You’ll also have a strong mandate to identify repetitive manual work and replace it with PowerShell, Azure automation, and AI-enabled operational tools.
Working alongside engineering and database teams, you’ll take ownership of your operational queue while escalating issues appropriately and contributing to major incident response.
The position offers the opportunity to help build AI agents for alert triage, log summarization, incident documentation, and other routine operational activities.
Success in this role requires technical depth, operational discipline, clear communication, and a proactive mindset focused on continuous improvement.

• Contribute to root-cause analysis by collecting logs and timelines, documenting findings, and implementing assigned corrective actions.

• Conduct proactive health checks across applications, servers, and Azure resources, including disk, CPU, memory, service status, certificates, and backups.

• Track recurring incidents, raise problem records, perform performance troubleshooting, and help improve long-term system stability.

• Write and maintain PowerShell scripts for provisioning, health checks, reporting, scheduled tasks, cleanup, and other routine administrative activities.

• Build or support automation using Azure Automation Runbooks, Logic Apps, and Power Automate, including appropriate authentication and failure monitoring.

• Contribute to AI-agent initiatives supporting log summarization, alert classification, incident-note creation, and knowledge-base or runbook queries.

• Apply prompt engineering to accelerate scripts, configurations, and documentation while validating AI-generated outputs before production use.

• Administer Windows Server across Azure and hybrid environments, including IIS application pools, bindings, virtual directories, logs, and basic performance troubleshooting.

• Manage SSL/TLS certificates, including renewal, installation, bindings, certificate stores, and expiry monitoring.

• Support high-availability configurations such as Windows Failover Clustering and SQL Server Always On in collaboration with engineering and database teams.

• Follow ITIL incident, problem, and change-management processes through ServiceNow and maintain accurate change documentation.

• Maintain and improve runbooks, SOPs, and knowledge articles, and provide clear shift handovers and stakeholder updates during incidents.

Requirements

• 4–6 years of experience in systems administration, application and infrastructure support, or cloud operations.

• Practical experience with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics, including the ability to read and write basic KQL queries.

• Strong PowerShell scripting skills, with the ability to independently write and modify scripts.

• Experience with ITIL-based incident, problem, and change-management processes and ServiceNow or comparable ticketing platforms.

• Practical experience using AI/LLM tools in a professional environment, with at least one demonstrated example of automating or eliminating manual work.

• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills, with the ability to diagnose technical issues and identify recurring problems.

• Clear written and spoken English, including the ability to communicate technical incidents to non-technical stakeholders.

• Reliable, organized, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership while escalating issues or requesting support when appropriate.

• Required certification: AZ-104 — Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate.

• Preferred certifications include AZ-900, AI-900, ITIL Foundation, MCSA, or an equivalent Windows Server certification.
