Microsoft 365 Platform
  • Support and manage Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange Online and email integrations
  • Troubleshoot issues across Azure, Entra ID, and M365 services
  • Implement and support security and compliance controls across the M365 platform

AI & Copilot Enablement
  • Support and operationalize Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Studio
  • Assist with integration of Copilot into enterprise workflows and business applications

Qualifications

Education
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent combination of education and work experience.

Experience
  • 3+ years of professional experience in software engineering, application development, systems engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience developing, modifying, supporting, and maintaining business applications and systems.
  • Experience participating in cross-functional projects and delivering technology solutions in a business environment.
