$82k - $154k
We are working with our client, one of the top pediatric hospitals in the U.S., to help them find a full-time Azure Cloud Engineer. This role is remote-first with occasional on-site work in Chicago and is part of a major cloud transformation initiative. You’ll join a highly respected team modernizing their digital infrastructure, with hands-on work across Azure architecture, Windows systems, and enterprise storage.
This client is undergoing a high-impact modernization of their IT systems, and you’ll be a key contributor to this transformation. You’ll partner with an existing Cloud Engineer to build and scale a secure, enterprise-level Azure environment while supporting legacy infrastructure that’s gradually being phased out. This is a rare chance to influence technical direction, grow with the team, and contribute to healthcare innovation — all while maintaining work-life balance and avoiding the bureaucracy of larger tech teams.
