• Ability to develop technical designs, standards, documentation, and operational procedures.
• Ability to work independently and provide technical leadership in a lean IT environment.
• Experience with Microsoft security and vulnerability management technologies is a plus.

• Design and implement secure, scalable, resilient, and supportable Azure and Microsoft 365 solutions.
• Develop technical standards, reference architectures, configuration baselines, and engineering best practices.
• Lead technical design and implementation for cloud, infrastructure, security, and modernization projects.
• Evaluate technology options and recommend solutions based on business needs, security, cost, reliability, and supportability.
• Ensure solutions are designed for effective monitoring, security, backup, recovery, documentation, and ongoing support.
• Serve as the technical owner and subject matter expert for Azure and Microsoft 365.
• Define and drive architecture, technical standards, best practices, and technology roadmap.
