Responsibilities of the Candidate:

Deploying and validating application environments, executing releases, and managing change with discipline
Running core Azure services in production: VMs, App Services, Storage, Azure SQL, networking, IAM, and Azure Monitor / Log Analytics
Handling the operational work that keeps platforms reliable: patching, scaling, backups, DR validation, and access management
Leading incident response and root cause analysis when things break, and writing the runbook so the next person doesn't have to relearn it
Building automation that removes toil, with PowerShell, Bash, and CI/CD pipelines through Azure DevOps
Participating in 24×7 on-call rotations as part of a global operational model
We're not adding "AI" to a job description for keywords. Our CloudOps function is actively building AI-driven workflows for alert triage, knowledge management, deployment automation and operational intelligence using Azure OpenAI and Copilot capabilities.
We want engineers who see AI as a practical tool to reduce MTTR, cut noise, and scale operations, not just a technology to read about. If you've shipped automation that measurably improved reliability or reduced manual effort, that experience will stand out.

Requirements:

1-3 years operating Azure in production, ideally including Azure Government Cloud
Strong hands-on experience with Azure compute, storage, networking, App Services, Azure SQL, and Azure Monitor
Real troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, OS, network, and application layers
Windows and/or Linux server administration
Scripting in PowerShell, Bash, or Shell
Working knowledge of CI/CD with Azure DevOps
Familiarity with ITIL: incident, change, and problem management
Comfort working in a fast-paced, on-call environment supporting mission-critical workloads
Experience with Terraform, ARM, or Bicep
AKS or container-based workloads
Grafana, Kibana, or Application Insights
Cloud cost optimization and governance experience
Azure security best practices
Hands-on experience implementing AI-assisted operations, intelligent alerting, or automation that reduced manual effort
