Senior-Level Platform Engineering | Microsoft Azure | Commercial, ETRM, Market Data, and Business Applications

Position Summary The Azure Platform Support Engineer is a hands-on, application-focused engineer responsible for deploying, configuring, upgrading, administering, automating, optimizing, and supporting business-critical Commercial, ETRM/CTRM, Market Data, and related business applications hosted on Microsoft Azure.

The role builds deep expertise in vendor application architecture, infrastructure dependencies, integration patterns, deployment models, performance characteristics, and operational requirements. It supports applications running on Azure platforms provided and governed by Enterprise Cloud Engineering; it does not design or own enterprise cloud foundations, networking, identity, or security architecture.

Key Responsibilities

- Install, deploy, configure, upgrade, patch, and administer Commercial, ETRM, Market Data, and vendor applications across nonproduction, disaster recovery, and production environments.
- Own application-platform readiness, configuration, reliability, performance, supportability, and lifecycle execution on Azure infrastructure supplied by enterprise cloud teams.




- Develop deep product knowledge of application components, services, databases, integrations, dependencies, sizing, and recovery requirements.
- Collaborate with Application Development, Business SMEs, Vendors, Enterprise Cloud Engineering, Platform Engineering, Database, Security, and Service Management teams.

Application Platform Engineering Responsibilities

- Deploy and configure vendor and custom applications on Azure Windows Server VMs, including services, IIS, schedulers, middleware, client components, and environment settings.
- Administer application workloads on Azure SQL Managed Instance, including database deployment, connectivity, SQL Agent jobs, backup and restore coordination, diagnostics, and capacity monitoring.
- Translate vendor architecture and installation requirements into repeatable build, validation, cutover, rollback, and transition plans.
- Tune application performance using operating-system metrics, SQL diagnostics, logs, workload behavior, resource utilization, and vendor guidance.
- Troubleshoot applications, Windows, SQL MI, integrations, certificates, storage, service accounts, connectivity, and configuration; engage enterprise owners when issues fall outside the roles boundary.
- Plan application upgrades, patch compatibility, environment refreshes, resilience tests, capacity, and platform optimization.

Automation & DevOps Responsibilities

- Build and maintain GitHub Actions workflows for installation, release orchestration, configuration, database deployment, validation, approvals, and rollback.
- Use Terraform within enterprise-approved patterns to provision application environments and supporting Azure resources without owning the enterprise cloud foundation.




- Develop PowerShell and other scripts for environment setup, patching, health checks, configuration validation, service management, log collection, and recurring tasks.
- Standardize reusable deployment packages, configuration, secrets references, release controls, and automated tests to reduce manual effort and drift.
- Troubleshoot pipeline, deployment, dependency, artifact, Terraform state, configuration, and release failures.

Required Technical Skills

- Hands-on administration of applications hosted on Azure Windows Server VMs and Azure SQL Managed Instance.
- Strong experience installing, configuring, upgrading, patching, troubleshooting, and supporting vendor or enterprise applications.
- Practical expertise with GitHub Actions, Terraform, PowerShell, Git, CI/CD, release management, and environment provisioning.
- Working knowledge of Windows services, IIS, scheduled tasks, certificates, service accounts, SQL diagnostics, backup and restore, and application connectivity.
- Demonstrated performance tuning, capacity planning, monitoring, root cause analysis, reliability improvement, technical documentation, and cross-team collaboration skills.

Preferred Skills

- Experience with energy trading, ETRM/CTRM, Market Data, risk, scheduling, logistics, settlement, or pricing platforms.
- Experience with RightAngle, TriplePoint, PlanLogic, Endur, ZEMA, or comparable vendor applications.
- Knowledge of Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, Splunk, REST APIs, middleware, messaging, integrations, .NET, Python, Bash, or enterprise schedulers.
