System Engineer Expert

What will you contribute?

As an Azure & Microsoft Expert Engineer, you will act as a subject‑matter expert in the design, deployment, optimization, and operation of enterprise‑grade Azure and Microsoft infrastructure solutions. You will lead complex engineering initiatives, applying deep technical expertise to architect cloud environments, enhance Microsoft server infrastructures, and implement robust security, observability, and automation frameworks. You will work independently on high‑complexity topics, collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams, and contribute innovative solutions that impact operational, project, and service objectives

Responsibilities & Deliverables:

Azure Architecture & Engineering

• Design, implement, and maintain enterprise‑grade Azure architectures supporting compute, governance, observability, storage, and disaster‑recovery requirements.

• Build and operate Azure landing zones, virtual networks, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), storage platforms, and hybrid connectivity using VPN or ExpressRoute.

• Ensure reliability, performance, scalability, and security across all Azure cloud components.

Microsoft Infrastructure Engineering

• Manage and optimize Microsoft server infrastructure including Windows Server, DNS, DHCP, failover clustering, and foundational compute services.

• Implement and enhance endpoint and infrastructure security using Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Office 365, and Sentinel for SIEM/SOAR — excluding all Identity & Access Management (IAM) components.

• Lead troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis for infrastructure issues impacting availability or performance.

Automation, IaC & CI/CD

• Develop automation solutions using PowerShell, Python, Terraform, Bicep, and CI/CD platforms such as Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions.

• Implement Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC) for cloud and on‑prem components to ensure consistency, repeatability, and operational efficiency.

• Design automated workflows for deployment, monitoring, compliance remediation, and operational processes.

Monitoring, Observability & Operational Excellence

• Build and manage dashboards using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and optionally Grafana to provide deep observability across infrastructure layers.

• Define alerting strategies, instrumentation, logging standards, and performance baselines to ensure proactive issue detection.

• Drive improvements in system reliability, resilience, and operational readiness.

Projects, Documentation & Leadership

• Lead cloud migration projects, modernization programs, and infrastructure transformation efforts.

• Produce high‑quality architectural documentation, engineering standards, runbooks, and operational procedures.

• Provide subject‑matter guidance to engineering teams, mentor junior engineers, and support cross‑functional collaboration.

• Contribute to improving technical practices and processes across the organization, supporting service, operational, and project objectives.

Required Experience:

• 7–10+ years of experience in Azure and Microsoft infrastructure engineering, with strong hands‑on expertise designing and operating large‑scale cloud and server environments.

• Demonstrated expertise in Azure compute, networking, storage, landing zone architecture, hybrid connectivity, observability, and DR/BCP strategies.

• Strong experience with Microsoft infrastructure services (Windows Server, DNS, DHCP, clustering), excluding IAM‑related components.

• experience in Vmware (AVS, Vcenter and vRA).

• Proven experience implementing security solutions using Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Office 365, and Sentinel (non‑IAM scope).

• Advanced proficiency in automation using PowerShell, Python, Terraform, Bicep, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Actions.

• Experience building monitoring dashboards using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and/or Grafana.

• Ability to lead complex technical initiatives, perform deep root‑cause analysis, and deliver innovative solutions to address operational and architectural challenges.

• Experience collaborating with cross‑functional teams and managing stakeholder expectations in high‑complexity environments, consistent with TP4 seniority requirements

• Experience operating within ITIL‑aligned environments (Incident/Problem/Change Management).
