This role focuses on identifying day-to-day operational tasks across infrastructure and Microsoft 365, then designing automation that removes the need to do them twice. You’ll pair that automation mindset with strong Azure and cloud engineering fundamentals, helping modernize how we build, manage, and scale our environment. Whether your strength leans more toward automation or cloud architecture, you’ll play a key role in reducing manual effort, improving reliability, and making our systems more efficient by design. This role works a hybrid schedule that requires working from the IAT office Monday through Wednesday, with the option of working Thursday and Friday remotely.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain automation solutions that eliminate repetitive manual work across infrastructure, identity, and Microsoft 365 services.
• Develop and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to provision, configure, and govern cloud and on-premises resources in a repeatable, auditable way.
• Build automation and integrations using the Microsoft Graph API to streamline identity, licensing, Teams, Exchange, and SharePoint operations.
• Author and maintain PowerShell scripts and runbooks to automate provisioning, reporting, lifecycle management, and remediation tasks.
• Design, implement, and operate Microsoft cloud solutions including Azure services (compute, networking, storage, monitoring), Entra ID (access controls, roles, MFA, conditional access), and Microsoft 365 (Exchange, Teams, Viva Engage, SharePoint).
• Configure and maintain Windows Server environments across cloud and on-premises, including Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, and IIS.
• Maintain the security, compliance, disaster recovery readiness, and performance of cloud and on-premises services.
• Identify root causes of recurring issues and eliminate them through automation rather than repeated manual resolution.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Security, Application Support, Data, PMO) to deliver scalable and secure solutions.
• Perform other duties as needed
