What is a New Grad Cloud Engineer?

A New Grad Cloud Engineer is an entry-level professional who has recently graduated from college or university and specializes in cloud computing technologies. They help design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure and services, often working with platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Their responsibilities may include deploying applications, automating workflows, managing cloud resources, and ensuring security and scalability. New Grad Cloud Engineers typically work under the guidance of more experienced engineers as they build their skills and gain practical experience in the field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a New Grad Cloud Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a New Grad Cloud Engineer, you need a foundational understanding of cloud computing concepts, networking, and programming languages such as Python or Java, typically supported by a relevant degree in computer science or engineering. Familiarity with major cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and entry-level certifications such as AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner or Microsoft Azure Fundamentals are often expected. Strong problem-solving, communication, and a willingness to learn new technologies set exceptional candidates apart. These skills and qualities enable effective deployment, management, and troubleshooting of cloud solutions in evolving tech environments.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

BeneLynk is a national leader in providing social care. We serve people throughout the United States by making complex programs easier to understand. We succeed by centering the experience of the people we work with and by continuously seeking to improve in all that we do.

Here at BeneLynk, our mission is to improve lives and positively impact health barriers by providing our healthcare partners with the information they need and people with the advocacy they deserve.

AZURE CLOUD ENGINEER

POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking a highly motivated Azure Cloud Engineer to help design, automate, and secure BeneLynk’s cloud infrastructure. This role will focus on building and maintaining scalable Azure environments while ensuring compliance with healthcare regulatory frameworks such as HITRUST and HIPAA.

The Azure Cloud Engineer will play a key role in automating infrastructure deployments, improving platform reliability, and implementing modern cloud architecture patterns.

  • Investigate and respond to alerts, operational incidents, and infrastructure issues
  • Maintain documentation of cloud architecture, configurations, and operational procedures
  • Leverage AI powered engineering tools and copilots to accelerate scripting, automation, troubleshooting, and cloud optimization.
  • Utilize AI assisted scripting, automation, and infrastructure analysis tools to accelerate operational tasks and platform improvements.
  • Provide Level 2 and Level 3 technical support for cloud infrastructure and services
  • Research and recommend new cloud technologies and best practices to improve operational efficiency
  • Ensuring that all Azure Cloud and Office 365 configuration policies and conditional access policies are being enforced properly.
  • Build monitoring dashboards and alerts using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert in designing and implementing secure Azure architectures using private networking and private endpoints. Ensures that security controls which safeguard access to IT resources are in place and performing as expected
  • Performs health and performance assessments of internal processes and systems; recommends mitigating actions
