Key responsibilities

- Deploy the Azure landing zone, policies, VMs, disks and Key Vault from the capacity plan using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Bicep)
- Configure Azure Bastion and harden the private subnet
- Build and validate backup and DR: Azure Backup vault (SQL 15-minute logs, daily VM backups), immutable Blob copy, and documented restore tests
- Set up Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, alert rules and a Workbook dashboard
- Deploy a Domain Controller in Azure in the existing domain; configure AD site, DNS and validate GPO and service accounts
- Lead the 2-week hypercare: stabilisation, tuning and issue resolution
- Contribute to testing, rehearsal, cutover and knowledge transfer





Deliverables you own Deployed Azure workplace and IaC code · resource inventory · backup policies and restore test report · DR runbook · alert matrix and monitoring dashboard · identity design record and AD replication health report · hypercare closure report

Must-have

- 5+ years in Azure infrastructure, with hands-on production deployments
- Strong Infrastructure as Code skills (Terraform and/or Bicep) with Git-based workflows
- Active Directory Domain Services, DNS and Group Policy: extending an existing domain to Azure without disrupting it
- Azure Backup, Azure Monitor and Log Analytics in real projects
- Windows Server administration and PowerShell scripting
- AZ-104 or AZ-500 (or equivalent proven experience)

Valuable to have
- Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, and security baselines (CIS)
- Experience with healthcare or other regulated, always-on environments
- Experience with immutable storage and ransomware-resilient backup design

What independence looks like Given a capacity plan, you can stand up a compliant environment, prove the backups restore, and hand over runbooks without being walked through each step.
