Monitoring and Logging: Configure and manage comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions using platform-native tools (e.g., Azure Monitor and Azure Log Analytics) to ensure continuous operational health.

Cost Management: Continuously monitor and analyze cloud spending, recommending and implementing optimization strategies (e.g., resource right-sizing, reserved instances, storage tiering) to ensure cost-efficiency.
Incident Response: Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation to respond to, troubleshoot, and resolve critical incidents in a timely manner.

Required Qualifications:

Experience: 3-5+ years of hands-on experience as a Cloud Engineer or similar role.
