About The Position

This role focuses on administering and sustaining secure, multi-subscription environments within Azure Government. The administrator will deploy and manage virtual machines, storage, networking components, and identity services. A key aspect of the role involves application hosting using modern architectures like Containers and Azure App Services. The position also emphasizes security, compliance, and troubleshooting, including managing vulnerabilities, executing STIG checklists, and responding to Cyber Tasking Orders (CTOs). Advanced troubleshooting skills, particularly in analyzing network traffic, are essential. The role also involves performing above-baseline software updates and configurations, with routine maintenance handled by a Managed Service Provider. Automation through scripting (Azure CLI, PowerShell) is expected, but Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is not used for standard deployments. Expertise in Identity and Access Management (IAM), specifically Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Microsoft Entra ID, is crucial, including troubleshooting complex authorization systems. The administrator will also integrate with the service desk for issue resolution and communicate technical information effectively.
