TELECOMMUTE Cloud Engineer- Remote

Cloud Infrastructure Engineering and Operations

• Design, implement, and manage cloud infrastructure solutions in Microsoft Azure and AWS, with Azure as the primary platform and AWS support focused on integration with project-team-managed workloads and potential future expansion.

• Build and maintain cloud networking, storage, compute, app services, virtualization, and containerized environments.

• Ensure scalability, resiliency, and high availability through proactive performance tuning, capacity planning, and operational optimization.

• Partner with operations teams to monitor production services, resolve incidents, and improve reliability across cloud platforms.

Security, Identity, and Compliance

• Implement and maintain cloud security configurations aligned with SEC security policies and zero-trust principles.

• Engineer and support identity and access controls using Microsoft Entra Identity, RBAC, conditional access, and least-privilege models.

• Enforce governance controls and policy compliance to support organizational and regulatory requirements, audit readiness, and risk reduction.

• Drive patching, vulnerability remediation, and secure configuration baselines across cloud-hosted infrastructure.

Automation, IaC, and CI/CD Enablement

• Develop and maintain automation using PowerShell, Bicep, ARM templates, and Terraform to provision and manage infrastructure.

• Integrate infrastructure workflows with CI/CD pipelines to standardize deployments, reduce manual effort, and improve release quality.

• Implement reusable IaC modules, scripting standards, and version-controlled operational artifacts.

• Advance automated operating models to increase consistency, security, and scalability.

Migration, Modernization, and Technical Leadership

• Lead migration of workloads from legacy/on-premises platforms to modern Azure cloud and hybrid architectures with minimal disruption.

• Optimize cloud resource utilization, cost, and service performance based on operational and mission priorities.

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and cross-functional infrastructure teams.

• Create and maintain architecture documentation, SOPs, and implementation guidance to support sustainable operations.
