Description
We are looking for a Cloud Engineer to support a Contract engagement focused on strengthening Azure network governance in Kansas City, Missouri. This role will evaluate the current cloud networking environment, identify control gaps, and implement policy-based guardrails aligned with defined security standards. The position is ideal for a hands-on, detail-oriented individual who can translate network security requirements into tested Azure Policy configurations and practical enforcement mechanisms.
Responsibilities:
Assess two Azure subscriptions to understand existing network architecture, security configurations, and control coverage.
Examine components such as virtual networks, network security groups, routing paths, firewalls, and private endpoints to determine alignment with required standards.
Identify deficiencies against established network control expectations and document findings with clear supporting evidence.
Design, build, and validate Azure Policies that audit and enforce network-related security requirements.
Integrate policy deployment activities into CI/CD workflows to support consistent and repeatable implementation.
Establish and test guardrails for key boundary areas, including administrative or internet-facing access, private access to platform services, routed traffic through hub or security layers, and exposure of public network configurations.
Produce organized technical documentation covering assessments, policy logic, test results, and compliance evidence.
Work closely with stakeholders to review outcomes, refine enforcement approaches, and support controlled testing within the designated subscription scope.
Requirements
Hands-on experience engineering and securing Microsoft Azure environments, with strong knowledge of cloud networking concepts.
Demonstrated ability to create, test, and deploy Azure Policy for audit and enforcement use cases.
Solid understanding of Azure networking services, including VNets, NSGs, routing, firewalls, and private endpoints.
Experience performing security or compliance reviews against defined control frameworks or network standards.
Familiarity with CI/CD practices and automation approaches that support infrastructure or policy deployment.
Strong documentation skills with the ability to clearly capture technical gaps, remediation steps, and evidence.
Ability to work independently in a delivery-focused Contract role while collaborating effectively with client stakeholders.
