## Description

We are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer II to stabilize, maintain, and modernize FPPA's Microsoft Azure environment while advancing the organization's adoption of Microsoft AI technologies. This is a hands-on infrastructure engineering role with two equally important priorities: keeping our current environment stable and healthy through an active transition, and helping FPPA lean into artificial intelligence, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Services, and the Power Platform.

FPPA's current Azure footprint relies heavily on self-managed virtual machines rather than native cloud services. A central objective of this role is to re-architect and migrate these workloads from self-managed VMs to modern, managed Azure services (PaaS) - improving reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency - while keeping the existing environment stable during the transition. This is not an AI-only role: the successful candidate must be comfortable operating and stabilizing the current environment while introducing AI-driven capabilities over time. Cybersecurity is owned by a dedicated security resource; this position partners with that function to build secure solutions but does not own the security program.
