Azure Resource Engineering & Governance

  • Implement and maintain Azure services and governance standards (e.g., App Services, Function Apps, API Gateways/API Management, AKS) supporting Tolling workloads.

  • Support identity and access management (e.g., Entra ID SSO and role assignments) following least-privilege principles.

  • Ensure solutions are fault tolerant and highly available; coordinate change requests and rollback procedures.

Monitoring, Troubleshooting & Reliability

  • Monitor Azure services and application workloads to ensure uptime and performance; perform diagnostic deep-dives with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.

  • Triage production incidents, drive timely resolution, and document root cause findings; participate in operational cycles and maintenance readiness checks.

Compliance, Data Flows & Cost Awareness

  • Consider PCI or comparable regulatory requirements when evaluating system behavior, logging, and integrations.

  • Understand end-to-end data flows across tolling systems (e.g., roadway data, financial transactions, reporting) and support optimization of integrations.

  • Contribute to cloud cost visibility and optimization recommendations; align operational choices with governance and budget goals.

Collaboration & Communication

  • Partner with architects, developers, DBAs, and engineers to align deployments with secure network and identity configurations; communicate clearly with stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps CI/CD (YAML & Classic).

  • Azure application deployment engineering (e.g., App Services, Functions, Containers, APIs).

  • Secure secrets & key management (Azure Key Vault, RBAC, managed identities).

  • SQL deployment automation integrated with CI/CD.

  • Logging & observability (App Insights, pipeline logs, dashboards, alerts).

  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates).

  • Scripting & automation (PowerShell and/or Python).

  • Experience with Azure administration/engineering in production environments.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience designing CI/CD standards or DevOps frameworks for microservices.

  • Containerization & orchestration (Docker, AKS); registry-integrated build and release pipelines.

  • Governance & compliance automation (Azure Policy, RBAC standards, pipeline guardrails).

  • Experience with PCI or similar compliance frameworks.

  • Exposure to cloud cost analysis and optimization in enterprise environments.

  • Azure certifications (e.g., AZ‑104, AZ‑305, AZ-400) preferred.
Guidelines:

  • Position requires a fingerprint‑based background check;
  • Candidate expected continued education to stay current with VDOT technologies.
