Automate provisioning, configuration, compliance checks, operational tasks, and remediation by using Terraform, PowerShell, Azure CLI, Git-based workflows, and related tools.

Provide hands-on Level 3 support for complex Azure and hybrid platform incidents, perform root-cause analysis, implement durable fixes, and improve runbooks and monitoring.

Support cloud migrations and modernization by assessing workloads, preparing landing-zone requirements, executing or guiding migrations, validating outcomes, and resolving post-migration issues.

Supporting and improve on-premises Hyper-V and VMware environments, including virtualization hosts, clusters, storage integration, backup, disaster recovery, capacity, lifecycle, and production resilience.

Create practical solution designs and implementation plans for Azure and hybrid infrastructure, ensuring designs can be deployed, operated, secured, monitored, and supported by the team.

Partner with Security, application, data, network, and operations teams to deliver secure and supportable platform solutions that meet business needs.

Challenge vendors, validate technical recommendations, and participate directly in proofs of concept, implementation, testing, handover, and issue resolution.

Coach CloudOps engineers through pairing, code reviews, troubleshooting, and knowledge transfer while remaining personally accountable for hands-on delivery.

Design the cloud and infrastructure foundation needed for secure data collection, aggregation, storage, integration, and analytics enablement.

Understand enough about Microsoft data platform concepts - such as Fabric, OneLake, Data Factory, Event Hubs, storage, lakehouse patterns, networking, identity, and monitoring - to partner effectively with Digital Innovation and BI/AI teams.

Support infrastructure patterns for facility, edge, gateway, or vendor platform integration into approved cloud or data platforms.

Evaluate digital/data vendor proposals for infrastructure fit, security, integration, cost, operability, supportability, and alignment to the Azure platform.

Partner with Security on Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud posture, identity/RBAC patterns, network segmentation, logging, and remediation planning.

Practical automation and scripting experience using tools such as PowerShell, Azure CLI, CI/CD pipelines, configuration management, and policy-as-code.

Ability to take ownership of complex incidents and technical problems, work directly in production environments under change controls, complete root-cause analysis, and implement sustainable fixes.

Hands-on experience planning and executing migrations from on-premises Hyper-V or VMware environments to Azure, including discovery, dependency assessment, cutover, validation, and stabilization.

Solid production experience with Hyper-V and VMware vSphere/vCenter/ESXi, with familiarity in clustering, storage, networking, backup, disaster recovery, capacity, lifecycle, and resilience.

Ability to create practical solution designs, standards, diagrams, and implementation plans without losing focus on build, support, automation, and operational outcomes.
