As a Senior Azure Engineer within a major Program, you will be a key driver in ensuring the company's digital resilience. This is a high-impact role focused on Disaster Recovery (DR) automation and restoration. You will build the "break-glass" infrastructure and automation required to recover the Azure environment from catastrophic events (e.g., ransomware) to maintain Minimum Viable Business (MVB) operations. Core Objectives Rapid Restoration: Ensure the Azure environment can be "re-built" from scratch at speed. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Transition all manual legacy systems into a fully managed, version-controlled Terraform state. Data Integrity: Guarantee that business-critical data is protected by immutable backup policies. Key Responsibilities Terraform Conversion: Lead the "lift-and-shift" of non-IaC services into Terraform. This involves complex terraform import tasks and refactoring code to meet platform standards. Mutable Backup Implementation: Design and validate "locked" backup strategies for storage accounts and databases, ensuring they are protected against deletion or encryption. Recovery Runbooks: Author and test technical recovery procedures. Partner with SRE teams to convert these into PagerDuty Runbook Automation. Subscription Management: Manage resource migrations across Azure subscriptions (e.g., moving workloads to UAT/Production) to optimize capacity and security. Service Prioritization: Collaborate with stakeholders to stack-rank services based on restoration priority (RTO/RPO). Technical Requirements/ Essential Skills: Expert Terraform: Deep experience with Terraform Cloud/Enterprise, state management, and module development. Core Azure Services: Mastery of Azure VMs, Networking (Load Balancers, App Gateways, Firewalls, NSGs), and Storage Accounts. Containerization: Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (GKE/AKS), including cluster upgrades and workload orchestration. CI/CD Pipelines: Proficiency in Azure DevOps (YAML pipelines) for automating infrastructure deployments. Highly Desirable (Value-Add): Scripting: Proficiency in PowerShell, Bash, or a basic understanding of Golang (for custom Terraform providers). Disaster Recovery Tools: Experience with Azure Site Recovery (ASR) and backup vault immutability. Observability: Experience with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and PagerDuty integration If this is in your wheelhouse, hit the "Apply Now" tab and let's have a confidential discussion.
