Junior Cloud Engineer

Junior Cloud Engineer

IPercept is looking for a hands-on and motivated Junior Cloud Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have practical experience with Microsoft Azure, infrastructure as code, and modern delivery tooling, and will take operational ownership of our cloud environment — keeping it healthy, cost-efficient and secure. Seniority is flexible: we value reliable execution across the stack and a willingness to learn over a fixed number of years.

What you will do

Cloud operations and infrastructure

• Cost optimization: analyse and optimize the cost of the cloud architecture on an ongoing basis
• Environment management: make structural improvements to cleanly manage multiple environments — test, production, and dedicated customer environments
• Infrastructure as code: build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform
• Maintenance: carry out regular maintenance activities, including software updates and resource upgrades
• Technical debt reduction: modernize the infrastructure, making use of the latest and most suitable Azure services

Development environment and delivery

• Developer experience: improve the development environment so the team can prototype quickly and productionize just as fast
• CI/CD: develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines
• Observability: build and maintain the observability stack (e.g. Grafana) for monitoring, metrics, and alerting

Security and device management

• DevSecOps and networking: apply DevSecOps practices and manage cloud networking and security controls, including firewall and WAF
• Device management: manage MDM through Microsoft Intune — device settings and central application deployment

Who you are

We are looking for someone with a keen interest, knowledge, and experience in the following areas:

• A cloud or platform engineer who can take operational ownership of the day-to-day under the direction of engineering leadership, and grow into a full cloud architecture role over time
• Eager to learn and grow — able to take direction on strategy and big-picture decisions while owning execution reliably

Must-haves

• Microsoft Azure, hands-on
• Terraform and infrastructure as code
• Containers — Docker and Kubernetes
• CI/CD pipelines
• Observability stack such as Grafana
• Cloud networking and security fundamentals (firewall, WAF) and DevSecOps practices

Nice to haves

• Endpoint management with Microsoft Intune
• Experience managing separate test, production, and dedicated customer environments
• Knowledge of industrial or production machinery — if you don't know much about CNC machines, we will teach you!

What's in it for you?

• Competitive salary and an attractive early-stage option package with tax benefits, where we invest and empower you to become a key person in our joint future — we want our success to be your success!
• Being a young company it's all about the people — we're a bunch of passionate and driven people with whom you will have a great time.
• Psychological safety and internal trust — flexible working hours, high expectations combined with a humane approach to work/life balance.
• Flat organization — we hire you because we believe in you. So challenge what we take for granted, express yourself and wear what you always dreamed of wearing to work, have fun, participate and make this the company you always dreamed of working for.
