The role is part of Deloitte Global Technology, which operates at the forefront of technology development and processes, supporting and protecting Deloitte worldwide.

Deloitte's technology team works in a truly global environment, focusing on what can be, rather than what is, to help Deloitte deliver and connect with its clients, communities, and one another in innovative ways. The team's work underpins a prosperous society where people can find meaning and opportunity, and as the largest 100% Canadian-owned and operated professional services firm, Deloitte is proud to work alongside its clients to make a positive impact for all Canadians.

What You Will Do

  • Design and develop cloud solutions to automate provisioning, controls, compliance, and delivery of secure cloud platform services.
  • Provide strategic direction and thought leadership for Azure-based cloud platform solutions, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
  • Collaborate with development, operations, and business teams to streamline application lifecycle processes through automation and custom cloud solutions.
  • Lead the adoption of DevOps practices, tools, and processes to establish fully automated build/release pipelines and ensure stability and consistency.
  • Identify and resolve automation and cloud platform issues to ensure timely project delivery and high-quality outcomes.
  • Develop and prototype API specifications to support the automation of cloud services.

  • Partner with various teams to drive innovation and automation.
  • Ensure compliance with cloud security standards and best practices.

What We Are Looking For

  • Azure expertise with 4-5 years of hands-on experience, including console management and scripting (az cli, Powershell).
  • Mandatory certification in Azure cloud technologies.
  • Advanced skills in scripting languages (az cli, Powershell) to support automation and development.
  • Proficiency with continuous integration tools (e.g., Github actions, Azure DevOps) and code management tools (e.g., GitHub, BitBucket).
  • Intermediate proficiency in backend API design and development, especially using C# .NET.
  • Experience working in a collaborative environment with cross-functional teams.
  • Strong understanding of cloud security and compliance principles.
  • Ability to troubleshoot and optimize cloud platform issues.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with Agile development practices, with SAFe, Agile, or Scrum certifications preferred.
  • Understanding of cloud security standards (e.g., ISO 27001, CIS, NIST).
  • Experience with database operations and management.
  • Knowledge of IT service management frameworks.

Benefits and Perks

  • Opportunity to work with a leading professional services firm on cutting-edge projects.
  • Collaborative and dynamic work environment with a focus on innovation and employee development.
  • Flexible, proactive, and practical benefits that foster a culture of well-being and connectedness.
  • Access to deep subject matter experts through mentoring and on-the-job coaching.
  • Chance to be part of a global network and work with international teams.
  • Competitive compensation package and benefits.
  • Remote work arrangements with the necessary tools and support.
  • Professional development opportunities to enhance your skills and career growth.

How to Stand Out

  • Ensure your resume and cover letter highlight your Azure expertise and experience with cloud platform solutions.
  • Prepare to discuss specific examples of cloud automation projects you've led or been a part of.

  • Showcase your understanding of cloud security and compliance standards, and how you've applied them in previous roles.
