Remote Senior Cybersecurity Network Engineer

About Blueprint Blueprint is a technology solutions firm headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, with teams across the United States. We help organizations turn complex challenges into meaningful outcomes by connecting strategy and execution across AI, cloud, data, product development, and emerging technology. Our culture is built by people who care deeply about doing exceptional work. Blueprint is hiring a Senior Terraform Infrastructure Engineer to help modernize a business-critical application currently running on Azure Kubernetes Service and virtual machines. The project will move suitable APIs, web applications, background workers, and databases to Azure Container Apps and Azure SQL, introducing a more efficient serverless architecture with capabilities such as event-driven scaling and scale-to-zero. You’ll take ownership of the infrastructure that makes this migration possible, translating the target architecture into secure, reusable Terraform and helping guide key platform decisions along the way. This includes evaluating complex AKS and VM workloads, identifying what can be modernized, and determining what should remain on its current platform because of networking, storage, operating system, or Kubernetes-specific dependencies. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, security, data, and operations teams throughout assessment, design, testing, cutover, and rollback. Lead the Terraform architecture for migration landing zones, networking, identity, security, application platforms, databases, monitoring, and environment promotion. Build reusable Terraform modules and environments for Azure Virtual Networks, Private DNS, Private Endpoints, Network Security Groups, Azure Container Registry, Azure Container Apps, Azure SQL, Key Vault, managed identities, monitoring, and access controls. Manage Terraform providers, remote state, locking, environment separation, module versioning, drift detection, policy checks, plan reviews, and approved CI/CD promotion. Evaluate AKS workloads and troubleshoot control-plane interactions, node pools, scheduling, taints, affinity, probes, Services, Ingress, DNS, network policies, CNI, storage, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, operators, custom resource definitions, admission controls, and workload identity. Assess containerized APIs and web applications for runtime dependencies, state management, configuration, database connections, health endpoints, startup behavior, scaling, ingress, egress, and external service dependencies. Assess Windows- and Linux-based applications hosted on Azure virtual machines, including scheduled tasks, local file dependencies, operating system integrations, certificates, ports, service accounts, and legacy deployment processes. Design Azure Container Apps environments for APIs, web applications, workers, jobs, and event-driven services using revisions, readiness checks, traffic splitting, rollback, KEDA, and scale-to-zero capabilities where appropriate. Containerize VM-hosted applications using secure OCI images, multi-stage builds, non-root execution, vulnerability scanning, structured logging, and reliable health probes. Determine when workloads must remain on AKS or virtual machines because of node dependencies, privileged access, operators, custom networking, persistent volumes, or operating system requirements. Plan migrations from SQL Server or Azure SQL hosted on virtual machines to Azure SQL Database, Elastic Pools, SQL Managed Instance, or a retained virtual machine. Manage database connections, validation, backups, cutover planning, rollback procedures, and measured capacity and performance sizing. Establish observability, alerts, operational runbooks, security evidence, load testing, failure testing, and rollback procedures. Partner with engineering, security, data, and operations stakeholders to document decisions and deliver a controlled migration. At least eight years of experience in infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, cloud engineering, DevOps, or solution architecture. Expert experience supporting containerized APIs and web applications, with at least seven years of relevant experience. At least six years of experience with Azure migration architecture and platform selection. At least five years of experience modernizing and migrating applications hosted on Azure virtual machines. At least four years of experience designing or supporting solutions using Azure Container Apps. At least five years of experience with Azure networking and private connectivity. At least four years of experience with managed identities, Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Key Vault, and role-based access control. At least five years of experience with SQL Server or Azure SQL hosted on virtual machines, including migration and performance planning. At least four years of experience with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and production operations. Demonstrated ownership of Terraform delivery for at least two VM- or AKS-based application and database migrations, including testing, security review, cutover, and rollback. Ability to read application code and Kubernetes manifests to diagnose API, web runtime, networking, identity, database, and scaling issues. Strong technical writing and communication skills, with the ability to work across engineering, security, data, and operations teams. Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert. Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert. Actual starting pay will be determined based on experience, skills, and internal equity.
