Backend & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (Azure)
**Project:**Research Engine
**Location:**Prishtina – Hybrid
**Start date:**Immediate
About the role
We're building the Research Engine and need an experienced engineer to own the backend and cloud infrastructure that will take it from development to a secure, reliable production launch.
This is a hands-on, ownership-driven role. We're not looking for a traditional DevOps engineer who only manages deployments. We need someone equally comfortable writing backend code and designing, securing and running the cloud environment it lives in. You'll work closely with the development team, support backend integration, spot deployment risks early, and keep everyone else focused on implementation.
What you’ll do
- Design, provision and manage Azure infrastructure across development, staging and production
- Build and maintain backend services and REST APIs in Node.js and TypeScript
- Own PostgreSQL design, performance, migrations and operations
- Build infrastructure as code so environments are repeatable and automated
- Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines, including automated releases, database migrations and rollback strategies
- Implement identity and access management, least-privilege permissions and secrets management
- Set up monitoring, logging and alerting, and lead production troubleshooting
- Identify deployment and production-readiness risks early and raise them with clear recommendations
- Support developers with backend integration and infrastructure challenges
What we’re looking for
Experience
- 3+ years of professional backend and/or cloud engineering experience
- Proven ability to work independently and take ownership of delivery
Azure
- Azure Container Apps
- Azure Database for PostgreSQL
- Key Vault and managed identities
- Networking, storage and monitoring
Backend
- Node.js and TypeScript
- REST API design and development
- PostgreSQL
- Distributed systems
Infrastructure as Code
- Bicep or Terraform
- Environment provisioning and infrastructure automation
CI/CD and deployments
- GitHub Actions and Docker
- Automated releases, database migrations and rollback strategies
- Environment management
Security and reliability
- Identity and access management, least-privilege design
- Secrets management
- Observability and production troubleshooting
What makes you a great fit
-
You see backend code and infrastructure as one system, not two separate jobs
-
You flag risks before they become blockers
-
You communicate clearly with developers and stakeholders
-
You thrive in a fast-moving project with a fixed deadline
-
You can contribute from day one
Nice to have
-
Experience with research, data-processing or search-style platforms
-
Azure certifications (AZ-204, AZ-400, AZ-500)
-
Cost optimisation and cloud governance experience
