Summary
Status: Full-Time, Direct Hire, Hybrid - (TBD)
Due to U.S. government contract requirements, this position is limited to U.S. citizens. All candidates must be able to provide documentation verifying U.S. citizenship prior to employment.
We are looking for a pragmatically-minded Azure Platform Engineer who bridges the gap between traditional systems administration and modern cloud architecture. This is an "operations-first" role for someone who has climbed the ladder from SysAdmin to DevOps and understands that infrastructure is only as good as its reliability. You will be a key member of a tight-knit team, responsible for designing, automating, and maintaining a 100% Azure environment.
Your Core Responsibilities
Azure Ownership: Act as the primary steward of our Azure cloud footprint, overseeing everything from initial design and implementation to day-to-day operational health.
Deployment Excellence: Build and refine high-performance CI/CD pipelines via GitHub to ensure software delivery is seamless, repeatable, and secure.
Infrastructure as Code: Utilize Terraform to manage and scale environment resources, focusing on maintenance and iterative improvements to existing codebases.
Pragmatic Automation: Identify manual bottlenecks and eliminate them through scripting (PowerShell, Python, or Azure CLI) without over-engineering the solution.
Operational Integrity: Manage change control processes with discipline, ensuring all system modifications are documented, compliant, and safe.
Collaborative Troubleshooting: Partner with developers to diagnose complex production issues, focusing on root-cause analysis rather than quick fixes.
Modernization: Maintain and support containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes while exploring emerging tools like Microsoft Fabric.
Technical Requirements
Deep Azure Expertise: Extensive experience managing a production Azure environment, including App Services, Functions, SQL Database, Cosmos DB, and API integrations.
Cloud Networking & Security: Solid grasp of VNets, Firewalls, NSGs, and Identity/Access management.
Pipeline Mastery: Proven track record with GitHub Actions or similar tools for automated deployments and environment promotion.
Systems Background: A foundational understanding of Windows and Linux VM administration.
IaC Proficiency: Practical experience contributing to Terraform projects.
Agile Mindset: Comfortable working within Scrum/Agile frameworks in an independent yet highly communicative manner.
Preferred Qualifications
Active Azure Certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or Administrator).
Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric.
A "troubleshooting-first" mindset developed through a career progression from IT Support/SysAdmin to Cloud Engineering.

StaffRight was crafted out of an industry need to better manage the processes and complexities of today’s recruitment and staffing demands. With company beginnings formulated in the industry over 30 years ago, our founder realized that there was a definitive need to utilize recruitment and staffing more efficiently and effectively than what has been the typical industry standard model. StaffRight is dedicated to servicing our clients with a comprehensive, scientific approach of refining the process throughout our clients' engagements.
Understanding and committing to our employees is critical to the growth and sustainability of StaffRight. We are of the opinion that regardless of their expertise, a successful company needs great people. The success of an employee is realized in a variety of different ways, but for us, we go well beyond one's credentials and interview. Finding the best employees who possess the needed skills, experience, and education are certainly key in a hire, but to truly find great employees who feel they are an integral part of the company, it takes tremendous insight in understanding what makes someone successful. Passion for one’s work, commitment to excellence, and having a ‘get it done’ attitude are essential for a great employee. Having these qualities also goes a long way in ensuring that an employee always has the client's best interests in mind. Great employees are passionate about their work and the company where they hang their jacket. Additionally, we believe that having refined and solid communication skills is also paramount in enabling all employees to work together towards the common goals and successes of the company. This collaboration is very much based on our employees' ability to listen to others and respond effectively, both internally with each other, and externally to our clients.
