Position Overview
We are looking for a seasoned, independent DevOps Engineer to lead the infrastructure migration of our core platform from AWS to Microsoft Azure. This is a fast-paced, up to 6-month contract. You will have full ownership of the migration strategy, automation setup, and final handoff. We need someone who has executed cloud-to-cloud migrations before, understands the typical architectural pitfalls, and can jump straight into the project without needing a ramp-up period. Our goal is a secure, stable, scalable, and cost-efficient Azure environment built to modern engineering standards.
