• Partner with application teams and vendors to ensure IaC aligns with enterprise standards.
• Provide root cause analysis (RCA) and create clear technical documentation for leadership and business stakeholders.
• Participate in internal and external audits (SOX, ISO, compliance), ensuring Azure platforms meet enterprise and regulatory standards.

We’ll know you can make it if you have:

• 7+ years of experience in IT, with at least 4 years in Azure architecture/administration.
• Proven expertise in Azure networking, IAM, governance, and IaC.
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps/GitHub for automation and CI/CD.
• Knowledge of Logic Apps, Function Apps, Key Vault, and secure integration patterns.
• Demonstrated experience in audit preparation and participation (SOX, ISO, compliance frameworks).
• Strong documentation skills (runbooks, diagrams, standards).
• Excellent communication skills to bridge business and technical audiences.

Nice to Have:

• Azure certifications (AZ-305, AZ-500, AZ-104).
• Exposure to Microsoft Purview, Sentinel, Front Door, App Gateway, WAF.
• Experience with Service Bus, Event Grid, Event Hubs.
• Knowledge of FinOps and cost optimization practices.
• Familiarity with Azure Lighthouse and hybrid/on-premises integration.
• Leadership skills: mentoring, vendor management, running workshops.

Our gratitude for the job done will be eternal, but we’ll also offer you:

• Innovative technologies and platforms to “play” with.
