Familiarity with Azure RBAC concepts and standard built‑in roles.

Responsibilities

Create and maintain Azure resource groups according to established naming, tagging, and environment standards to support ownership and lifecycle clarity.
Assist with operational governance activities (tag hygiene, stale resource cleanup, cost/usage visibility).
Apply least-privilege access principles using Azure RBAC and standard built-in roles; support periodic access reviews and remediation tasks assigned by security/lead.
Support day-to-day Azure networking fundamentals such as VNets/subnets, NSGs, routing, DNS, and secure connectivity troubleshooting in coordination with network/security teams.
Administer ANF resources including NetApp accounts, capacity pools, and volumes (create, modify, document, and maintain).
Perform operational tasks such as resizing, tier/service-level adjustments, and troubleshooting volume access/performance issues.
Implement and maintain ANF data protection practices such as snapshots and disaster recovery readiness activities.
Provision and maintain Azure Windows VMs and AVD environments: sizing, disk management, backups, and lifecycle tasks (start/stop, redeploy, deallocate, retire).
Support patching/maintenance routines.
Resolve common VM/AVD issues (CPU/memory/vGPU, disk latency, connectivity).
Support core AVD operational components (host pools/session hosts, scaling, image lifecycle, and operational troubleshooting) as part of day‑to‑day support.
Configure and monitor Azure services using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights; investigate alerts, document findings, and escalated as needed.
Participate in incident response support activities (triage, evidence gathering, containment steps as directed) consistent with IT/security procedures.
Contribute to runbooks, SOPs, and operational documentation to increase repeatability and reduce operational risk.
Work with internal teams to support initiatives involving Azure-hosted workloads and storage modernization, including file services migration to ANF.
