Azure Cloud Engineer

Project Details:

• Azure Software engineering position essential for new capability they are developing (Serving layer)
  • Layer they are creating for internal consumers to come into the analytics space and get insights out using machine learning this will be able to orchestrate with the machine learning models and delivery back to the consumers what they are looking for
  • Basically, it is the middle-man for getting the data they have to the right people- will be where they can scale up the access of new ML to consumers and deliver data back to them
• Example: Trucks are continuously sending data into the cloud that they are consuming and transforming and then they are creating it into machine learning models example: what will happen to the engine based on what has happened in past etc. spit out to business how long they can go etc.
• They currently have a 1.0 version of this already but looking to essentially build this from the ground up again to be more scalable and focus in the newest technologies

Day to Day Responsibilities/typical day look like:

• Building APIs (REST and Graph QL) and back-end layer of application using JavaScript (Node/Express) essentially building the bridge to connect the data to internal stakeholders
• Will also be doing some data querying (NoSQL Cosmos DB) as well as a bit of SQL (moving away from that side however)
• Basic design & documentation work
• Working in a team environment need to be collaborative as well as self-starter and have good communication
• Right now, not focused on a presentation layer so that will not be in expected scope of work.

What are the top must-have technologies/required experience for the position (Try to hone-in to a top 2-3)?

• APIs (Rest & Graph QL)
  • Currently in REST but not as scalable as they need so moving to Graph QL and want to see that experience
• Node OR Express (both preferred)
  • Back-end JavaScript/Typescript
• Azure (Apps side Azure App Services & Azure Functions, not using Azure DevOps currently)
• NoSQL (Cosmos DB)
• Git (using Gitlab)

Nice to haves/Preferred Skills:

• Azure SQL (moving mainly away from but have a bit of work there)
• Jenkins

Education or Certification Requirements: Azure certs (Azure Solutions architect, etc.) preferred but not required
