Senior Azure Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (Healthcare AI Platform)

Overview

We're looking for a Senior Azure Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and operate a highly resilient, secure, and cost-efficient cloud platform supporting advanced AI workloads in a healthcare environment.

This role is responsible for mission-critical infrastructure powering our proprietary foundational AI model, including GPU-based compute, while meeting strict requirements for compliance, data protection, and high availability. You will play a key role in ensuring our systems are fault-tolerant, auditable, and continuously optimized for both performance and cost.

What You'll Do

• Architect and manage highly available, fault-tolerant systems on Microsoft Azure with multi-region redundancy and disaster recovery
• Design infrastructure with strict adherence to healthcare compliance standards (e.g., HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2)

• Provision and optimize GPU-based environments for AI/ML workloads, including large-scale model training and inference

• Build secure, zero-trust architectures (private networking, encryption, identity isolation, least privilege access)

• Implement backup, failover, and business continuity strategies with clearly defined RTO/RPO targets

• Continuously reduce infrastructure costs through intelligent scaling, reserved capacity, spot instances, and workload optimization

• Develop Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM) for repeatable, auditable deployments

• Partner with AI/ML teams to productionize and scale foundational models reliably

• Establish observability across systems (logging, monitoring, alerting) with proactive incident response

• Conduct architecture reviews, risk assessments, and security audits

Required Experience

• 5–8+ years of hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure

• Proven experience designing high-availability and disaster recovery systems in regulated environments

• Strong background in healthcare or other compliance-heavy industries

• Deep expertise in:

-

• Azure Virtual Machines, VM Scale Sets, and GPU compute

-

• Azure networking (VNets, Private Link, ExpressRoute, firewalls)

-

• Storage solutions (Blob, Files, managed disks with redundancy options)

• Experience implementing compliance frameworks such as HIPAA or SOC 2

• Strong knowledge of identity and access control (RBAC, Azure AD, managed identities)
