• Build and maintain AI-assisted workflows using tools such as Claude Code or GitHub Copilot, enabling faster IaC development, automated documentation, and intelligent incident response
• Design and deploy AI agent pipelines for operational tasks: incident triage, configuration drift detection, Jira workflow automation, and runbook generation
• Champion automation and observability at scale using PowerShell, Graph API, Terraform, Ansible, and AI agent frameworks
• Lead incident response and learning review analysis for critical infrastructure events; drive systemic improvements from findings
• Mentor senior and staff engineers, promoting innovation, accountability, and continuous growth
• Oversee vendor and partner relationships, including solution evaluation and contract negotiation
• Represent infrastructure engineering in executive forums, audits, and strategic planning sessions
• Participate in on-call rotation

The ideal candidate has

• Deep expertise across Microsoft Cloud technologies: Microsoft 365, Intune, Exchange Online, Defender for Endpoint, Azure AD, and Azure infrastructure

• Proven experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling: Terraform, Ansible, and PowerShell automation at scale
• Experience with vulnerability management platforms (Microsoft Defender, Conditional Access) and certificate lifecycle management
• Demonstrated experience designing and operating disaster recovery and high-availability architectures using tools such as Rubrik
• Experience building or operationalizing AI-assisted engineering workflows, LLM agent pipelines, or agentic automation frameworks (strongly preferred)
• Track record of mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction across a team or organization
