Senior Azure Cloud Engineer

This position is an Senior Azure Cloud Engineer role within our client’s pre-production Mobility Labs group. The team is responsible for building and standardizing CI/CD pipelines that automate how Network Functions are deployed across multiple lab environments, with a future path to production deployments.

We are seeking a well-rounded professional who brings an equal balance of vendor management expertise (50%) and hands-on technical skills (50%). This role serves as a key bridge between external partners and internal technical teams, ensuring vendors deliver high-quality solutions while also contributing directly to technical execution and problem-solving
