About the Position
You will help drive our transformation from a legacy ticket-queue service into a secure, self-service platform model. This position requires a balance between maintaining operational integrity ("keeping the lights on") and driving proactive automation to eliminate tech debt, team friction and pain points.
Your day-to-day will combine keeping critical production systems stable with driving meaningful improvements through automation. You will own the lifecycle of our cloud and on-prem virtual machines, maintain, configure and provision computing resources, and enforce security posture by deploying endpoint controls (EDR) and managing user permissions, SSO integrations, and identity access across a multi-cloud environment. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with the security team to enforce compliance and drive down vulnerability remediation SLAs, while turning repetitive operational pain points into automated platform capabilities.

Develop, maintain, and scale configuration management and automated provisioning using Ansible across cloud virtual machines and hybrid environments.
Build, secure, and operate scalable infrastructure on public cloud platforms (predominantly Azure), managing compute instances, networking, and storage.
Partner tightly with the security team to identify vulnerabilities, execute mitigation strategies, install security components like EDR, and ensure compliance standards are met across all managed systems.
Administer and optimize identity management systems, including Azure Active Directory / EntraID, user permissions, and SSO configurations, ensuring secure and seamless access.
Write, review, and refactor IaC modules using Terraform within a structured Git repository model.
