Senior Cloud Engineer – DevOps

At 3Shape, we use cloud platforms to deliver secure, reliable services to both internal teams and external customers. Microsoft Azure is our primary cloud provider, and we are scaling our footprint across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS to support critical product experiences.

We are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer (DevOps/SRE & Cloud) to join the 3Shape Account team. The primary focus of the role is DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE): building, automating, securing, and operating the Azure-based platform capabilities used by the majority of 3Shape's customer-facing products.

The team owns authentication and authorization, as well as enterprise user management. Because these capabilities are foundational, we focus strongly on reliability, operability, deployment safety, observability, and secure-by-default engineering. We build cloud solutions in Azure using RESTful APIs and event-driven microservices, and we also develop web front ends for customer-facing interactions.

This is first and foremost a DevOps/SRE role with a strong software-engineering mindset. You will drive improvements across CI/CD, AKS/Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, observability, incident readiness, automation, and platform stability. You will help ensure that the Account platform is reliable, maintainable, and ready for production at scale.

A significant part of the responsibility is maintaining, improving, and extending the team's Infrastructure as Code. We use Pulumi written in C#/.NET to describe and manage Azure infrastructure, which means infrastructure changes are treated as software: reviewed, tested, version-controlled, and continuously improved together with the application code.

Backend engineering is an important secondary part of the role. You may already be comfortable designing and implementing C#/.NET backend services, or you may be a strong DevOps/SRE engineer who wants to evolve further into backend engineering. In either case, you should be willing to contribute to backend services in the Account domain over time, including implementation, testing, code reviews, and deployment readiness.

The role therefore requires strong DevOps/SRE experience, practical cloud-infrastructure ownership, and an interest in applying software engineering discipline to both infrastructure and application code.

You will collaborate with platform and product teams across 3Shape to align on Azure standards and best practices, especially around Pulumi-based Infrastructure as Code, observability, deployment readiness, incident handling, and operational stability.

You are a reliability-focused engineer who values pragmatic automation, continuous improvement, and collaboration. You thrive in agile teams and take ownership from infrastructure quality and deployment pipelines to operational outcomes in production, while also building or growing your backend engineering capability.

If this sounds like a great match for your experience and interests, we'd love to hear from you. Please apply with your CV and a short motivation.

Skills & Requirements

• 7+ years of professional engineering experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps/SRE, platform engineering, or backend/cloud software development.

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on DevOps/SRE experience, ideally in a role combining cloud infrastructure, automation, operational responsibility, and software engineering practices.

• Strong understanding of Azure infrastructure concepts, including networking, compute, storage, identity, databases, and managed services.

• Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code; experience with Pulumi is a strong advantage.

• Comfortable working with infrastructure code written in C#/.NET, or motivated to apply strong software engineering skills to Infrastructure as Code.

• Experience with CI/CD, deployment automation, release safety, monitoring/observability, alerting, and incident handling in production environments.

• Experience with containerized workloads and Kubernetes, for example Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

• Backend engineering experience in C#/.NET is an advantage, especially RESTful APIs, event-driven services, automated testing, code reviews, performance, security, and maintainability.

• If backend engineering is not already your strongest area, you should have a clear motivation and aptitude to grow into contributing backend features and services over time.

• A strong ownership mindset: automation-first, reliability-focused, and comfortable improving both infrastructure code and application code.

• We encourage all relevant applicants to apply. We are committed to celebrating human diversity, and we trust that the best way to reach outstanding business results, is by welcoming diverse people into our community.
