This role is responsible for the architecture, reliability, security, and continued modernization of HDR's Azure infrastructure across production, disaster recovery, and non-production environments. The ideal candidate is a hands-on Azure architect who can lead complex technical efforts and collaborate effectively with specialized application, database, Linux, security, networking, and integration teams.

Lead the design, maintenance, and evolution of HDR's Microsoft Azure Government infrastructure across production, disaster recovery, and non-production environments.
Design and configure Azure networking and infrastructure components, including virtual networks, subnets, network security groups, application gateways, load balancers, traffic managers, virtual machines, storage, private connectivity, and supporting services.
Develop and maintain infrastructure architecture, technical designs, diagrams, implementation plans, test plans, operational procedures, and transition documentation.
Support security improvements involving network segmentation, IP allow-listing, TLS and certificate management, identity and access controls, service principals, encryption, logging, and vulnerability management.
Investigate complex infrastructure, connectivity, performance, and production issues that cross network, operating-system, middleware, application, and database boundaries.
Coordinate troubleshooting and root-cause analysis with application developers, WebLogic administrators, Oracle DBAs, Linux administrators, security personnel, network teams, and external integration partners.
Support high availability, disaster recovery, capacity management, platform resiliency, and continuity-of-operations planning, including disaster-recovery exercises.
Support operating-system and infrastructure lifecycle initiatives, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux upgrades, patching, platform migrations, and retirement of obsolete components.
Evaluate and support cloud-native modernization initiatives, including application-tier containerization, messaging modernization, and Kubernetes-based platforms such as AKS or OpenShift.
Improve monitoring and operational visibility using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Dynatrace, Prisma Cloud, or comparable observability and security platforms.
Develop and maintain infrastructure automation using tools such as PowerShell, Azure CLI, Terraform, Bicep, or Ansible.
Coordinate customer connectivity and infrastructure changes, including endpoint configuration, firewall requests, access validation, integration testing, architecture reviews, and change planning.
