We help organizations operate, secure, and modernize complex environments by unifying infrastructure, networking, data, security, automation, and observability under a single, integrated operating model. Our work focuses on helping customers reduce operational friction, improve resilience, and make better, faster decisions as their environments evolve. Arctiq builds on decades of industry expertise and a customer-centric ethos to deliver exceptional value to clients across diverse industries.\nThis is a 6-month contract-to-permanent opportunity with one of Arctiq's clients. Onsite presence is required Monday-Thursday in their Malvern, PA office with Friday being a remote day.\nWe are hiring a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with deep Azure experience across platform engineering and daily operations, reliability, hybrid connectivity, and cloud governance. You will run, protect, and improve our enterprise Azure environment as we move to an infrastructure model defined entirely in code and delivered through pipelines, guided by the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF). This is an infrastructure operations role: expect a mix of hands-on engineering and routine support, while upholding NIST and FFIEC standards in a regulated financial services setting.\nCore Responsibilities\nPlatform, Networking & Resiliency\nMaintain enterprise-scale Azure workloads and apply best practices in architecture, security, efficiency, and governance; take part in architecture and design reviews and help mature operations in line with CAF.\nCodify Azure Policy to enforce landing zone standards (management groups, subscriptions, RBAC, tagging) with Cloud Architecture.\nManage spoke-level networking in the hub-and-spoke model (NSGs, Private Endpoints, Private DNS, routing) and enable secure connectivity for monitoring and operational tools, partnering with Network Engineering and Information Security.\nTroubleshoot connectivity across DNS, routing, NSG/firewall rules, private endpoints, Azure Firewall, Application Gateway/WAF, load balancers, and ExpressRoute.\nImplement multi-region resiliency for critical platforms so failover and recovery are predictable and meet FFIEC business continuity expectations; run DR and failover tests, perform root cause analysis, and advocate for designs that improve scalability, recoverability, and stability.\nInfrastructure as Code, Automation & Monitoring\nBuild and maintain Azure infrastructure as code with Bicep and reusable modules, deployed through CI/CD pipelines with peer review and pre-deployment validation; move existing environments to fully code-managed deployments by importing resources and fixing configuration drift.\nAutomate recurring tasks with PowerShell, Azure CLI, Azure Automation, and pipelines, retiring manual processes where practical.\nImprove visibility with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics (KQL), workbooks, and actionable alerts.\nMaintain documentation, runbooks, standards, and architecture diagrams, versioned with the code where practical.\nSecurity, Compliance & Data Platform\nApply Zero Trust patterns using Entra ID, Privileged Identity Management, managed identities, Key Vault, and network segmentation.\nWork with Information Security on compliance, vulnerability remediation, segmentation, and audit readiness: conduct access reviews, validate configurations and policies, and produce evidence for internal audits and regulatory exams.\nHarden workloads to CIS and Microsoft baselines and track posture with Defender for Cloud and regulatory compliance initiatives.\nSupport Microsoft Fabric infrastructure (private connectivity, cloud and on-premises data gateways, workspace administration, capacity management).\nMentor engineers on infrastructure as code, Azure operations, and engineering best practices.\nDay-to-Day Operations & Support\nProvide second- and third-tier support for Azure services, Entra ID, virtual machines, and performance issues; coordinate with the service desk and NOC to route and resolve escalations.\nAssist senior engineers with patch compliance reviews, backup monitoring, and performance tuning; contribute to onboarding automation, runbooks, and alert triage.\nDocument DR readiness steps and root cause analysis for production-impacting events.\nJoin the on-call rotation, responding to critical alerts during and after business hours and escalating as needed.\nPrepare and execute ServiceNow changes with documented plans, testing, validation, and backout steps.\nVerify Azure resource compliance through tagging, configuration reviews, and policy validation.\nRequired Qualifications\n5+ years of enterprise cloud infrastructure and engineering experience, primarily Azure.\nStrong Azure networking skills (NSGs, routing, DNS, Private Link, hybrid connectivity troubleshooting).\nHands-on proficiency with Bicep, ARM templates, and Azure Policy; Git-based workflows (branching, pull requests, code review) and CI/CD infrastructure deployment.\nTroubleshooting experience with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics (KQL), and Network Watcher.\nSolid understanding of Zero Trust and cloud security; experience with Entra ID, hybrid identity, RBAC, managed identities, and Key Vault.\nOperational experience with Azure IaaS and PaaS (VMs, App Services, Azure SQL, Storage) on Windows and Linux.\nProficiency in PowerShell and Azure CLI for automation and support.\nWorking knowledge of formal change management (ITIL or equivalent) and ServiceNow; familiarity with Agile or Scrum and with monitoring and logging tools.\nExcellent analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills, and a commitment to continuous learning.\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.\nExperience in a regulated industry, including producing compliance evidence aligned to NIST or FFIEC.\nPreferred Qualifications\nMicrosoft Fabric or related Azure data services (Synapse, Data Lake), including gateways and private connectivity.\nAdvanced Bicep module design and pipeline authoring in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.\nDefender for Cloud and security baseline hardening (CIS or Microsoft); familiarity with CAF and Azure landing zones.\nAzure Virtual Desktop and Dev Box image and host pool management.\nExpressRoute failover behavior and multi-region network resiliency.\nPython scripting.\nAzure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-305, AZ-400, AZ-500, AZ-700); practical expertise is valued over certifications.\nArctiq is an equal opportunity employer. If you need any accommodations or adjustments throughout the interview process and beyond, please let us know.
