Senior Cloud Automation Developer

Lisboa, Portugal

About the Position

We are looking for a Senior Cloud Automation Developer to help build and improve secure, reusable Azure automation products for application teams. The role covers Terraform, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, APIs, software development, platform integration, automated testing, and operational readiness.

3 days per week on-site in Lisbon.

About the Role

The ideal profile has at least five years of experience in an international environment and can work across Azure, Terraform, backend services, REST APIs, and web or full-stack development. Experience with Java or Spring can be relevant, but a pure Java profile is not sufficient. Candidates should demonstrate a balanced combination of programming, cloud automation, CI/CD, and platform integration skills, with knowledge of security, monitoring, testing, and production operations.

About the Project

Cloud Services is advancing the platform through a new generation of cloud automation, self-service capabilities, and platform engineering products. The aim is to give application teams a secure, governed, and streamlined way to consume cloud services, while reducing operational complexity and accelerating delivery.

As part of the Platform Reliability and Public Cloud Services organization, the Cloud Automation Developer will help evolve the EasyCloud program. The role will contribute to the design and implementation of services that automate the provisioning, configuration, governance, and lifecycle management of Azure resources. By applying modern platform engineering practices, EasyCloud supports broader cloud adoption, improved operational efficiency, and secure, governed access to cloud capabilities.

Main Responsibilities

The objective is to deliver and continuously improve secure, reusable cloud automation products that make it easier for application teams to provision, configure, and operate cloud resources and services. Deliverables should combine infrastructure automation with full-stack software capabilities and be production-ready, maintainable, tested, observable, and aligned with Saint-Gobain security and governance requirements.

• Reusable Infrastructure as Code modules, templates, and workflows for provisioning and lifecycle management of Azure resources and shared cloud services.
• Full-stack self-service applications and supporting APIs that simplify cloud consumption and recurring operational tasks, integrating with relevant cloud, identity, GitHub, and ServiceNow services.
• Automated CI/CD workflows to build, validate, package, and deploy infrastructure and application changes consistently across environments.
• Automated functional, regression, and deployment tests for software, APIs, infrastructure modules, and deployed cloud services.
• Security and governance capabilities integrated into delivery patterns, including identity and access management, policy enforcement, secrets handling, and auditability.
• Operational readiness built into delivered solutions, including monitoring, logging, alerting, documentation, and support or handover materials.
• Technical designs and implementation guidance that promote reuse, maintainability, and adoption by platform and application teams.
• Recommendations and implemented improvements that reduce manual effort, operational complexity, and time required to deliver cloud capabilities.
• Provide operational support for data processing and analytics services automations, and continuously evolve them to improve reliability, performance, security, and alignment with business needs.

Requirements

• Microsoft Azure and public-cloud architecture: Designs and delivers secure, governed Azure solutions across cloud services and workloads.
• Data processing and analytics services: Understands and supports data ingestion and processing with Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse, Azure Data Explorer, Stream Analytics, Event Hubs, Event Grid, and IoT Hub. Works with data storage and databases including Storage Accounts (Data Lake Storage Gen2, Files, Queues, and Tables), Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL Flexible Server, and SQL Server. Familiarity with supporting AI and application services is also relevant, including Azure Machine Learning, Cognitive Services, AI Foundry with Bing Search grounding, AKS, API Management, App Service, Logic Apps, Application Insights, and Log Analytics.
• Infrastructure as Code and cloud automation (Terraform): Builds reusable modules and automation for repeatable provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management.
• CI/CD and DevOps workflows (GitHub Actions or equivalent): Designs reliable pipelines for validating and deploying infrastructure and software across environments.
• Full-stack software development (Java/Spring, REST APIs, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Angular, or Vue): Delivers and supports maintainable backend services and frontend applications.
• Cloud security, identity, and governance: Applies access controls, policy, secrets management, and audit requirements in cloud solutions.
• API and platform integration (Azure, GitHub, ServiceNow, identity services): Integrates services securely and builds dependable automation across platform boundaries.
• Automated testing and quality engineering: Creates functional, regression, and deployment tests for applications, APIs, infrastructure, and cloud services.
• Scripting and operational automation (PowerShell or equivalent): Automates recurring operational tasks and integrates cloud services through scripts and APIs.
• Monitoring and production operations: Builds observability into services and supports reliable production operation and lifecycle management.
• Containers and Kubernetes (AKS): Understands deployment and operational fundamentals for containerized workloads.

We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Opportunity to work in a dynamic and innovative environment
• Professional growth and development opportunities
• Collaborative and inclusive work culture
