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. 

• Foundational knowledge of Microsoft Azure, including compute, networking, storage, identity, monitoring, or security. 

• Experience with Git and exposure to automated build or deployment pipelines. 

• Basic understanding of containers, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code concepts. 

• Experience scripting or automating tasks with PowerShell, Bash, Python, or a similar language. 

• Linux and Windows troubleshooting skills and an understanding of networking and security fundamentals. 

• Strong learning agility, attention to detail, communication skills, and a disciplined approach to production changes. 

• Exposure to Azure DevOps, Kubernetes, Terraform, relational databases, messaging platforms, or SaaS production environments is helpful but not required. 

How You’ll Grow 

• Learn VPL’s existing Azure environment and the operational practices required to support it reliably. 

• Develop hands-on proficiency with Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, observability, cloud networking, and modern platform operations. 

• Progress from performing documented operational tasks to independently resolving common issues and improving automation. 

• Build a career path toward advanced DevOps, platform engineering, cloud engineering, or site reliability engineering responsibilities. 

Technology Environment 

• Microsoft Azure 

• Azure DevOps and Git 

• Kubernetes and Linux containers 

• Infrastructure as code and GitOps 

• Cloud networking, identity, monitoring, databases, and messaging 

• .NET and Angular applications 

What’s In It For You 

• Develop practical cloud, automation, Kubernetes, and platform operations skills. 

• Learn from experienced Architecture, SRE, and Engineering team members. 

• Gain meaningful production experience with a path toward greater technical ownership.
