Job Title
PBI’s flagship products and services, PBI Axiom, PBI Vector, and PBI Stratus, enable alternative asset managers to address their data challenges in analytics, workflow, governance, and security.
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Azure & Microsoft 365 Platform Engineer. The successful candidate will act as the technical owner of the Azure platform, working closely with external development and engineering partners. They will ensure that deployed systems align with the intended architecture, support secure and stable operations, and improve ownership across Identity and Access Management, Disaster Recovery, and Monitoring and Observability.
Main Responsibilities
- Oversee Azure subscriptions, landing zones, networking, compute, databases, and Microsoft 365 tenant configuration, including dependencies between current and legacy platforms
- Validate deployed infrastructure against documented architecture and security requirements, including ingress, DNS, certificates, and platform access controls
- Review Entra ID, Conditional Access, authentication flows, RBAC, PIM, emergency access, service identities, and guest/B2B and client-facing identities. Ensure least-privilege access, effective joiner/mover/leaver processes, recurring access reviews, and removal of orphaned identities
- Reconcile permissions and access dependencies across Microsoft 365, Azure, Azure DevOps, and applications; oversee Key Vault, secrets, certificates, and rotation
- Assess and improve disaster recovery, including recovery units, shared dependencies, RTOs/RPOs, backups, database replication, point-in-time restoration, and multi-region design. Run restore and failover exercises covering invocation, validation, and return to primary, maintaining runbooks, responsibilities, and test evidence
- Improve service-health monitoring using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, KQL, and Application Insights. Map services to monitoring signals, tune alerts for actionability, routing, and ownership, and distinguish customer-facing status from operational diagnostics
- Troubleshoot production issues across infrastructure, applications, APIs, and integrations, maintaining practical runbooks and technical documentation
- Maintain Terraform configurations, modules, and state; detect configuration drift, support Azure DevOps pipelines and permissions, and develop PowerShell scripts and automation
- Apply Azure Policy and landing-zone guardrails, maintain tagging, naming, and subscription standards, and improve cost management, including telemetry retention and access
- Act as the internal technical counterpart to external providers, constructively challenge proposed changes, and communicate gaps, risks, and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
