Senior Cloud Engineer - Azure Platform

Join us in building the platform that powers payments, and help shape how AI transforms everything we do. At Vipps MobilePay, our Platform & AI area builds the rock-solid foundation our products rely on. We design, maintain, and evolve the cloud platform that keeps our services secure, scalable, and lightning-fast. Now we’re taking the next step: bringing AI into the heart of our platform. That means giving our product teams safe, governed, developer-friendly access to LLMs and shared AI capabilities — and we’d love your help to make it happen. What you’ll be doing You’ll play a key role in building and running our cloud platform, with a mix of infrastructure engineering, automation, and AI enablement. Here’s some of the things you’ll be working on: Shape our cloud platform: Build and operate core infrastructure in Azure — especially AKS and Azure PaaS services. Enable AI across the company: Extend the platform with secure, well-governed AI capabilities that make it easy (and responsible!) for teams to use LLMs and shared AI services. Write infrastructure as code: Use Terraform and/or Bicep to create modular, reusable infra that’s fully version-controlled. Automate where possible: Use GitOps tooling like Argo CD, Helm, and Kustomize to deliver platform changes quickly and safely. Keep things secure: Own identity and access patterns, secrets management, and network controls using Azure-native and Kubernetes primitives. Make it reliable: Build for high availability, safe rollouts, and cost-efficient scaling. Collaborate closely: Work with architecture, product, and security teams to translate needs into platform capabilities that just work. Keep improving: Help shape our internal standards and platform roadmaps as we grow. We're looking for a senior cloud engineer who is pragmatic, collaborative, and passionate about building reliable platforms.
