Evaluate emerging technologies and provide recommendations for modernization, standardization, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Cloud Engineering, Infrastructure as Code & Hybrid Infrastructure

Design, implement, and support Microsoft Azure infrastructure services across hybrid cloud environments.

Lead and support migrations from on-premises infrastructure to Azure, including discovery, dependency assessment, architecture design, implementation, testing, cutover planning, rollback planning, and post-migration optimization.

Design and implement Azure infrastructure components including virtual machines, virtual networks, storage, identity services, monitoring solutions, availability configurations, and security controls.

Apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using technologies such as Terraform, Azure CLI, PowerShell, Bicep, ARM Templates, or similar automation and configuration-management tools.

Develop reusable, modular, and standardized Infrastructure as Code templates to support consistent and repeatable infrastructure deployments.

Maintain Infrastructure as Code configurations within source-control repositories and follow appropriate versioning, review, testing, and deployment practices.

Automate server provisioning, operating system configuration, infrastructure deployments, patching activities, compliance validation, and routine administration.

Identify opportunities to replace manual processes with secure, supportable, reusable, and auditable automation.

Develop and maintain Azure governance standards, including subscription management, resource organization, naming conventions, tagging standards, role-based access control, Azure Policy implementation, and lifecycle management.

Perform ongoing assessments of cloud environments to identify optimization opportunities, including rightsizing, utilization analysis, lifecycle management, and cost optimization initiatives.

Collaborate with application, network, database, and security teams to ensure successful deployment of cloud-native and hybrid workloads.

Solution Design & Infrastructure Architecture

Lead infrastructure solution design activities for enterprise projects, modernization programs, cloud adoption initiatives, and technology transformation efforts.

Produce and maintain infrastructure architecture diagrams, technical designs, implementation plans, migration strategies, and operational documentation.

Develop high-level and detailed architecture diagrams covering Azure, server infrastructure, Active Directory, Entra ID, virtualization, networking, storage, databases, security, high availability, and disaster recovery designs.

Translate business requirements, technical requirements, and security requirements into scalable and supportable infrastructure solutions.

Define Infrastructure as Code standards, reusable deployment modules, automation frameworks, and architecture patterns aligned with enterprise governance requirements.

Participate in architecture reviews, design assessments, technology evaluations, and technical governance processes.

Ensure solutions are designed with scalability, security, resiliency, supportability, maintainability, and cost effectiveness as key objectives.

Contribute to technology roadmaps, platform modernization strategies, cloud adoption plans, and lifecycle management decisions.

Operations, Monitoring, Patching & Continuous Improvement

Monitor infrastructure health, performance, capacity, availability, and configuration compliance across server, virtualization, cloud, identity, storage, and supporting platforms.

Lead patch management and update management activities across operating systems, virtualization platforms, Azure services, and other infrastructure technologies.

Establish structured patch-management processes covering testing, approvals, deployment, validation, rollback planning, exception management, and compliance reporting.

Work closely with Security teams to prioritize vulnerability remediation and implement infrastructure hardening standards.

Utilize PowerShell, Azure CLI, Terraform, Bicep, and similar tools to automate deployments, configuration management, monitoring, compliance reporting, and operational processes.

Review and maintain automation solutions to ensure reliability, security, maintainability, logging, and proper error handling.

Identify opportunities to standardize, simplify, and automate infrastructure operations.

Support audits, operational reviews, compliance initiatives, and infrastructure risk assessments.
