- Administer and optimize core Azure services (subscriptions, resource groups, networking, storage, and compute) to support business requirements in an innovative and cloud-based environment.
- Define and enforce security best practices, including privileged identity management (PIM), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and least-privilege access models, extending these practices to the access and data boundaries of AI service deployments.

- In-depth knowledge of Azure core services (networking, storage, compute, subscriptions/resource governance).
💡 Preferred Qualifications:
