Het merendeel daarvan draait op ons eigen Azure-platform. Met ISO 27001-certificering als fundament werken we verder aan professionalisering, standaardisatie en doorontwikkeling.\nDaarvoor zoeken we geen ondersteuning, maar iemand die verantwoordelijkheid neemt voor het platform en het mee draagt, mee bouwt en mee bewaakt.\nOver Blackbirds\nBlackbirds is een boutique AI- en dataconsultancy uit Rotterdam. We leveren high-end oplossingen, managed services en SaaS-oplossingen voor organisaties die verder willen dan experimenten. Geen buzzwords, geen PowerPoint-consultancy: oplossingen die draaien en resultaten opleveren. We zijn een klein team met korte lijnen, we groeien hard, en er staan meer vacatures open.\nDe rol\nJe wordt samen met de lead engineer, die het platform heeft opgezet, verantwoordelijk voor ons Azure-platform. Er is geen hiërarchie tussen jullie: jullie werken samen op basis van expertise. Het beheer komt bij jou te liggen, en daarmee ook de verantwoordelijkheid voor de infrastructuur. Dit is een productieomgeving waar klanten op draaien, geen sandbox.\nWat je gaat doen\nJe ontwikkelt onze hub-spoke infrastructuur verder met Terraform: modules, networking en security. Je doet het operationele beheer: monitoring, incidenten, updates en kosten. Je beveiligt het platform met NSG’s, Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, private endpoints en identity & access. Je automatiseert met CI/CD (GitHub Actions), Infrastructure-as-Code en GitOps. Je beheert de GitHub-organisatie, de repository-structuur en de OIDC-configuratie. En je legt architectuurbeslissingen, compliance-evidence en runbooks vast.\nWat we zoeken\nJe hebt eerder in een vergelijkbare rol gewerkt, bijvoorbeeld in SaaS-dienstverlening of in een omgeving met managed services en projecten (of beide). Je hebt operationele ervaring als cloud engineer: je hebt een omgeving beheerd, gemonitord en problemen erin opgelost. Je weet ook wat het betekent om in een startup te werken die doorgroeit naar scale-up, of je wilt dat heel graag.\nWat je in elk geval meebrengt:\nHands-on ervaring met Azure: networking (VNets, subnets, private endpoints), identity (Entra ID, RBAC, managed identities) en security\nTerraform: je schrijft modules, begrijpt state en reviewt plans\nGit en GitHub: branches, PR’s, Actions-workflows en organisatiebeheer\nEen security-mindset: je denkt vanuit least-privilege, default-deny en compliance\nZelfstandigheid: je pakt zaken op zonder dat iemand ze voor je uitwerkt\nMooi meegenomen is ervaring met containerplatforms (Container Apps, AKS, Docker), ISO 27001 of vergelijkbare frameworks, Azure Policy of Defender for Cloud, observability tooling (Log Analytics, KQL, Grafana) of multi-tenant en managed service-architecturen.\nNederlands spreken en schrijven is een vereiste, vanuit je centrale rol en je contact met stakeholders. Je werkt op en vanuit ons kantoor in Rotterdam als uitgangspunt.\nWat wij bieden\nVerantwoordelijkheid: je voert niet alleen uit, je bepaalt mee hoe het platform eruitziet. Je hebt directe invloed op security, betrouwbaarheid en schaalbaarheid, op een ISO 27001-gecertificeerd platform dat compliance serieus neemt. Je krijgt volledige architectuurdocumentatie en een intensieve onboarding. Je kunt doorgroeien richting cloud security, platformarchitectuur of DevOps-leiderschap. Daarnaast bieden we een marktconform salaris, gratis lunch en een kantoor in Little C, Rotterdam. In februari verhuizen we\nHoe het verloopt\nJe voert gesprekken met onze directeur, de chief of staff en de technische leads. Onderdeel van de procedure is een referentie- en diplomacheck.\nInteresse? Solliciteer direct.
