  • Manage RBAC, security posture, compliance, and lifecycle standards
  • Build and maintain reusable IaC modules (Terraform and ARM)
  • Automate landing zones and standardized environments
  • Ensure reliability with logging, error handling, and best practices in Azure Automation runbooks
  • Use Managed Identities for secure, credential-free access
  • Oversee runbook lifecycle: version control, testing, and deployment
  • Automate provisioning, compliance checks, remediation, and security triage
  • Integrate governance into CI/CD (Azure DevOps YAML pipelines, GitHub repositories)
  • Enable policy validation, security scans, and drift detection in pipelines
  • Manage code via Git-based workflows
  • Deliver automated guardrails and policy-as-code
  • Create scalable landing zones and standardized environments
  • Ensure continuous compliance, monitoring, and remediation
  • Develop reusable frameworks and strong documentation

Key Skills:

  • 3-5 years experience in a cloud engineering role
  • One (1) plus years of governance experience
  • Hands-on experience with Azure Policy (initiatives, guardrails, remediation)
  • RBAC and identity governance
  • Subscription / landing zone design
  • Resource guardrails across Azure services
