· Automate deployment of application hosting services such as App Services, Azure Container Apps, AKS, Functions, and supporting resources.

· Integrate infrastructure provisioning with CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.

· Ensure infrastructure aligns with Azure security best practices, governance standards, and cost optimization principles.

· Support environment creation for development, testing, and production using parameterized and reusable IaC modules.

· Collaborate with application and AI engineers to ensure required Azure services are provisioned and integrated correctly.

· Troubleshoot deployment issues and continuously improve automation scripts and templates.

 Good-to-Have:

· Azure Solutions Architect or Azure DevOps Engineer certification

· Experience designing reusable IaC modules and shared infrastructure libraries

· Familiarity with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights

· Experience supporting multi-environment (dev/test/prod) Azure deployments

· Exposure to cloud cost management and optimization practices

· Prior experience working with cross-functional teams (UI, backend, AI/ML engineers)
