What You'll Do

IronArch Technology is seeking an Azure API Management System Administrator to support a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) program that runs an enterprise API Management platform in Microsoft Azure. The platform connects VA's Microsoft Dynamics 365 applications to the systems around them, so its availability, security, and performance matter to every team that depends on it.

You will keep the platform healthy and secure, working alongside the developers who build and ship APIs on it. This is a hands-on operations role for someone who knows Azure deeply, works comfortably in DevOps pipelines, and understands what it takes to run infrastructure in a regulated Federal environment.

• Remediate security vulnerabilities from scans, assessments, and audits, track them to closure, and keep the platform aligned with VA security standards and compliance requirements.

DevOps & Release Management

• Build and maintain infrastructure and configuration automation using Azure DevOps or comparable tooling.
• Support release management so changes reach production safely and predictably.
• Coordinate platform changes with development and test teams, and participate in Agile ceremonies.

Operations & Documentation

• Monitor platform health, performance, and capacity, and act before issues reach consumers.
• Troubleshoot production issues across the platform and the services it connects through to root cause.
• Maintain clear documentation for platform configuration, runbooks, and operating procedures.

Requirements

• 3+ years of system administration experience.
• Deep, hands-on expertise in Microsoft Azure architecture and administration, including API Management, networking, identity (Microsoft Entra ID), and monitoring.
• Advanced DevOps skills, including CI/CD with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, infrastructure as code (ARM, Bicep, or Terraform), and scripting (PowerShell or Azure CLI).
• Experience with patch management and vulnerability remediation.
• Working knowledge of how Microsoft .NET applications are deployed and hosted in Azure.
• Git-based source control.
• Familiarity with Agile development methods and release management processes.
• Experience working with government clients or in highly regulated environments.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain operational risk to non-engineers.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Comfortable using AI assistants as a working tool for scripting, troubleshooting, and documentation.
• Able to set an example for the team on where AI tools help and where they do not.

Preferred Experience

• Administering Azure API Management in production.
• Supporting Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Dataverse integrations.
• Operating systems under a Federal Authority to Operate (ATO) or similar compliance model.
• Supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs or other Federal agencies, especially in a complex multi-vendor program.
• Microsoft Azure certifications (for example, Azure Administrator Associate, DevOps Engineer Expert, or Solutions Architect Expert).

Clearance Requirements
