Ranjit Avenue in Amritsar is where you'd be working if you take this Azure Cloud Engineer role. Full-time, on-site, INR 104,000 a month.
What you'll be doing
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps to get code from commit to production reliably
- Automate infrastructure provisioning with ARM templates instead of clicking through the Azure portal by hand
- Troubleshoot issues across both development and production environments, often under time pressure when something's actually broken
- Manage and support Linux or Windows Server instances running in Azure
Here's a real example from a recent sprint: a deployment pipeline started failing overnight with no obvious error, and it turned out a service principal used for authentication had quietly expired without anyone renewing it in time. Fixing it meant rotating the credentials and adding an alert so the same thing wouldn't sneak up again. That's a fairly typical Tuesday in this role.
Qualifications and experience
A bachelor's degree is required to apply. What the hiring team actually digs into during interviews is hands-on comfort with Azure, containerization, and automated deployment pipelines, so come ready to talk through real work rather than lean on the degree alone. Two years of relevant experience is the baseline for this position.
Skills required
Knowledge of Microsoft Azure is non-negotiable, along with practical experience in Azure DevOps and ARM templates. You'll also need to be comfortable managing either Linux or Windows Server instances, since production environments here run a mix of both.
A few things would strengthen an application without being required:
- Terraform experience for infrastructure-as-code beyond ARM templates
- Kubernetes or AKS knowledge for containerized workloads
- An Azure certification such as AZ-104 or AZ-400
- Scripting ability in PowerShell or Bash for automating repetitive operational tasks
Compensation and benefits
Base pay is INR 104,000 per month. This role, posted through Naukri Mitra, includes health insurance, paid time off, and provident fund contributions as standard. Since the position is on-site in Amritsar, relocation assistance and accommodation support are also available for anyone moving in from another city.
Working on this team
Deployments happen frequently here, so you'll see the direct results of your pipeline work within days rather than waiting months for feedback. Production incidents don't respect business hours, and you'll get pulled into the occasional after-hours fix when something critical breaks. Engineers on the team say that pace is offset by real ownership over the infrastructure they build, rather than just executing tickets someone else designed.
How to apply
Send a resume that lays out specific Azure projects you've worked on, including the scale of the environment and your role in setting up the pipeline or infrastructure. Mention any ARM templates or Terraform modules you've written from scratch, since that tells the hiring team more than a general list of Azure services you've touched. Shortlisted candidates go through a technical interview focused on real deployment and troubleshooting scenarios.
