Location- Santa Clara, CA/ Remote is also ok Engagement Summary
We are looking for a strong Terraform engineer to build and operationalize a Terraform-first Azure infrastructure platform . The work includes (but is not limited to) automated provisioning and lifecycle management of Azure services such as AKS , Storage Accounts , identity/access controls, networking, observability, security services, and data/analytics services including Microsoft Fabric . A key deliverable is to convert and rationalize existing IaC (significant Bicep footprint) into reusable, tested Terraform modules and pipelines. Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform-first on Azure)
- Design and implement Terraform modules for consistent, reusable provisioning of Azure infrastructure across environments (dev/test/prod).
- Build patterns for subscription/resource-group organization , naming standards, tagging, and environment overlays.
- Implement end-to-end automation : plan/apply workflows, validation, drift detection, and safe promotion between environments.
- Provision and manage AKS clusters via Terraform, including node pools, networking integration, add-ons, policies, and baseline security.
- Enable repeatable cluster bootstrapping (GitOps-ready patterns preferred).
- Create and manage Storage Accounts and related services (containers, encryption, networking rules, private endpoints, diagnostics).
- Implement RBAC/access management as code : role assignments, managed identities, service principals, group-based access, least-privilege patterns.
- Expectation: permissions are defined and tracked in Terraform to reduce configuration drift.
- Extend module library to cover diverse Azure services needed by platform/application/data teams (networking, security, compute, PaaS, monitoring, etc.).
- Collaborate with architects/engineering teams to turn platform requirements into scalable Terraform patterns.
- Automate provisioning and configuration of Microsoft Fabric workspaces and related constructs via Terraform where supported, including required identity/permission setup.
- We already have evidence of Fabric workspace deployment via Terraform pipelines and the need to configure permissions correctly for service principals.
- Assess existing Bicep IaC and lead a conversion strategy:
- Map Bicep modules to Terraform modules/providers
- Establish equivalency patterns and migration sequencing
- Handle importing existing resources into state where needed
- Minimize disruption and downtime during migration
- Improve standardization by consolidating duplicated patterns and creating a shared module registry.
- Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Terraform (linting, validation, unit tests, security scans, policy checks).
- Establish best practices for Terraform state management , locking, secrets handling, and safe refactors.
- Create developer enablement assets: examples, module docs, onboarding guidance.
Terraform Expertise
- 5+ years of hands-on Terraform (or equivalent depth), including:
- Module design (composable, versioned modules)
- Remote state design, state locking, workspaces/environments
- Imports, refactors (state mv), drift management, dependency control
- Strong experience with the AzureRM provider (and related providers where needed).
- Deep understanding of Azure fundamentals: subscriptions, management groups, resource groups, networking, identity, governance.
- Strong experience with Azure RBAC , managed identities, service principals, and group-based access models (Entra ID/AAD concepts).
- Proven experience deploying and operating AKS via automation: cluster lifecycle, networking, policies, add-ons, security baseline.
- Implements least privilege; codifies access controls; understands auditability/compliance expectations.
- Experience with secret management patterns (avoid committing secrets; integrate with vault systems; secure tfvars/state).
- CI/CD experience (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar) for Terraform workflows.
- Familiarity with trunk-based development, PR validation, and infrastructure testing patterns.
- Comfort with scripting (PowerShell/Python/Bash) to glue workflows and automate validations.
- Microsoft Fabric provisioning and automation experience (workspace deployment, permissions, integrations).
- Experience converting IaC between frameworks (ARM/Bicep → Terraform).
- Experience with policy-as-code (Azure Policy), OPA/Conftest, or Sentinel.
- Experience designing multi-tenant landing zones / enterprise-scale Azure architectures.
- Knowledge of GitOps tooling (Flux/Argo) and Kubernetes add-on management.
Within the engagement, the engineer will:
- Deliver a Terraform module library covering core platform patterns and commonly used Azure services.
- Stand up a production-grade Terraform CI/CD workflow (validate/plan/apply, approvals, drift checks).
- Implement standard access management as code (RBAC patterns, role assignment modules, least-privilege guardrails).
- Provide AKS and Storage automation reference implementations (as exemplars, not the only scope).
- Define and execute a Bicep→Terraform migration plan , including import/state strategy and phased rollout.
- Produce documentation: module usage guides, onboarding, and operational runbooks.
Screening / Vendor Evaluation Checklist (you can paste this into an RFP)
Ask vendors to provide:
- 2-3 examples of Terraform module repos they authored (sanitized is fine) demonstrating structure, testing, and versioning.
- A sample CI/CD pipeline for Terraform with policy checks and environment promotion.
- A short write-up on how they handle:
- Remote state + locking
- Secrets management
- Importing existing Azure resources into Terraform state
- RBAC/permissions as code patterns (group-based access, least privilege)
Optional but strong: examples of AKS and/or Microsoft Fabric automation work.
