Azure Network Seg Implementation

Description We are looking for a Cloud Engineer to support a Contract engagement focused on strengthening Azure network governance in Kansas City, Missouri. This role will evaluate the current cloud networking environment, identify control gaps, and implement policy-based guardrails aligned with defined security standards. The position is ideal for a hands-on, detail-oriented individual who can translate network security requirements into tested Azure Policy configurations and practical enforcement mechanisms.

Responsibilities:

• Assess two Azure subscriptions to understand existing network architecture, security configurations, and control coverage.

• Examine components such as virtual networks, network security groups, routing paths, firewalls, and private endpoints to determine alignment with required standards.

• Identify deficiencies against established network control expectations and document findings with clear supporting evidence.

• Design, build, and validate Azure Policies that audit and enforce network-related security requirements.

• Integrate policy deployment activities into CI/CD workflows to support consistent and repeatable implementation.

• Establish and test guardrails for key boundary areas, including administrative or internet-facing access, private access to platform services, routed traffic through hub or security layers, and exposure of public network configurations.

• Produce organized technical documentation covering assessments, policy logic, test results, and compliance evidence.

• Work closely with stakeholders to review outcomes, refine enforcement approaches, and support controlled testing within the designated subscription scope. Requirements • Hands-on experience engineering and securing Microsoft Azure environments, with strong knowledge of cloud networking concepts.

• Demonstrated ability to create, test, and deploy Azure Policy for audit and enforcement use cases.

• Solid understanding of Azure networking services, including VNets, NSGs, routing, firewalls, and private endpoints.

• Experience performing security or compliance reviews against defined control frameworks or network standards.

• Familiarity with CI/CD practices and automation approaches that support infrastructure or policy deployment.

• Strong documentation skills with the ability to clearly capture technical gaps, remediation steps, and evidence.

• Ability to work independently in a delivery-focused Contract role while collaborating effectively with client stakeholders. Technology Doesn't Change the World, People Do.®
