Site Reliability Engineer / SecOps Engineer Offline

Project Description:

The project focuses on managing and optimizing hybrid cloud infrastructure across Azure and AWS environments, with a strong emphasis on security, automation, and operational efficiency. Responsibilities include deploying and maintaining scalable systems, automating infrastructure using tools like Ansible and PowerShell, and ensuring compliance with industry standards such as NIST CSF 2.0 and SOC2. The role also involves incident management, access control, identity governance, and close collaboration with DevOps, IT, and security teams to enhance performance, availability, and security of cloud environments.

Responsibilities:

Generic Accountability:
Work with stakeholders to continuously optimize system performance and operational processes.
Ensure that access control policies and procedures are properly implemented and maintained.
Collaborate with IT infrastructure teams to ensure high availability, scalability, and security of the environments.
Respond to incidents and work with developers and IT teams to resolve production issues in a timely manner.

Deployment and Automation:
Automate deployment and monitoring tasks using tools such as Ansible, AWX, and PowerShell.
Manage infrastructure configurations across cloud environments using automation and scripting (e.g., Bash, Python, Az PowerShell).
Ensure efficient updates, patches, and rollouts across Azure and AWS environments.

Infrastructure Management:
Manage cloud resources on Azure (e.g., Management Groups, IAM, RBAC, VMs, Networking, Entra ID, Key Vault) and AWS (e.g., IAM, EC2, Workspaces, Systems Manager).
Integrate and manage Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) tools and processes.
Maintain and improve infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform experience is a plus).

Monitoring and Incident Management:
Set up and manage monitoring solutions (e.g., NewRelic) to track system performance and security events.
Proactively monitor system health and respond to alerts and incidents across hybrid cloud platforms.
Implement log management and monitoring for security compliance and threat detection.

Security and Compliance:
Apply and enforce security best practices aligned with NIST CSF 2.0, SOC2, and AZ-500 standards.
Patch and secure infrastructure components regularly (e.g., Active Directory, OKTA, Azure/AWS services).
Support Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Security Operations (SecOps) initiatives.

Collaboration and Documentation:
Work closely with cross-functional teams including DevOps, IT Infrastructure and Security teams.
Document infrastructure configurations, procedures, and troubleshooting guides for internal use.
Provide knowledge sharing sessions and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

Mandatory Skills Description:

3+ years of experience
Strong hands-on experience with Ansible and AWX for automation.
Proficient scripting skills in PowerShell, Az PowerShell, Bash, and Python.
Expertise in Azure (Management Groups, IAM, RBAC, VMs, Networking, Entra ID, Key Vault).
Working knowledge of AWS (Identity Center, IAM, EC2, Workspaces, Systems Manager).
Familiarity with DevOps tools: VSCode, Git, GitLab CI, JFrog Artifactory.
Experience with Identity Governance and Administration (IGA).
Experience with NewRelic or similar monitoring tools for security and performance.
Solid knowledge of Active Directory and OKTA.
Hands-on experience with virtual desktop infrastructure (e.g., Horizon View).
AZ-500 certification or equivalent knowledge of Azure Security practices.

Nice-to-Have Skills Description:

Experience with Terraform or similar IaC tools.
Familiarity with NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and SOC2 compliance standards.
