Position Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Hybrid Cloud Engineer to design, build, and operate infrastructure that spans both Microsoft Azure and on-premises environments. This role is responsible for ensuring that our hybrid infrastructure is secure, scalable, resilient, and aligned with enterprise architecture standards. The Hybrid Cloud Engineer will work closely with DevOps, Architecture, Engineering, Networking/Systems and SecOps teams to support application modernization, automation, and cloud-native initiatives—while maintaining and optimizing the on-premises systems that remain a permanent and critical part of our technology landscape.

This position reports directly to the Director, IT Operations and plays a key role in advancing the company's hybrid cloud strategy.

Why This Role Matters:

Our technology landscape includes both modern cloud services and on-premises systems that will remain a permanent part of our infrastructure. This role is critical to bridging those worlds—ensuring seamless, secure, and scalable hybrid platforms that support the company's technology roadmap. You will have direct visibility and impact at the leadership level while working hands-on with engineering teams to shape how our hybrid infrastructure is designed, connected, and operated.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure within Microsoft Azure, leveraging IaaS, PaaS, and managed services alongside existing on-premises systems
• Architect and manage hybrid connectivity between Azure and on-premises data centers, including VPN, ExpressRoute, DNS, and network peering configurations
• Build and manage environments with a focus on reliability, performance, scalability, and cost optimization across both cloud and on-prem footprints
• Support application teams in migrating, modernizing, and operating workloads—determining appropriate placement across Azure and on-premises infrastructure based on technical and business requirements
• Support and optimize enterprise virtualization platforms (VMware / Hyper-V) and associated storage and networking

• Partner closely with DevOps teams to support CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, automation, and operational excellence across hybrid environments
• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code templates and automation scripts for provisioning, configuration management, and environment consistency

• Collaborate with Enterprise and Solution Architects to ensure cloud and hybrid solutions align with architectural standards, security requirements, and long-term strategy
• Work closely with SecOps to implement and enforce security best practices across hybrid infrastructure, including identity management, network segmentation, monitoring, and compliance

• Monitor hybrid environments, troubleshoot issues, and proactively identify opportunities for improvement across both Azure and on-premises systems
• Develop and maintain documentation, standards, and runbooks for hybrid cloud platforms and services
• Evaluate new Azure services, on-premises technologies, and hybrid integration patterns; provide recommendations based on business and technical needs
• Partner with infrastructure teams on capacity, lifecycle, and resiliency planning
• Partner with leadership on cloud and hybrid cost optimization, capacity planning, and placement decisions

Required Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (compute, networking, storage, identity, security, and monitoring)
• Experience independently owning and operating production-level hybrid cloud platforms in an enterprise environment
• Demonstrated experience with on-premises infrastructure including Windows Server, Active Directory, VMware or Hyper-V, and traditional networking (VLANs, firewalls, load balancers)
• Experience designing and supporting production hybrid cloud environments with connectivity between Azure and on-premises data centers
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., ARM, Bicep, Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent). Terraform and/or Bicep preferred; openness to other IaC tools acceptable
• Experience working closely with DevOps teams and CI/CD tooling in hybrid deployment scenarios
• Strong understanding of cloud and on-premises networking concepts, identity and access management (including hybrid identity with Azure AD / Entra ID), and security controls
• Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, architecture, and operations teams
• Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills

Preferred / Plus Qualifications

• Experience with additional cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP) is a plus
• Exposure to containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) in hybrid or on-premises deployments
• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability platforms spanning hybrid environments (e.g., Datadog, Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana)
• Azure certifications (e.g., Azure Administrator, Azure Solutions Architect, Azure Hybrid) are a plus
