What We're Looking For VPL is looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to help operate and improve our Azure cloud environments and container-based application platform. This is a growth role for someone with strong technical fundamentals, curiosity, and a desire to develop deeper skills in cloud operations, automation, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code. What You'll Do Help operate and maintain VPL's production and non-production Azure environments. Monitor platform health, availability, performance, capacity, security, and cloud consumption. Support application builds, releases, and deployments using Azure DevOps and GitOps workflows. Perform routine administration and troubleshooting across Azure services, containers, Kubernetes, networking, storage, identity, and platform dependencies. Make controlled infrastructure and configuration changes using infrastructure-as-code and version-controlled processes. Perform scheduled maintenance, patching, upgrades, certificate rotation, vulnerability remediation, and resource lifecycle activities. Partner with Development, QA, Architecture, and SRE to resolve environment issues and improve operational reliability. Maintain runbooks and operational documentation and participate in the on-call rotation after completing onboarding. What You'll Bring Approximately 1-3 years of experience in DevOps, cloud operations, systems administration, application support, software engineering, or a related technical role.
