Senior Azzure Cloud Engineer

Verplicht: Cv in het Engels
Aanvullende informatie
Wanneer u bij ons als leverancier een professional aanbiedt en deze wordt geplaatst, hebben we informatie van u als contractpartij nodig, onder andere met betrekking tot de Wet keten- en inlenersaansprakelijkheid.
De ‘WKA’ heeft als doel om misbruik te voorkomen bij de afdracht van loonheffingen bij alle schakels in de keten; van leverancier tot opdrachtgever.
Wij dekken deze risico’s voor onze opdrachtgevers af middels een geblokkeerde rekening, de G-rekening.
Dit is een rekening waarop een gedeelte van het factuurbedrag wordt gestort en waarvan u de loonheffingen en BTW kunt betalen aan de Belastingdienst.
Het af te storten % hangt ervan af of u een SNA-certificering (NEN-4400-1 of NEN-4400-2) heeft of niet en of uw bedrijf in Nederland of daarbuiten is gevestigd. De G-rekening kunt u aanvragen bij de Belastingdienst.
Indien u geen G-rekening kunt krijgen (en u kunt hier bewijs van de Belastingdienst van overleggen) dan heeft u ook de mogelijkheid elk kwartaal een accountantsverklaring (assurance report inzake inlening personeel) aan te leveren.
Hierin zal een gecertificeerd accountant (AA of RA) een verklaring afgeven over de juistheid, volledigheid en tijdigheid van de afdrachten. Let wel, de kosten voor deze verklaring komen voor uw eigen rekening.
Project Background
For a large-scale, business-critical IT transformation project at an international technology organization, we are looking for experienced Azure Cloud Engineers to support the cutover and hypercare phases.
The project involves complex Azure infrastructure and application environments where operational continuity, platform stability, and rapid incident resolution are essential.
During the cutover and hypercare periods, engineers will work alongside existing technical teams to monitor infrastructure, execute planned activities, and provide immediate technical assistance when incidents occur.
The assignment requires engineers who can work independently, take ownership of technical issues, and communicate effectively with customer stakeholders during live troubleshooting sessions.
Key Responsibilities
• Provide operational support for Azure infrastructure during critical cutover and hypercare activities.
• Troubleshoot and resolve incidents affecting Azure IaaS/PaaS services, infrastructure connectivity, and application availability.
• Participate in live customer incident calls, performing real-time technical analysis and resolution.
• Monitor infrastructure health, performance, availability, and security using Azure monitoring and logging solutions.
• Execute predefined cutover activities, technical changes, and operational recovery procedures.
• Investigate and resolve issues involving Azure Virtual Machines, storage, networking, and cloud services.
• Support infrastructure automation and configuration management using Infrastructure as Code.
• Collaborate closely with Oracle DBAs, application specialists, and other infrastructure teams.
• Escalate critical incidents when necessary and ensure clear technical handovers between shifts.
• Maintain operational documentation, incident records, and shift handover reports.
• Support service availability and recovery activities in accordance with agreed SLAs.
• Actively contribute to production stability throughout the hypercare period.
Required Skills & Experience
• Extensive hands-on experience managing and troubleshooting Microsoft Azure production environments.
• Strong knowledge of Azure IaaS/PaaS services, including Virtual Machines, Storage Accounts, networking, and application infrastructure.
• Experience with Azure networking, including VNets, routing, DNS, firewalls, load balancing, and connectivity troubleshooting.
• Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform.
• Experience with Azure DevOps, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation using PowerShell, Shell, Python, or YAML.
• Experience with Azure monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions.
• Understanding of Azure security, access management, and operational best practices.
• Experience troubleshooting complex infrastructure issues in business-critical production environments.
• Ability to work independently and make technical decisions under pressure.
• Strong communication skills and confidence participating directly in customer-facing technical incident calls.
• Experience working in structured incident, change, and escalation processes.
Preferred Experience
• SAP workloads hosted on Azure.
• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), containerized workloads, and related technologies.
• Azure Key Vault, Application Gateway, and Databricks.
• Experience supporting Oracle databases hosted on Azure infrastructure.
• Previous involvement in large-scale IT migrations, production cutovers, or hypercare assignments.
• Experience working in multinational enterprise environments.
Operational Requirements
• Availability for rotating 24/7 shifts, with emphasis on 16:00–00:00 and 00:00–08:00.
• Ability to provide onsite support in Veldhoven when assigned.
• Willingness to participate in active support, standby, and planned operational activities.
• Immediate availability to troubleshoot incidents during assigned active shifts or standby periods.
• Ability to collaborate with existing technical teams and follow defined escalation procedures.
• Valid and available Dutch Certificate of Conduct (VOG) required before onboarding.
• Professional English communication skills; Dutch is also acceptable.
• Ability to complete onboarding and access provisioning within a short timeframe.
Candidate Profile
We are looking for a technically confident, hands-on Azure Engineer with a strong troubleshooting mindset.
The ideal candidate is comfortable working in high-pressure production environments, can quickly identify and resolve technical problems, and takes ownership of incidents without requiring continuous supervision.
This is primarily an operational engineering and troubleshooting assignment, not an architecture or development role.
