About the Position
The Cloud Infrastructure Engineer is responsible for designing, deploying, managing, and optimizing BS&A Software’s hybrid infrastructure across Microsoft Azure and Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI) to ensure high availability, security, resiliency, and operational efficiency. This role is focused on infrastructure engineering across cloud and on-premises environments, including compute, storage, identity, backup and disaster recovery, network connectivity, and related platform services.
This position serves as the internal owner of Azure governance through Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), including management group design, subscription topology, policy assignments, and tagging standards. The Cloud Infrastructure Engineer configures and supports Azure services, Azure Local platforms, and core network and security infrastructure, including Palo Alto firewalls and Cisco network equipment, and supports migration, modernization, and ongoing operation of legacy and current workloads in hybrid environments.
The Cloud Infrastructure Engineer collaborates with security, infrastructure, and IT operations teams to implement secure, scalable, and supportable solutions that align with BS&A’s business objectives, operational requirements, and compliance expectations. This role also serves as the internal technical counterpart to third-party infrastructure and network partners, ensuring designs, configurations, and handoffs are validated, documented, and supportable in-house. The position requires strong hands-on Azure and networking expertise, sound operational judgment, and the ability to work independently on complex technical assignments.

  • Hands-on experience designing, deploying, and supporting Azure infrastructure, including Virtual Machines, Storage, Virtual Networks, backup and disaster recovery, monitoring, and identity services.
  • Experience supporting hybrid environments that integrate on-premises infrastructure with Azure, including Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI), Windows Server, Hyper-V, hyperconverged infrastructure, or comparable virtualization platforms preferred.
  • Experience implementing and managing Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), including management groups, subscription structure, Azure Policy, and governance guardrails.
  • Strong experience with enterprise networking, including routing, switching, VLANs, VPNs, DNS, load balancing, segmentation, and firewall policy management.
  • Hands-on experience administering and troubleshooting Palo Alto firewalls and Cisco network infrastructure.
  • Experience designing and supporting Azure networking components, including Virtual Networks, VPN Gateways, ExpressRoute, Network Security Groups, Azure Firewall, and hybrid connectivity.
  • Experience implementing and supporting identity and access controls using Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, RBAC, Privileged Identity Management, and hybrid identity integration.
  • Experience supporting Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), including host pools, session hosts, scaling, profile management, and security baselines, preferred.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot in enterprise environments, including endpoint compliance architecture, provisioning guardrails, and Conditional Access integration.
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation using PowerShell and Azure CLI; Python experience is a plus.
  • Experience with infrastructure standardization, repeatable deployment methods, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates preferred.
  • Familiarity with Azure cost management, performance monitoring, and capacity planning, including tools and practices used to optimize cloud spend and operational efficiency.
  • Experience supporting core hybrid infrastructure services, including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and file services, preferred.
  • Experience working with third-party infrastructure or network partners, including reviewing designs, validating configurations, and receiving technical handoffs.
  • Experience supporting infrastructure for multi-tenant hosted or SaaS environments, including tenant isolation, high availability, segmentation, and security controls for customer-facing workloads, preferred.
