• Deploy, manage, and optimize enterprise-scale cloud resources within Microsoft Azure.
• Administer hybrid virtualization architectures, transitioning virtual machines and workloads from on-premises Proxmox to Azure.
• Maintain and configure base operating systems across Windows Server and Linux environments in the cloud.
• Design, build, and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps.
• Author, review, and maintain infrastructure state using Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Bicep, ARM Templates).
• Develop automated operational scripts utilizing PowerShell.
• Audit existing on-premises hosted applications and gather technical requirements for Azure cloud deployments.
• Analyze resource utilization and architectural dependencies of applications on on-premises virtual machines.
• Evaluate and recommend migration strategies (IaaS or cloud-native resources).
• Provide technical guidance to developers on cloud deployment pathways, access control, and performance optimization.
• Manage cloud governance, object lifecycles, and secure identity mapping through Azure AD.
• Configure observability setups using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.
• Implement infrastructure hardening, security controls, and operational best practices.

A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in system administration, IT infrastructure operations, or cloud platforms architecture is required. Demonstrated hands-on experience deploying, administering, and monitoring production cloud environments using Microsoft Azure is required. Proven experience building automated CI/CD pipelines and developing infrastructure deployments utilizing Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM Templates) is required. Proven experience collaborating directly with software development teams to extract application performance metrics, translate software requirements into infrastructure specifications, and plan application modernization strategies is required. Solid technical proficiency in scripting with PowerShell and configuring core infrastructure services, including Windows Server, Linux, and Azure Active Directory, is required. Practical technical experience supporting or executing system migrations from on-premises hypervisors (specifically Proxmox VE or VMware) to public cloud environments (Microsoft Azure) is highly desirable.

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Cloud Engineering, System Administration, or related technical fields is required.
