Position Description:
Employees part of this function are responsible for building and operating IT hardware and software resources in on-prem, cloud or hybrid scenarios in support of internal customer needs. They are responsible for a wide variety of activities that operationalize cross functional teams such as capacity planning and resource optimization solutions for one-off and long-term workloads, planning, configuring and maintaining servers (including mainframes), creating virtualized environments, providing analytics services, installing and maintaining specialized tools, etc
Key Responsibilities
- Involved in the design, operation, and maintenance of enterprise servers, including specialty mainframe systems like IBM/LPARS, high performance super computing systems, and general-purpose hybrid and cloud systems, for optimal end-user business operations.
- Research, design, implement and maintain complex infrastructure solutions for internal customer needs such as specialty software, data warehouses, identity access management, event frameworks, containerization and on demand scaling, etc.
- Design and configure secure virtualized environments aligned with enterprise architecture blueprints consisting of virtual machines, virtual networks, high speed and distributed storage systems (SAN, HDFS, SSD, etc.)
- Utilize existing tools or assist in engineering custom monitoring solutions to ensure systems are configured correctly, run efficiently and remain secure against potential threats.
- Monitor and review resources like CPU, memory, storage, and network traffic to ensure effective utilization aligned with expected parameters and to safeguard against runaway costs.
- Resolve bottlenecks and plan for future capacity needs based on resource usage trends. Advise enterprise architecture teams on usage trends to incorporate into future blueprints.
- Route and operationalize Intune logs in Azure: configure Intune Diagnostic Settings to send audit/operational/compliance/device logs to Azure Monitor / Log Analytics, then author KQL queries, alerts, and workbooks for proactive monitoring.
- Build executive-ready insights: create Power BI dashboards fed by the Intune Data Warehouse and/or Log Analytics queries to trend compliance, deployments, and device health.
- Run multi-device queries at scale: use Intune Advanced Analytics – Device query for multiple devices (KQL) to answer fleet-wide questions (e.g., drivers, firmware, crash patterns) and drive remediations.
- Measure update compliance: implement Windows Update for Business reports (Azure Monitor Logs) and craft KQL queries/Workbooks that track patch deployments, failures, and safeguards.
- Deploy and optimize Endpoint analytics: enable data collection, interpret startup/sign-in scores, and turn insights into configuration changes that reduce help-desk tickets.
- Automate with Microsoft Graph: build secure automations
- Create and manage Microsoft Entra app registrations: design least-privilege application permissions/secrets/certificates for Graph integrations; document consent flows and lifecycle.
- Design & develop Azure Workflows: Design, build, and maintain server-less integration workflows using Azure Logic Apps and Azure Function apps to automate business processes.
- Manage Azure substrate for analytics: create and govern Log Analytics workspaces, access control, data retention, and (where needed) data export.
- Secure access with Device Compliance: integrate Intune compliance with Conditional Access to enforce “require compliant device” for key apps while supporting exceptions and staged rollouts.
- Document and mentor: publish runbooks, standards, and KQL/Power BI templates; coach analysts and support engineers.
