  • Build and maintain Azure infrastructure across various environments while adhering to security and compliance constraints.
  • Define technical requirements and design robust APIs in collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams, focusing on government cloud scenarios.
  • Drive engineering excellence by ensuring strong testing, observability, proactive monitoring, and deep diagnostics using Kusto (KQL).
  • Mentor peers and foster an inclusive team culture that promotes continuous learning and growth.

What we're looking for

  • Experience applying AI/ML techniques in production environments.
  • Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Familiarity with modern version control systems like Git and agile methodologies.
  • Ability to support live-site operations, including incident triage and root cause analysis.
