Job description

Job Description:

• Coordinate system refreshes, restore tests, and DR failovers, especially for Epic or other mission‐critical applications.
• Own P1/P2 escalations when L2 cannot resolve and lead major incident war rooms (root‐cause analysis, post‐incident reviews).

Azure Policies, Security and Network:

• Enforce Azure Policies and RBAC; manage vulnerability scans (Microsoft Defender, or other tools), patching any discovered weaknesses.
• Update and maintain firewall rules, NSGs, or other network security baselines.

Migrations and Decommissioning:

• Oversee more complex migrations between environments or Azure regions (sometimes involving re‐platforming or re‐architecting).
• Perform advanced data snapshot validations and coordinate system retirement/decommission tasks.

Resiliency Testing and Audits:

• Plan and execute chaos engineering exercises, including rollback or failback scenarios.
• Conduct regular security audits, ensuring that any deviations from compliance are documented and remediated.

Mentoring and Training Responsibilities:

• Deliver quarterly training sessions to L2 on new tools, processes, or changes to the environment.
• Act as final escalation point for complex or unknown technical issues.

Skills Set:

• Deep knowledge of Azure services, including network configuration, VM management, storage, AD, DNS, and security controls.
• Ability to architect and troubleshoot large, complex environments—both manually and with automated tools.
• Strong scripting or automation capabilities (PowerShell, Azure CLI) for large‐scale patching or configuration updates.
• Experience in incident management, root‐cause analysis, and producing post‐mortem reviews.
• Familiarity with Epic implementations (on-prem / cloud).
