Collaborating with development and operations teams, you will automate infrastructure provisioning and management on Azure. Furthermore, you will provide developers with secure environments to build and test applications, implement tools and processes that enable secure development without local admin rights, and conduct regular security assessments and audits using Azure Security Center. Your role will also involve ensuring that all live data used in non-production environments is obfuscated or anonymized, implementing data encryption, maintaining strict access controls, and performing regular compliance checks to ensure adherence to data protection regulations and internal policies.
