Full Time • Johns Creek, GA

DigiOffice is seeking a Senior Azure & Kubernetes Platform Engineer with deep investigative, architectural, and security expertise to take ownership of a complex, mature Azure environment that has evolved over 3.5 years with limited governance. The low-hanging fruit is gone. What remains requires an engineer who can think architecturally, work independently, and make sound decisions in the absence of documentation.
The right candidate has built Azure environments from the ground up, understands what good governance looks like, and has direct experience cleaning up and securing Azure estates where consultants left behind broad Owner access, undocumented resources, and ungoverned infrastructure.

This is a 100% on-site role in Johns Creek, GA. Remote or hybrid candidates will not be considered.

Key Responsibilities
Investigative & Remediation Work
  • Map and document relationships between applications, Storage Accounts, Service Buses, APIs, and Resource Groups across a complex, partially undocumented Azure estate.
  • Identify ownership of orphaned applications, services, and resources left behind by departed consultants and vendors.
  • Discover and remediate publicly exposed Storage Accounts, unauthenticated applications, and improperly secured resources.
  • Assess legacy authentication methods and develop modernization roadmaps aligned to least-privilege and Zero Trust principles.
  • Prioritize remediation activities and outage windows while balancing business continuity requirements.
Governance & Security
  • Design and enforce subscription governance, Resource Group structure, RBAC policies, and Azure Policy assignments.
  • Identify and remediate over-permissioned identities including accounts with broad Owner or Contributor access.
  • Audit and clean up service principals, app registrations, and managed identity assignments.
  • Implement private endpoints and enforce private access models across Storage Accounts and platform services.
  • Communicate security remediation plans, architectural impacts, and cost forecasts to both technical teams and non-technical business stakeholders.
Platform Engineering
  • Manage and optimize Azure compute, networking, storage, identity, security, monitoring, and cost across the enterprise environment.
  • Engineer, administer, and troubleshoot Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters — ownership, not just deployment.
  • Diagnose complex infrastructure issues at the network layer including TCP/IP, DNS, routing, load balancing, firewalls, and TLS.
  • Build and maintain Azure infrastructure using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.
  • Administer Azure API Management (APIM) including policy configuration, authentication, and API gateway management.
  • Manage Azure Service Bus architecture including namespaces, topics, queues, and subscriptions.
  • Own Azure cost management including spend analysis, optimization, and cost forecasting for architectural and security improvements.
Required Qualifications
  • 7+ years of infrastructure and cloud engineering experience with deep, hands-on Microsoft Azure ownership.
  • Demonstrated experience remediating and securing a mature, under-governed Azure environment — not solely greenfield builds or migrations.
  • Production AKS / Kubernetes ownership — built and operated clusters, not just deployed applications into them.
  • Expert-level Azure networking: VNets, NSGs, private endpoints, DNS, load balancers, routing, and hybrid connectivity.
  • Direct experience with Azure Storage Account security, APIM, Service Bus, and application dependency mapping.
  • Microsoft Entra ID / RBAC design, audit, and enforcement experience.
  • Infrastructure as Code proficiency — Terraform, Bicep, or ARM.
  • Scripting and automation — PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
  • Azure Monitor / Log Analytics and production troubleshooting experience.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical decisions and cost impacts to non-technical business stakeholders.
  • Strong Linux systems knowledge.
  • This is a 100% on-site role in Johns Creek, GA. Remote or hybrid candidates will not be considered.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Azure certifications — AZ-104, AZ-305, AZ-400, or equivalent.
  • Helm, GitOps / Argo CD, CI/CD pipeline experience.
  • Docker and container runtime expertise.
  • Enterprise-scale Azure Landing Zone experience.
What We Are NOT Looking For
  • Engineers whose Azure experience is primarily ERP deployment, application support, or disaster recovery.
  • Candidates who participated in Azure projects without direct platform or infrastructure ownership.
  • Engineers who require well-documented environments and step-by-step direction to operate effectively.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
