints, Managed Identities, Key Vault, encryption at rest/in-transit, audit logging, and signed BAAs
Automate infrastructure, deployments, and operations using IaC (Bicep preferred, Terraform/ARM) and GitOps/CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions)
Monitor, alert, and optimize Azure environments with Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics
implement proactive health checks and chaos/resilience testing
Lead or support refactoring/migration efforts to cloud-native patterns, improving scalability, cost-efficiency, and security for healthcare workloads (e.g., patient portals, EHR integrations, telehealth)
Collaborate remotely with client teams (dev, ops, security, compliance) while providing clear, concise updates on status, risks, and recommendations — no hand-holding required
Proactively identify improvement opportunities (cost, performance, security) and drive implementation with minimal oversight
Maintain detailed documentation, runbooks, and post-incident reviews to support knowledge transfer and audit readiness
Requirements:
7+ years in cloud engineering
4+ years hands-on in Azure cloud-native environments (AKS, serverless, PaaS-heavy)
3+ years supporting production healthcare or highly regulated environments (HIPAA-eligible workloads, PHI handling)
Proven track record of independently triaging and resolving complex, time-sensitive issues in distributed systems
Expert in Azure services for cloud-native: AKS (Kubernetes), Azure Functions, Container Apps, Event Grid/Service Bus, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, API Management
