The role partners with application, operations, and governance stakeholders to deliver infrastructure-as-code (IaC), observability, subscription vending, and technical documentation/runbooks needed to support enterprise workloads.
- Azure architecture and platform engineering: subscriptions, management groups, RBAC, resource organization, and platform services discovery.
- Azure Landing Zone (ALZ) design and implementation: enterprise-scale patterns, including platform hardening and guardrails.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation: Terraform modules/pipelines; ability to standardize and reuse code.
- Methodologies: Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, and Azure Well-Architected Framework.
- Monitoring, alerting, and observability engineering: for production Azure environments; integration with enterprise tooling (e.g., Dynatrace) when required.
- Subscription vending / provisioning automation: and self-service enablement aligned to enterprise governance.
- Discovery and assessment: inventorying tenants/subscriptions/services, users/groups/service principals, and documenting dependencies and migration readiness.
- Architecture documentation: target-state diagrams, design documents, compliance validation evidence, and operational runbooks.
- Proven experience: designing and implementing an enterprise Azure Landing Zone, including guardrails, controls, and operating model considerations.
- Discovery and migration assessment: ability to lead current-state discovery and perform migration assessment: resources discovery, application-to-resource mapping, dependency identification, and migration readiness findings.
- Hands-on IaC delivery: define standards, build/review reusable modules, and drive adoption through CI/CD pipelines.
- Monitoring/alerting baselines: design and codify monitoring/alerting baselines for production Azure workloads, including alert tuning, dashboards, and integration points with enterprise observability tools.
- Subscription vending/provisioning processes: design processes (requests, approvals, policy assignment, networking/logging hooks) aligned to enterprise governance.
- Documentation discipline: create detailed design docs, architecture diagrams, and operational runbooks to enable handover and support.
- Security and compliance alignment: implement platform preventive/detective controls and work within established enterprise processes and tooling.
- Integration experience: integrating Azure monitoring with Dynatrace (or similar APM/observability platforms) including data sources, tagging standards, and alert routing.
- Multi-cloud experience: experience with multi-cloud account/subscription provisioning patterns (e.g., AWS account vending) and translating those patterns to Azure subscription vending.
