Overview
This is a full-time remote opportunity. We are seeking a high-caliber Technical Lead Developer to spearhead our hybrid infrastructure and DevOps strategy. This role is designed for a technical authority who excels at bridging the gap between traditional system administration and modern cloud automation.

The ideal candidate brings "bilingual" expertise in both Windows and Linux environments, with a primary focus on managing and automating complex Virtual Machine (VM) ecosystems within Azure. You will lead the transition from manual operations to fully automated, codified infrastructure by leveraging exceptional scripting abilities in Python, PowerShell, and Bash.

Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Strategy

Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of highly available, scalable, and secure infrastructure, focusing on Windows and Linux VM ecosystems.
Define and enforce best practices for DevOps, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and configuration management.
Mentor and guide development and operations teams on DevOps principles and cross-platform tools.

VM Operations & Cloud Infrastructure

Manage and maintain complex Azure environments, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
Perform advanced system administration for Windows (Server OS, IIS, Active Directory) and Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS/RHEL).
Utilize command line utilities for deep system diagnostics, configuration, and automation within VM instances.
Design and build end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitLab.

Automation & Scripting

Develop and enhance extensive automation scripts using Python, PowerShell, and Bash to manage system configuration and deployments.
Drive the strategic transition from manual operations to a fully automated, codified infrastructure model.
Implement cybersecurity practices and manage security incidents within the virtualized environment.

Required Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering.
Experience: 10+ years of progressive experience in software development or infrastructure, with at least 5 years in a technical leadership capacity.
OS Expertise: Deep proficiency in Windows Management and Linux Administration.
Scripting: Exceptional experience with PowerShell, Bash, and Python.
Cloud: Hands-on expertise with Azure services (Compute, Networking, Storage).
DevOps: Strong background in GitLab CI/CD processes.
Bonus Skills: Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes or microservices architecture.
Proficiency with version control, specifically git.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, Agile development environment.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with team members and stakeholders.
Leadership experience, including mentoring junior developers and guiding technical decisions.

What We Offer

A challenging and rewarding role in a dynamic and international environment.
Opportunity to be part of a growing company with a strong commitment to innovation and excellence.
A supportive and collaborative team culture that values personal growth and development.
Competitive compensation and benefits package.

We are moving from manual operations to a fully codified infrastructure. If you had to automate a deployment that requires configuring an IIS web server on Windows and a microservices node on Ubuntu, how would you structure a single GitLab CI/CD pipeline to handle both? Which specific modules in PowerShell and Bash would you prioritize for state management?*

In our Azure environment, we encounter a performance bottleneck on a Linux VM that is interacting with a Windows-based Active Directory for authentication. Walk us through the command line utilities you would use on both OS sides to diagnose latency or configuration drift.*

As a Technical Lead, how do you enforce security best practices and patching schedules across a hybrid fleet of Windows and Linux VMs without increasing manual overhead? Specifically, how do you use Python or PowerShell to audit these environments for security violations?*

Describe a time you had to guide a development team through a transition from manual deployments to a CI/CD process. What was the biggest technical hurdle you faced in bridging the gap between 'code' and 'infrastructure,' and how did you mentor junior engineers to adopt these DevOps principles?*

Please provide a copy of your valid government-issued ID or passport for compliance verification. Please note that we cannot move forward with your application until these documents are received.*

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
