Senior Cloud Automation Developer

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 Rule

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.

The role combines software, cloud, and platform engineering to deliver strategic products for teams across global enterprise. This includes reusable cloud services, APIs, portals, automation workflows, and deployment patterns that simplify infrastructure consumption for hundreds of application teams. Solutions will integrate Azure with platforms and services such as GitHub, ServiceNow, identity services, and Infrastructure as Code frameworks, with security, reliability, and compliance built in.

The position offers the opportunity to work with enterprise-scale Azure environments and contribute to cloud automation, software development, DevOps, and advanced platform engineering practices within a global Cloud Services organization. It must demonstrate knowledge and proficiency around the requested skills together with work experience (min 5 years) in an international company environment.

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.

The role requires working proficiency in Microsoft Azure and public-cloud architecture, Terraform and Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, cloud security and identity, platform and API integration, automated testing, scripting, and production operations. Advanced proficiency is expected in full-stack software development, spanning backend services and REST APIs as well as frontend applications built with JavaScript or TypeScript and frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.

• 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.
