- Build and optimize reusable infrastructure as code (IaC) components and templates for consistent, secure, and scalable deployments.
- Define and implement standardized deployment patterns and workflows for production workloads.
- Collaborate with other teams (IT, InfoSec, Networking) to understand their requirements and translate them into secure, scalable Azure solutions.
- Identify operational bottlenecks and architect innovative solutions that maximize system availability, reliability, and security.
- Implement and manage Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions to secure remote access and internal communications.
Minimum Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems/IT, or an engineering discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in Cloud Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, or DevOps roles.
- Deep hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure services and architectures, with a proven track record of running and scaling production workloads.
- Strong expertise in Azure Identity and Access Management (IAM), including Azure AD (Entra ID), RBAC, and Conditional Access.
- Demonstrated competency with security compliance frameworks (CMMC, FedRAMP, ISO, SOC, etc.) and experience implementing technical controls to meet these standards.
- Proficiency with infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, Bicep, or similar).
- Must be able to obtain Secret or Top-Secret clearance.
Preferred Qualifications- Azure certifications (e.g., Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer Associate).
- Experience with Kubernetes (AKS) or other container orchestration platforms.
- Development experience in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Go, PowerShell, TypeScript).
- Experience implementing GitOps practices or CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions).
- Knowledge of multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP) and their architectural differences.
- Experience in high-security or regulated industries (aerospace, defense, or similar).
- Familiarity with Zero Trust architectures and tools (e.g., Cloudflare WARP, Zscaler, Entra Private Access).
