Sobre

• Ciklum is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our team in Brazil.

• We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational
• organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business
• challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers,
• consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines
• industries and shapes the way people live.

About the role

• We are looking for a talented Senior DevOps Engineer to support our engineering
• work, with a strong focus on the underlying infrastructure that we need to get
• from source code to production, plus keep it happy once it's there. We need
• someone who understands software development and enjoys working with developers
• on all the things necessary to improving, deploying, monitoring, and operating
• production services.

Responsibilities

• * Build complex, highly available, and cost-optimized cloud infrastructure
• solutions on Azure and in Kubernetes (AKS)
• * Design, build, and maintain production-grade AKS clusters, including private
• cluster networking, node pool sizing and autoscaling, workload identity,
• ingress, certificate management, and cluster upgrade lifecycle
• * Own infrastructure as code end to end in Terraform: author and refactor
• reusable modules, manage per-environment workspaces and state, and drive
• changes through pull request, plan review, and apply
• * Design and implement advanced CI/CD pipelines ensuring quality, security, and
• efficiency, including container image build/publish and progressive promotion
• from lower environments to production
• * Establish comprehensive monitoring and observability strategies across
• cluster, application, and Azure platform services
• * Proactively identify and mitigate risks, leading troubleshooting efforts for
• complex issues across compute, networking, identity, and data layers
• * Implement high-level security practices, integrating vulnerability scanning
• and threat modeling, and manage secrets through a centralized secrets store
• with identity-based (rather than credential-based) access
• * Maintain and exercise multi-region high availability and disaster recovery,
• including failover and failback procedures for Kubernetes workloads and
• managed databases
• * Work with application engineering to cultivate operational standards

Requirements

• We know that sometimes, you can't tick every box. We would still love to hear
• from you if you think you're a good fit!

• * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related
• field, or equivalent work experience
• * 5+ years of experience in a DevOps engineering role with significant Azure
• experience
• * Proven track record of designing and implementing large-scale Azure solutions
• * Hands-on experience running AKS in production, not just in development or
• proof-of-concept environments — including private clusters, cluster upgrades,
• autoscaling, and incident response on live workloads
• * Advanced, production-level Terraform experience: module design, state and
• workspace management, and multi-environment/multi-subscription deployments
• * Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems and architect robust
• solutions
• * Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• * Azure certifications (e.g., Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure DevOps
• Engineer Expert, Certified Kubernetes Administrator)

Desirable

• * Cloud: Deep knowledge of Azure services, architectures, and design patterns,
• including Entra ID, RBAC, managed identities and workload identity
• federation, Key Vault, and subscription/landing zone structure
• * Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Advanced skills in Terraform, or other IaC
• tools
• * CI/CD: Strong experience with pipeline-as-code (Azure Pipelines, GitHub
• Actions, or equivalent), service connections and federated pipeline
• authentication, and GitOps-style continuous delivery to Kubernetes (Argo CD,
• Flux, or similar)
• * Programming and Scripting: Strong scripting skills (PowerShell, Bash, Python)
• and proficiency with one or more programming languages (e.g., Go, C#/.NET,
• Node.js)
• * Containerization and Microservices: Extensive experience with Docker,
• Kubernetes (AKS), Helm, container registries, and microservices architectures
• * Complex Configuration Management: Expertise in configuration management tools
• (Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc.)
• * Robust Networking: In-depth knowledge of networking concepts, Azure virtual
• network and subnet design, private endpoints and private DNS zones, hybrid
• connectivity (site-to-site VPN, network virtual appliances/firewalls), and
• network security
• * Data and Messaging Services: Familiarity with Azure managed data services
• such as SQL Managed Instance (including failover groups), Cosmos DB,
• Redis/managed cache, Storage, and Functions
• * Observability: Experience with Azure Monitor/Log Analytics and KQL, plus at
• least one third-party observability platform (Datadog, Grafana, or similar)
• * Resilience: Experience designing and testing multi-region redundancy,
• RTO/RPO-driven DR runbooks, and failover automation
• * Security Focus: Strong understanding of cloud security principles,
• penetration testing, and compliance standards (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI
• DSS)
• * Multi-cloud: ScriptCycle's footprint spans both Azure and Google Cloud, with
• an active workload migration track. Exposure to GCP and GKE (including
• Autopilot) and to cross-cloud networking and identity is a strong plus,
• though Azure is the primary focus of this role; experience supporting a GCP
• migration
