• Design, implement, support, and maintain Azure networking solutions across multi‑region environments, including Virtual WAN, hub‑and‑spoke networking, Express Route, NSGs, Azure Firewall, Application Gateway, Private Endpoints, Private DNS, load balancing, and routing solutions.
• Implement and operationalize resilient Azure connectivity and failover patterns aligned to enterprise uptime and resiliency requirements.
• Troubleshoot complex Azure networking and connectivity issues across cloud environments.
• Work with IT and business stakeholders to understand requirements and ensure solutions align with mature cloud and IT operational practices.
• Ensure system performance and efficiency provide the highest levels of quality for internal and external user experiences.
• Design and implement resilient Azure network architectures aligned to FFIEC guidance, business continuity objectives, and enterprise uptime requirements.
• Support and operationalize multi‑region Azure resiliency strategies for critical platforms and services, including deterministic failover and recovery patterns.
• Improve operational reliability through standardized network architecture, observability, monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices.
• Participate in disaster recovery exercises, failover testing, and root cause analysis while advocating for architecture decisions that improve long‑term scalability, recoverability, and operational stability.
• Help mature Azure platform operations in alignment with Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) principles.
• Support standardization, governance, and operational consistency across Azure environments.
• Implement Azure‑native deployment standards using Bicep, ARM templates, Azure Policy, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Work to streamline and automate operational processes using Azure Automation, Power Shell, Power Automate, and Azure‑native tooling.
• Improve operational visibility using Azure‑native monitoring and analytics capabilities.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, operational standards, runbooks, diagrams, and procedures.
• Ensure the reliability, availability, and security of Azure services by implementing secure cloud patterns aligned to Zero Trust principles.
• Collaborate with Information Security teams to support regulatory compliance, vulnerability remediation, segmentation strategies, and audit readiness.
• Support secure private connectivity for Azure‑native and SaaS services, including Microsoft Fabric initiatives where applicable.
• Conduct regular audit reviews, access control validation, and remediation activities to maintain compliance requirements.
• Support and develop Microsoft Fabric solutions including data pipelines, lake houses, semantic models, workspace administration, and capacity management.
• Collaborate with data and analytics teams to support scalable, governed data platforms integrated with Azure services.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to engineering teams.
• Participate in architecture and design reviews.
• Advocate for operational best practices and challenge technical implementations when appropriate using sound engineering reasoning.
• Work collaboratively across Infrastructure, Security, Cloud Engineering, Dev Ops, and Application teams to align technical solutions with enterprise objectives.
• Demonstrate strong engineering judgment and the ability to adapt when presented with stronger technical or operational approaches.
