- Design and implement Azure networking solutions, including Virtual WAN, private endpoints, and hybrid connectivity.

- Develop automation using Azure CLI and PowerShell to streamline cloud provisioning and operational processes.
- Implement and support Azure monitoring, backup, and operational management capabilities.
- Support Azure identity and access management, including hybrid identity, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Conditional Access, and MFA.
- Collaborate with infrastructure, security, networking, and other technology teams to establish secure, scalable, and supportable Azure solutions.
- Apply cloud architecture and engineering best practices to improve the reliability, security, consistency, and efficiency of the Azure environment.
Qualifications - Strong hands-on experience designing and building Microsoft Azure infrastructure, preferably within large enterprise environments.
- Looking for an expert/SME/Lead in an Azure environment.
- Strong hands-on experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), including building and deploying Azure infrastructure from code.
- Experience building and supporting Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines and working with Git-based development workflows.
- Demonstrated experience working in cloud buildout, transformation, or modernization environments, rather than solely supporting established cloud infrastructure.
- Strong knowledge of Azure networking, including private connectivity and hybrid cloud environments.
- Working knowledge of Azure governance, security, and identity/access management capabilities.
- Experience with PowerShell and Azure CLI for infrastructure automation.
- Experience with Azure Monitor and Azure Backup.
- Strong understanding of enterprise cloud infrastructure, automation, security, and operational best practices.
