Cloud Engineer (Azure)

LOCATION

Remote (US-based) or at our headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska.

At Opendorse, we’re building the platform where athletes build their brands and earn from their influence — and we need someone to help us build the cloud infrastructure that makes it all go. If you love designing smart, scalable systems and want to take full ownership of a modern Azure environment, this is your opportunity to make an impact.

We’re looking for a Cloud Engineer
who’s ready to take the reins — from infrastructure to automation, cost optimization to security. You’ll join a collaborative, high-trust team that’s helping 140,000+ athletes monetize their name, image, and likeness — and we’re just getting started.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own our Azure playground: You’ll be the go-to person for all things cloud — from App Services and Azure SQL to Functions and Front Door.
• Build with Bicep: Everything is defined as code, and you’ll help us scale it smartly and securely.
• Streamline delivery: Keep our Azure DevOps YAML pipelines humming and our deployments smooth.
• Make it run better: Monitor system health with Application Insights and Azure Monitor Alerts and squash issues before they impact users.
• Secure it all: Maintain and improve IAM, enforce security best practices, and keep our infrastructure locked down.
  
• Make every dollar count: Track usage, right-size resources, and find savings to make sure we’re getting the most from every Azure dollar.
  
• Prepare for the future: Stay ahead of Azure changes — from new services to deprecations — so we’re always evolving on our own terms.
• Collaborate deeply: You’ll work closely with devs, product, and data — and your voice will always matter.
  
• Grow and shape your role: You’ll have room to stretch, lead, and even level up the discipline over time.

OUR STACK

• Cloud: Microsoft Azure — App Services, Azure SQL, Function Apps, AI Search, Storage, Service Bus, Front Door, Web Application Firewall, DNS zones, Static Web Apps, SignalR
• IaC: Bicep
• CI/CD: Azure DevOps
• Monitoring: Application Insights
• Scripting: PowerShell, Bash

ABOUT YOU

You don’t just use the cloud — you own it. You're resourceful, driven, and excited to make things better every day. You might be mid-career and ready for more responsibility, or a senior contributor looking for true ownership. Either way, you’re excited to build, ship, and collaborate.

YOU'LL THRIVE IF YOU:

• Have hands-on experience managing Azure infrastructure in a production environment
  
• Know your way around CI/CD and infrastructure as code (especially Bicep)
• Understand cloud networking, IAM, security, and cost management
  
• Love solving problems, asking “what if,” and jumping in to help a teammate
  
• Want to build great things with smart people who care

HOW WE WORK

• Remote-first across the U.S.
  
• Mission-driven — empowering athletes is at the heart of everything we do
• Team-focused — we believe in ownership, trust, and collaboration
  
• Moving fast — and growing responsibly

LET'S BUILD THE FUTURE TOGETHER

This is a high-impact role on a lean team where your work will shape how athletes connect, earn, and grow on our platform. If you’re ready to take the wheel and drive cloud infrastructure forward, we’d love to meet you.
