Senior DevOps Engineer (Azure Infrastructure & Platform) at Randstad Digital — NeverHard

We are hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to join a fast-growing, CDIC-insured, federally regulated Canadian digital bank undergoing an active technology transformation. Unlike typical DevOps positions focused solely on writing CI/CD pipelines, this is a true Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Engineering role . You will report directly to the Lead Cloud Engineer and take end-to-end ownership of how cloud infrastructure, secure network architecture, and containerized platforms are architected, provisioned, and scaled across Azure (primary) and AWS. If you are a hands-on engineer who thrives in high-ownership environments, understands deep Azure networking (beyond basic Terraform modules), and wants your work to carry real regulatory weight, this is the role for you. Why Join This Team? Real Scope & Ownership: Work in a tight-knit, high-impact engineering team in Downtown Toronto where your voice matters—no silos or rigid bureaucracy. Active Tech Transformation: Build brand-new digital banking and lending infrastructure from the ground up, not just maintaining legacy systems. High Career Value: Gain deep, portable experience in a heavily regulated banking environment with continuous investment in modern cloud tooling. Core Responsibilities Cloud Infrastructure via IaC: Provision and manage scalable production environments in Azure (and secondary AWS workloads) using modular Terraform as your primary tool. End-to-End Azure Network Architecture: Design and optimize secure Hub-and-Spoke VNets, subnets, NSGs, Azure Firewalls, Application Gateways (WAF), Front Door, Private Endpoints, and Private Link. Containerization & Orchestration: Package microservices with Docker and manage container workloads on Kubernetes (AKS) . SDLC & DevSecOps Integration: Embed security and compliance controls across the entire software development lifecycle, integrating code scanning ( Snyk , SonarQube ), artifact management ( Nexus ), and secrets rotation ( Vault ). Automated Pipelines: Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps. Proactive Monitoring & Incident Response: Implement robust logging, alerting, and telemetry using Azure Monitor and CloudWatch to maintain 99.9%+ platform availability. What We Are Looking For 7+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Cloud Platform, or Infrastructure Engineering (flexible down to 5–6 years for exceptional Azure depth). Deep Azure Networking Expertise: Proven track record designing hub-and-spoke networks, firewall placement, routing tables, and Private Link security controls. Strong Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Production experience writing, structuring, and managing state in Terraform . Containerization & Kubernetes: Solid hands-on experience with Docker and managed Kubernetes ( AKS ). Scripting Proficiency: Advanced scripting abilities in Bash , PowerShell , or Python . Regulated Environment Experience: Familiarity with financial compliance, OSFI, PCI-DSS, or zero-trust security frameworks. Collaborative Mindset: A vocal engineer who participates actively in architectural discussions, challenges technical proposals constructively, and thrives in daily standups. Nice-to-Haves Certifications: Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, HashiCorp Terraform Associate, or CKA/CKAD. Secondary exposure to AWS infrastructure or database migrations. Hands‑on experience with Zero Trust / SASE network architectures or Okta integrations. Work Model & Location: h ybrid schedule - 3 days on-site in Downtown Toronto (Thursday mandatory, remaining 2 days flexible) / 2 days remote Role Type: Permanent, Full-Time Compensation: Up to $120,000 – $130,000 CAD Base #J-18808-Ljbffr
