Apply your Microsoft Azure engineering experience to help modernize, secure, and operate a large enterprise cloud environment. This role is ideal for a hands‑on Azure professional who can assess existing infrastructure, remediate configuration gaps, support cloud migrations, implement Infrastructure as Code, improve monitoring, and resolve production issues.

You will help transition legacy Azure workloads into a standardized and governed Azure Cloud Landing Zone while supporting reliable, secure, and compliant cloud operations.

This is not a high-level architecture‑only position. The role requires direct experience working with Azure infrastructure, monitoring, incident response, migrations, automation, and operational support.

This position supports the modernization and ongoing operation of a Microsoft Azure cloud environment.

The work includes assessing existing Azure resources, addressing configuration and governance gaps, migrating subscriptions and workloads into a standardized Azure Cloud Landing Zone, and implementing monitoring, logging, alerting, security, and cost‑management capabilities.

The engineer will also support incident response, root‑cause analysis, vulnerability remediation, documentation, dashboards, and operational runbooks.

• Develop and maintain:
  • Technical documentation
  • Architecture diagrams
  • Operational dashboards
  • Troubleshooting procedures
  • Runbooks
  • Configuration standards
• Communicate risks, incidents, remediation plans, and operational status to technical and business stakeholders.
• Work independently while following enterprise and government processes, standards, and governance requirements.

• Four to seven years of experience in cloud engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a related IT role.
• Experience with Azure Government or another regulated cloud environment.
• Experience implementing and supporting Azure infrastructure components, including:
  • Compute
  • Networking
  • Storage
  • Identity
  • Security services
• Experience implementing Azure monitoring, logging, and alerting.
• Experience supporting performance, availability, security visibility, and incident‑response activities.
• Experience assisting with cloud migrations or modernization initiatives.
• Experience moving workloads into standardized cloud environments such as an Azure Cloud Landing Zone.
• Hands‑on Infrastructure as Code experience using one or more of the following:
  • ARM templates
  • Bicep
  • Terraform
• Working knowledge of cloud‑security practices, vulnerability remediation, and compliance requirements.
• Experience supporting cloud operations, including:
  • Proactive monitoring
  • Incident response
