We are seeking an **Azure Cloud / Platform Engineer** with **5\+ years** of experience to support the infrastructure and platform layer of a modern AI\-driven application. Despite the common title, this is not a traditional data engineering role (no BI, no reporting, no heavy ETL pipelines). This role focuses on cloud infrastructure, system integration, and deployment.
