Contractor Principal DevOps / Cloud Engineer (Azure Migration)

Principal DevOps / Cloud Engineer (Azure Migration) · LATAM

We're partnering with a leading US-based company on a major cloud transformation initiative. This is an opportunity to take technical ownership of building a secure, scalable Azure environment from the ground up, helping to shape critical infrastructure decisions from day one.

You'll join a small team of senior and principal-level engineers focused on designing and implementing a greenfield Azure setup that complements an existing AWS-based data platform and application architecture.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Analyze an existing AWS lakehouse and application stack to map out Azure equivalents
• Make key early decisions around Azure services for data, compute, networking, and security
• Design and build the Azure landing zone, including core infrastructure components
• Lead initial hands-on implementation (this role requires deep technical involvement, not just architecture)
• Drive best practices for cost efficiency, scalability, and compliance
• Collaborate with engineering and data teams to ensure smooth integration between platforms
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior team members as the project scales

What You Bring

• 7+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Infrastructure roles
• Strong background with Azure architecture and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or Bicep preferred)
• Experience designing and building Azure landing zones and managing enterprise-grade cloud deployments
• Solid understanding of AWS services (to translate to Azure equivalents)
• Hands-on skills with CI/CD pipelines, automation, and scripting (e.g. Python, PowerShell, Bash)
• Familiarity with security best practices, identity/access models, and data governance in cloud environments
• Strong communication and leadership skills
• Fluent in English (B2+ level minimum)

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in cloud-to-cloud migrations (AWS to Azure or hybrid)
• Knowledge of modern data platforms (e.g. lakehouses, data lakes, Snowflake, Synapse, etc.)
• Certifications in Azure Architecture or DevOps
