Senior Azure Cloud Engineer

We're hiring a Senior Azure Cloud Engineer to own and mature the Azure platform at a high-growth specialty pharmacy in the Dallas area. You will join as a full-time W2 ETG employee, embedded with the client's IT team and reporting into their VP of IT.

This is a net-new role with no incumbent and no managed service provider in place. The Azure estate has grown organically, without a formal landing zone, consistent governance, or infrastructure-as-code. You will be the person who brings order to it: designing the landing zone, setting governance and security standards, and putting repeatable, version-controlled provisioning in place.

The environment supports a business operating across six sites and roughly 1,000 users, and it needs to scale cleanly as the company grows.

Position Details

• Hybrid: 3-days onsite in Dallas, TX, 2-days remote
• Salary range: $155,000 to $175,000, depending on experience
• Full-time W2 with full benefits
• On-call required
• Minimal travel, under two weeks per year
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
• W2 only, no corp-to-corp

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end Azure architecture, including landing zone design, management group and subscription structure, and platform standards
• Design scalable, secure, and resilient cloud solutions for a multi-site organization
• Build cloud reference architectures, standards, diagrams, and documentation from the ground up
• Own the health, reliability, and performance of the platform across compute, storage, and Azure PaaS
• Serve as the primary escalation point for cloud incidents and issues
• Build and maintain infrastructure as code with Terraform or Bicep, and establish CI/CD pipelines
• Design and manage identity and access through Entra ID, including RBAC, conditional access, and privileged access
• Implement security controls and guardrails, including Azure Policy and baseline configurations
• Establish cost visibility and governance, and right-size spend across the estate
• Partner with the network and infrastructure teams on hybrid connectivity, and advise IT leadership on cloud decisions and tradeoffs

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years in cloud engineering and network architecture roles, with deep, recent Azure focus
• Azure architecture and landing zone design, including management groups, subscriptions, and governance
• Production infrastructure as code with Terraform or Bicep
• Azure security and identity with Entra ID, including RBAC, conditional access, and Azure Policy
• A track record of designing, building, and operating cloud environments end-to-end
• Ownership of both strategy and execution
• Strong troubleshooting skills in complex cloud and hybrid environments

Nice To Have

• Experience in HIPAA, HITRUST, or comparable regulated, compliance-driven environments
• Container platforms and orchestration, including AKS and Kubernetes
• CI/CD tooling such as Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
• Cloud cost management and FinOps practices
• Depth in Azure data and PaaS services
• Azure certifications such as Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305), Administrator, or DevOps Engineer Expert
