- Security, Identity & Compliance:
- Configure and maintain enterprise authentication via Azure Active Directory / Entra ID, SAML/SSO, and Active Directory Domain Services.
- Enforce role-based access controls (RBAC), secure storage of workflow credentials, and isolated sandbox execution environments.

- Maintenance, Automation & Disaster Recovery:
- Automate administrative maintenance routines, service health checks, and log archiving using PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Python.
- Plan and execute platform upgrades, security patching, and environment migrations (Dev / Test / Prod) while ensuring version compatibility with client tools (Alteryx Designer).
- Maintain disaster recovery procedures, high-availability setups, and scheduled backups of MongoDB application databases.
