• Write Terraform Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for all infrastructure resources.
• Implement third-party tool integrations via APIs to ingest evidence artifacts.

Required Qualifications

Experience: 5+ years building production workloads on Azure, with demonstrated experience in event-driven and API-first architectures. Experience with immutable/append-only storage patterns is required.

Technical Skills:

• Strong experience with Azure API Management (APIM), including policies, backends, and versioning.
• Proficiency in deploying and managing NoSQL and CosmosDB databases.
• Solid Terraform skills, including modules, remote state, and CI/CD integration.
• Strong coding experience in Python and Node.
• Familiarity with envelope encryption patterns using Key Vault.
• Understanding of zero-trust network design (Private Endpoints, VNet integration, NSG/UDR).
• Ability to write KQL for operational queries, alerting, and audit log analysis.
• Experience integrating with third-party tool APIs.
• Hands-on proficiency with integrated testing tools.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills.
