  • Implement secure cloud practices aligned with federal requirements (RBAC, Key Vault, IAM, encryption standards).
  • Ensure compliance with NIST, RMF, FedRAMP, and agency-specific controls.
  • Use Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and related tools to analyze system health, diagnose issues, and enforce SLAs.
  • Work with engineering, security, and program staff to support ongoing cloud modernization efforts.
  • Support onsite collaboration with customer stakeholders (note: role cannot be performed remotely long-term).
