Platform Engineer (Azure)

At Numerator, we believe tomorrow’s success starts with today’s market intelligence. We empower the world’s leading brands and retailers with unmatched insights into consumer behavior and the influencers that drive it.

We are seeking an experienced (5+ years) Platform Engineer to join our Azure Platform team. You will operate the shared Azure platform that our engineering teams and business units run their workloads on: infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and platform standards. The goal is a platform teams can consume without friction, and our measure of success is that it works in production, not that it looks good in a diagram.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, and operate Azure platform infrastructure, defined end to end in Terraform.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub for both platform and application teams.
• Enforce platform standards: naming, tagging, module structure, and Azure Policy.
• Build observability into the platform with Azure Monitor: logging, metrics, and actionable alerting.
• Support engineering teams consuming the platform: unblock them, review their infrastructure changes, and turn recurring requests into self-service.
• Drive cost awareness: monitor Azure spend, flag waste, and right-size resources.
• Troubleshoot platform issues across compute, networking, storage, and identity, and drive them to root cause.
• Document platform capabilities and standards so teams can self-serve.

• 5+ years of experience in platform, DevOps, or cloud engineering, with strong depth in Azure core services (compute, storage, networking, identity/Entra ID).
• Proven experience managing infrastructure as code with Terraform: modules, state management, and code review discipline.
• Demonstrable knowledge of Azure DevOps and GitHub, including CI/CD pipelines and release practices.
• Good scripting skills in either Bash or PowerShell.
• Knowledge of Azure governance: Azure Policy, RBAC, management groups, and tagging strategies.
• Experience building monitoring and alerting with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.
• Ability to work autonomously, own problems end to end and communicate clearly with distributed teams.
• Experience working on enterprise-scale projects with distributed teams.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Microsoft certifications related to Azure (e.g., AZ-104 Azure Administrator Associate, AZ-400 DevOps Engineer Expert).
