OUTGROWN YOUR OWN BACKYARD? COME PLAY IN OURS.

At Columbia, we’re as passionate about the outdoors as you are. And while our gear is available worldwide, we’re proud to be based in the Pacific Northwest, where natural wonders are our playground.

Every product we make and every task we undertake is inspired by the famous words of our founder, Gert Boyle: “It’s perfect. Now make it better.” As pioneers of relentless improvement, we are constantly evolving.

We believe the outdoors is ours to protect and strive to keep our planet healthy. We believe in empowering people to experience the outdoors to the fullest.

And we believe in you.

ABOUT THE POSITION

Columbia Sportswear is powered by technology that connects four global brands, a worldwide supply chain, and 500+ retail stores. Our Columbia Digital Technology (CDT) organization is expanding its Global Capability Center (GCC) in India to help drive our next phase of cloud transformation.

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with strong Azure expertise. General familiarity with AWS is a plus but not required. Experience with AliCloud remains an added advantage.

Because this role partners with global teams across North America, Europe, and Asia, excellent English communication (spoken and written) and experience working with international, distributed teams are essential.

HOW YOU’LL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Deliver engineering solutions across our Azure‑first cloud ecosystem

Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure using Terraform at a highly proficient level, ensuring scalable, secure, and repeatable deployments

Conduct audits, assessments, and develop technical documentation

Support global teams by assisting with operational escalations

Collaborate closely with cross‑regional partners to execute shared technical roadmaps

Partner with Finance, Platform, and Engineering teams to support FinOps practices, including cloud cost visibility, usage optimization, and spend governance

Contribute to cloud spend reporting, cost allocation, and showback models using Azure native tools and Cloudability

This position plays a key role in building a stable, scalable, and secure future for Columbia’s cloud portfolio.

YOU ARE

A strong Azure engineer passionate about secure, scalable, and innovative cloud solutions

A collaborator who enjoys working with global teammates across cultures and time zones

A clear and confident communicator—in both spoken and written English—able to work with technical and nontechnical audiences

Someone who values documentation, standards, and process-driven engineering

Familiar with IT Service Management (ITSM / ITIL), operations maturity, and enabling service teams

A proactive, self-directed engineer who thrives in a dynamic, global environment

An analytical thinker who emphasizes structure, quality, and repeatability

YOU HAVE

Minimum 5 years of hands-on cloud engineering experience

Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or related STEM field—or equivalent experience

Significant hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (primary requirement)

General knowledge of AWS (nice to have, not required)

Experience working with global or distributed teams (GCC/multinational experience is a plus)

Experience with Agile/Scrum, Jira, Confluence

Strong Terraform experience, particularly for IaC and deployment pipelines

Familiarity with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, CI/CD, automation tools such as Ansible and PowerShell

Experience with ITSM/ITIL; exposure to Jira Service Manager is a plus

This job description is not meant to be an all-inclusive list of duties and responsibilities, but constitutes a general definition of the position's scope and function in the company.
