Azure Cloud Engineer IV

Hanger, Inc. is the world's premier provider of orthotic and prosthetic services and products, and they are seeking a Senior Azure Cloud Engineer IV to architect, implement, and operate secure, resilient cloud platform capabilities. The role involves leading cloud workstreams for acquisitions, managing Infrastructure-as-Code automation, and ensuring operational excellence in cloud services.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement cloud infrastructure and platform services (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) with high availability, security-by-design, and operational excellence
• Own Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and CI/CD automation (Azure DevOps or equivalent) for provisioning, configuration, policy enforcement, and repeatable deployments
• Lead cloud reliability engineering: monitoring/alerting, incident response, capacity planning, patching, and operational runbooks
• Implement backup/DR strategies (Azure Backup / Azure Site Recovery), including routine recovery testing and documented RTO/RPO targets
• Implement identity and access controls (Microsoft Entra ID/AD), RBAC/least privilege, logging/monitoring, and compliance-aligned controls (e.g., SOX/HIPAA where applicable)
• Drive FinOps practices: tagging standards, cost allocation, budget/alerting, and optimization recommendations
• Partner with Cybersecurity, Architecture, and Application teams to define reference architectures, standards, and reusable modules
• Mentor engineers and contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement of cloud operating procedures
• Lead cloud infrastructure and identity due diligence for acquisitions: assess architecture, security posture, operational maturity, risks, and remediation plans
• Execute Day-0 / Day-30 onboarding for acquired entities: landing zone alignment, subscription/tenant onboarding, network connectivity patterns, and identity integration strategy (Entra/AD)
• Plan and deliver cloud migrations and integrations: discovery and rationalization (rehost/refactor/retire), data migration patterns, cutover planning, and rollback strategies
• Establish integration guardrails for acquired workloads: tagging, policies, logging, backup, encryption/key management, and monitoring aligned to enterprise standards
• Coordinate cross-functionally (security, networking, apps, vendor partners) to sequence dependencies, resolve blockers, and manage carve-outs/separations when required
• Provide clear integration reporting: milestones, risks, decisions required, and progress against timelines for IT leadership

Requirements:

• 8+ years of IT experience with 5+ years of hands-on cloud engineering and production operations ownership
• Deep expertise in Microsoft Azure (required); AWS experience is a plus
• Strong Infrastructure-as-Code and automation experience (Terraform required; PowerShell/Python scripting strongly preferred)
• Experience building and operating enterprise cloud governance: landing zones, policy controls, networking patterns, identity integration, and monitoring
• Experience implementing DR/BCP in cloud environments (Azure Backup/ASR) with demonstrated recovery testing
• Strong understanding of security controls and audit/compliance support (e.g., SOX/HIPAA) including logging, access controls, and change management
• Proven ability to lead technical workstreams, influence stakeholders, and deliver outcomes in cross-functional environments
• Experience supporting M&A integration and/or large-scale migrations (preferred; equivalent enterprise integration experience acceptable)
• Epicor and Oracle ERP platform management experience a plus
• Azure certifications (AZ-104 or equivalent; AZ-305/AZ-400 preferred)
• Experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Conditional Access, and identity governance
• Experience with observability platforms and SIEM integrations (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Sentinel, or equivalents)
• Experience with FinOps tooling and cloud cost optimization programs
• Healthcare IT experience and familiarity with HIPAA-aligned controls (preferred)
