    • Project Work

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (App Dev, Security, Architecture, etc.) on cloud infrastructure design for new projects or migrations.
  • Create detailed design documents, implementation plans, and operational runbooks for new infrastructure solutions.
  • Evaluate and implement new tools and technologies to improve reliability and automation.

  • Application Gateway, Azure Firewall.
  • App Services (Web Apps) and Virtual Machines.
  • Strong understanding of cloud security best practices.
  • Proven troubleshooting experience, especially under pressure during outages or incidents.
  • Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools like Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights.

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Azure certifications (e.g., AZ-104, AZ-305, AZ-400) are a strong plus.
  • Experience with CI / CD tools and DevOps pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions).
