• Provision and configure secure, policy-compliant Azure subscriptions with baseline networking & components (VNets, NSGs, private endpoints, app gateways) for Application teams using IaC/Bicep.
• Implement role-based access control (RBAC) and Azure Policy enforcement
• Work with development teams to create and maintain CI/CD pipelines and reusable infrastructure-as-code modules to support repeatable, automated deployments.
• Create and support operational monitoring dashboards, logs, and documentation to enable effective management and incident response.
• Through cross-team collaboration and knowledge sharing, provide guidance and support to business, infrastructure, and development teams.

Required Skills:

• 3 Years - Direct experience integrating Azure OpenAI and Cognitive Services into applications or services, including security configuration, API management, and service limits.

• 2 Years - Experience designing and implementing reusable infrastructure using Bicep and building automated pipelines with Azure DevOps, or similar tools.
• 3 Years - Familiarity with implementing and managing Azure Policies, RBAC, and resource tagging strategies

Preferred Skill:

• 3 Years - Experience designing Azure environments with a “private-by-default” approach which includes use of Private Endpoints, disabling public IPs, restricting access via NSGs and Azure Firewall, and enforcing policies to prevent public exposure.

Preferred Certifications:

• AI-102, AZ-105, AZ-305, AZ-400 and other azure certifications.
