  • Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and deliver solutions from concept through implementation
  • Experience with Azure administration, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Automation Accounts (preferred)
  • Experience with Power Automate and Power Platform (preferred)
  • Experience integrating with ServiceNow and other enterprise platforms (preferred)
  • Experience with Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot Studio, AI agents, or enterprise AI solutions (preferred)
  • Familiarity with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector search, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) (preferred)
  • Understanding of identity governance, security best practices, and enterprise compliance requirements (preferred)
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
