Senior Azure Cloud Engineer

• Are passionate about Azure cloud engineering, automation, and secure platform enablement
• Enjoy supporting and educating development teams on cloud services and best practices
• Communicate effectively and can switch rapidly between tasks and contexts
• Work well both independently and within large, multidisciplinary teams
• Can translate technical issues and solutions for broad team understanding
• Are self-driven, adaptable, and committed to continuous learning

• Serve as a primary technical resource for Azure Government services, constraints, and implementation patterns in support of MTSI Development Platform objectives.
• Design, implement, and maintain Azure subscription architecture and governance (management groups, RBAC, identity integration, networking patterns, resource organization, and guardrails).
• Build and maintain automated provisioning and deployment workflows using CI/CD with GitLab CI including reusable templates and shared pipeline components.
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) artifacts and "golden path" deployment patterns for Azure services (e.g., Terraform, Bicep/ARM), including policy-as-code where applicable.
• Provide hands-on support to platform users: onboarding, troubleshooting deployments, resolving Azure service integration issues, and improving developer experience through standardization and automation.
• Implement and operate enterprise-scale secrets management for developers and pipelines using Azure Key Vault, including rotation patterns, least-privilege access, and auditable retrieval mechanisms.
• Secure Azure resources in a highly regulated environment by applying governance and security controls (e.g., Azure Policy initiatives/assignments, secure configuration baselines, network controls, identity hardening, and continuous compliance monitoring).
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting for the Development Platform within Azure, including security posture monitoring and alerting for insecure or non-compliant resources.
• Secure CI/CD pipelines and supply-chain workflows: enforce least privilege for runners and service principals, harden pipeline configurations, reduce secret exposure, and integrate secure secret retrieval patterns (Key Vault or equivalent).
• Partner with cybersecurity/IA stakeholders to implement and validate required controls and support audit evidence collection through automation and logging.
• Contribute to platform documentation (architecture, runbooks, user guides), operational procedures, and continuous improvement of platform reliability and security.

• 5+ years of combined professional experience as a Cloud, Platform, DevOps/DevSecOps, SRE, Infrastructure, or Security Engineer.
• Azure experience is a must-have, including substantial hands-on experience across a broad range of Azure services and capabilities (IaaS, PaaS, identity, networking, data, AI, security, observability), and the ability to rapidly support additional Azure services as platform needs evolve.
• Direct experience with Microsoft Azure Government (GovCloud) is strongly preferred; experience working in regulated Azure cloud environments is required.
• Proven experience building automated deployments using CI/CD with a Git-based platform; GitLab CI/CD experience strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience securing CI/CD pipelines and managing developer secrets at scale using Azure Key Vault (or equivalent secrets management patterns and tooling).
• Hands-on experience implementing governance guardrails and compliance monitoring (e.g., Azure Policy, role-based access control, secure configuration standards).
• Experience implementing cloud security posture monitoring and alerting.
• Experience with IaC tools such as Terraform and/or Bicep/ARM; experience with modular, reusable patterns and secure defaults.
• Experience with Azure monitoring/logging toolchains (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights) and designing actionable alerts/dashboards for platform operations and security.
• Proficiency with scripting/programming languages (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Bash) and interacting with Azure programmatically via the Azure CLI.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across cloud services, identity, networking, cost control and deployment automation stacks.
