Azure Cloud Engineer

New role: Freelance Azure Cloud Engineer (.NET background) Estimated: 4-months of work, 32-40 hours per week Clear SOW, occasional visits to Rotterdam I'm working with a product-led organisation that has just finalised the architecture for a new Azure-native platform, and they’re now looking for a senior engineer to take ownership of the implementation. The architecture includes: - Azure Container Apps (frontend + backend APIs) - Azure Service Bus (pub/sub with topics & subscriptions) - Azure Functions (validation, orchestration, event processing) - Azure SQL (config + reporting layer) - Azure Blob Storage - Azure Key Vault - Optional APIM + Front Door This is not a greenfield “what should we use?” design exercise. The direction is set. What they need is someone who can: - Build and wire this cleanly end-to-end - Implement secure, multi-tenant APIs in .NET - Design and configure Service Bus topics & subscriptions properly - Implement event-driven workflows with Functions - Structure SQL schemas sensibly - Handle identity, secrets and secure configuration - Deploy via Azure DevOps / IaC You should be comfortable owning implementation, but senior enough to challenge details if something isn’t practical. This is a hands-on role. Implementation phase is focused on build, with the opportunity to shape the platform longer-term. If you’ve built Azure-native, event-driven platforms using Container Apps + Service Bus + Functions, I’d be keen to speak. Drop me a message.
