Bright Vision Technologies is looking for an Azure Cloud Engineer to design, deploy, and operate large-scale, secure, and resilient cloud platforms on Microsoft Azure. This is a 100% remote (Continental United States), full-time direct W2 position as part of an in-house SOW engagement.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement enterprise-grade Azure architectures across compute, networking, storage, identity, and data services with focus on scalability, security, and cost.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates, applying software-engineering rigor (version control, peer review).
• Configure and manage Azure landing zones and core networking (VNETs, subnets, route tables, NSGs) to enforce segmentation and least-privilege access.
• Implement secure identity and governance using Azure Active Directory, Conditional Access, RBAC, and Azure Policy.
• Architect and operate AKS clusters, including node pool design, autoscaling, network policies, and integrations (e.g., with operational/observability tooling).
• Own the end-to-end cloud engineering lifecycle, including automation, security hardening, cost optimization, observability, and production operations.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in cloud engineering on Microsoft Azure.
• Strong DevOps engineering practices and ability to partner with application development, security, and SRE teams.
• Demonstrated experience with IaC and secure, compliant cloud operations.
• Must be willing to work directly as a full-time W2 employee (no C2C/1099/third-party arrangements).
• A technical coding assessment is mandatory.

Nice to Have / Additional Notes

• Experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) operations and cluster networking.
