• Collaborate with development, operations, and support teams to integrate cloud infrastructure with applications and services.

• Document architecture, configurations, procedures, and runbooks.

• Propose improvements for performance, cost-efficiency, scalability, and resilience.

Preferred Skills & Qualifications

• Strong experience with Microsoft Azure (VMs, networking, identity, storage, backups, security), ideally including hybrid on-premises + cloud setups.

• Solid knowledge of Windows Server and/or Linux administration, virtualization, and identity management.

• Good understanding of networking concepts: firewalling, VPN, subnets, security groups, and cloud networking.

• Familiarity with backup/disaster recovery, monitoring, logging, and compliance/security best practices.

• Certifications such as Azure Administrator or Azure Security are desirable but practical experience is most important.
