The Opportunity:

Seeking an experienced Senior Azure Integration & Automation Engineer (Contract) to design, implement, and operationalize secure, scalable Azure-based integrations and automation solutions. This role is a hands-on individual contributor, focused on delivery and platform enablement rather than people management. You will partner closely with IT, Security, and business application owners to build production-ready integrations and establish repeatable standards across the enterprise.

• Implement standardized error handling, retry logic, idempotency, and exception capture patterns.

Security, Compliance, and Operations

• Implement secrets and credential management using Azure Key Vault, including managed identity access and rotation-friendly patterns.
• Apply secure-by-default practices such as role-based access control (RBAC), least privilege, and managed identities.
