• Design and manage Azure networking, including VNets, subnets, NSGs, route tables, peering, VPN Gateway, private DNS, internal load balancing, and firewall controls.
• Ensure Azure workloads are not unintentionally exposed to the public internet.
• Implement and maintain Azure Lighthouse for delegated resource management, cross-subscription visibility, and secure multi-tenant administration.
• Administer Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Entra ID, Defender, and related services.
• Support Windows, Linux, IoT, Azure Arc, Azure Local, and hybrid infrastructure.
• Configure and maintain Azure Backup, Recovery Services Vaults, backup policies, restore procedures, and disaster recovery support.
• Configure monitoring and alerting through Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel integrations, and related tools.
• Support logging, security telemetry, vulnerability visibility, and incident response needs for the cybersecurity team and SOC.
• Partner with Enterprise IT, Cybersecurity, DevOps, application, and SaaS product teams to support secure infrastructure operations.
• Follow ITIL change management for cloud, network, Microsoft 365, security, and SaaS platform changes.
• Support compliance and audit readiness for SOC 2, FedRAMP, StateRAMP, and other regulated environment requirements.
• Maintain architecture diagrams, network diagrams, change records, backup evidence, monitoring evidence, and operational documentation.
  

Qualifications

• Hands-on Microsoft Azure engineering and administration experience.
• Required: Azure Lighthouse experience.
