Final round F2F

Skills : - Azure Infrastructure, Network Engineering, Terraform and Azure DevOps.

Job Description :

This role is a hands on Azure Infrastructure and Network Engineering position , responsible for designing, building, and troubleshooting cloud and hybrid networked platforms using Terraform and Azure DevOps.

The engineer is expected to think from first principles , explain why a design works , and independently diagnose and resolve network and infrastructure issues without relying solely on runbooks .

Key Responsibilities

Azure Infrastructure & Terraform Engineering :

Design, build, and own Azure infrastructure using Terraform as the primary IaC tool.

Create reusable Terraform modules from scratch , not just consume existing templates.

Explain and apply :

o Resource dependencies

o State management (remote state, locking, drift detection)

o Environment isolation strategies

Integrate Terraform with Azure DevOps YAML pipelines for controlled CI / CD deployments.

Perform root cause analysis for failed Terraform plans / applies and configuration drift.

Refactor manually created Azure resources into fully Terraform managed infrastructure .

Azure & Hybrid Network Engineering (Core Requirement) :

Act as the primary Network Engineering SME for Azure and hybrid environments.

Design and troubleshoot :

Azure VNETs, subnets, peering, and hub and spoke architectures

NSGs, ASGs, UDRs, route tables, and effective routes

Azure VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute connectivity

Azure Firewall, NVAs, load balancers (L4 / L7)

Demonstrate strong understanding of networking fundamentals, including :

TCP / IP, routing vs switching

DNS resolution flows

NAT, firewall rules, asymmetric routing

Latency, packet loss, and throughput issues

Enterprise Networking & Troubleshooting

Hands on experience with enterprise networking platforms :

o Cisco and Juniper (routing, switching, firewall fundamentals)

o EdgeConnect (SD WAN) or equivalent WAN solutions

Perform end to end troubleshooting across :

o Application layer

o OS / network stack

o Azure networking constructs

o On prem cloud connectivity

Handle L3 level escalations , not just ticket execution.

Engineering Operations & Change Ownership :

Own infrastructure and network changes during approved change windows.

Perform impact analysis and rollback planning , not just change execution.

Maintain engineering quality documentation , including :

o Network diagrams

o Terraform module documentation

o Runbooks written by the engineer, not just consumed

Contribute to standards, best practices, and continuous improvement.
