This position is a hands-on engineering role responsible for implementing, configuring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure in Azure Government, working from architecture and security guidance to deliver a functioning, compliant environment. This position will work day to day with the architecture, security engineering, AI/ML, and DevSecOps teams to build out and validate privacy and security control implementations throughout the EPS lifecycle. Key Responsibilities Azure Network Engineering & Implementation Build and configure Azure network infrastructure, including VNETs, subnets, peering, firewalls, private endpoints, NSGs/ASGs, and routing tables, based on approved architecture and security guidance. Implement ports, protocols, and services (PPS) requirements for applications, integrations, and system components, and keep the supporting documentation current as configurations change. Stand up and maintain DNS, load balancing, VPN, and ExpressRoute connections. Configure network segmentation and access controls that support Zero Trust principles and least privilege in day-to-day operations. RMF, Security Controls, and ATO Support Act as the hands-on network engineer supporting RMF Step 1 through 6 activities, implementing and configuring controls that meet NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, and FedRAMP Moderate requirements.

Work with cybersecurity, data governance, and PM teams to keep network operations secure and audit-ready throughout the system development lifecycle. Azure Cloud Security & Integration Build and maintain secure integrations between application tiers, databases, logging services, CI/CD pipelines, third-party services, and on-prem environments. Monitor and enforce traffic flow so all connectivity stays within FedRAMP-authorized boundaries with no egress to non-approved networks. Implement secure configurations, encryption settings, and identity controls alongside the security engineering team. Application Development & Deployment Support Provide direct network engineering support to application teams deploying services into Azure Government, including connectivity, bandwidth, firewall rules, and endpoint configuration. Participate in Agile ceremonies (Scrum/SAFe) and work with PM/Scrum leadership to keep network tasks on pace with sprint objectives. Troubleshoot connectivity, latency, DNS, load balancing, and service integration issues as they come up. Documentation & Technical Support Maintain accurate architectural documentation, including as-is/to-be network states, configuration baselines, and change records. Support technical evaluations and recommendations on: * Network modernization approaches * Secure cloud migration patterns * FedRAMP-aligned configurations * Performance optimization * Cost management Work collaboratively across engineering, cybersecurity, governance, and operations teams to implement and support solutions end to end. ## Related Videos - [Transforming Education: A Journey from interactive Markdown to Remote-Labs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/941-transforming-education-a-journey-from-interactive-markdown-to-remote-labs) - [Creating a routing app with Google Maps API from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/831-creating-a-routing-app-with-google-maps-api-from-scratch) - [DevSecOps: Injecting Security into Mobile CI/CD Pipelines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/273-devsecops-injecting-security-into-mobile-ci-cd-pipelines) - [Developer Tools for Microsoft Azure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/450-developer-tools-for-microsoft-azure) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [Azure-Well Architected Framework - designing mission critical workloads in practice](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1529-azure-well-architected-framework-designing-mission-critical-workloads-in-practice) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [The Best Job Search Websites of 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/368-the-best-job-search-websites-of-2025) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market)
