Cloud Administrator

The Cloud Administrator is responsible for the day-to-day operation and support of LucyRx's Azure cloud environments, with a focus on stability, security, cost awareness, and operational consistency. This role translates defined cloud standards into reliable execution, ensuring that cloud platforms are operated correctly and issues are addressed quickly and methodically. The Cloud Administrator serves as a key link between Cloud Engineers (who build the platform) and Systems Administrators (who support users and applications), ensuring cloud resources remain healthy, secure, and well-governed. Role and Responsibilities: The Cloud Administrator's daily activities center on operating cloud platforms, responding to alerts and incidents, and enforcing standards established by cloud engineering and security leadership. This is a hands-on operational role with increasing responsibility for judgment and ownership as experience grows. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES • Operate and maintain Azure resources (compute, storage, networking) in accordance with established platform standards and security requirements. • Monitor cloud workloads, dashboards, and alerts; investigate and remediate operational issues promptly. • Execute cloud change management, including routine updates, configuration changes, and incident response activities. • Manage RBAC, identity integration, and access reviews across Azure, Entra ID, and related services. • Support cloud governance controls, including tagging, policy compliance, cost monitoring, and usage reviews. • Assist with troubleshooting cloud-related issues impacting applications, users, or downstream systems. • Partner with Cloud Engineers to validate new deployments and ensure operational readiness before handoff. • Partner with Infrastructure Security Engineers to ensure security controls are operating as intended. • Document operational procedures, configurations, and resolutions to improve repeatability and reduce escalation load. • Participate in incident reviews and contribute to improvements in runbooks, monitoring, and response processes. Qualifications & Education Requirements: • 2+ years of experience in cloud administration or cloud-adjacent infrastructure roles. • Hands-on experience operating Azure environments, including compute, storage, and basic networking components. • Working knowledge of identity and access management, including RBAC and Entra ID integration. • Understanding of cloud networking fundamentals, including DNS, routing concepts, and connectivity patterns. • Familiarity with cloud monitoring, alerting, and incident response workflows. • Strong troubleshooting skills and a disciplined, documented approach to operations. • Ability to follow standards while knowing when to escalate issues appropriately. • AZ-104 (Azure Administrator Associate) or equivalent practical experience. • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field preferred. • Equivalent cloud operations experience, certifications, and demonstrated outcomes are accepted in lieu of a degree. Preferences: • Experience supporting environments in regulated industries (e.g., PBM, healthcare, financial services). • Familiarity with hybrid cloud environments and on-prem to cloud integrations. • Exposure to cost management practices, cloud governance frameworks, or reliability engineering concepts. • Interest in progressing toward Senior Cloud Administrator or Cloud Engineer roles over time.
