compliance guardrails with Azure Policy, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Microsoft Sentinel against NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and customer security standards.\nApply the enterprise tagging strategy for asset management, cost tracking, and chargeback/showback using Azure Cost Management and Advisor.\nMonitor environments with Azure Monitor and enterprise tools such as Datadog, Splunk, and Dynatrace; integrate events, incidents, and changes with ServiceNow.\nPerform patching (Azure Update Manager), routine maintenance, capacity planning, and rightsizing; troubleshoot and resolve incidents as part of 24/7 operations support.\nDesign and test high availability, Azure Backup, and Azure Site Recovery for cloud workloads.\nWrite runbooks and SOPs, supply ATO evidence, and transfer knowledge to customer operations staff.\n Required Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.\nAt least 9 years of experience deploying and configuring cloud environments, including significant hands-on Azure work.\nProduction experience with Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and/or Bicep (ARM).\nHands-on experience with Azure landing zones, VNet design, Azure Firewall, and ExpressRoute or site-to-site VPN.\nExperience administering Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC, and single sign-on federation (SAML 2.0/OIDC).\nExperience monitoring, patching, and troubleshooting Windows and Linux workloads in Azure.\nWorking knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 security controls in a federal environment.\nAbility to obtain and maintain the background investigation required by the federal customer.\nPreferred Qualifications\nMicrosoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) or DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400).\nMicrosoft
