  • Deep understanding of identity and access concepts, including SSO, OAuth/OIDC, federation, conditional access, MFA, and privileged identity management.
  • Proficiency with PowerShell for automation, bulk operations, and configuration management in Microsoft 365 and Entra ID.
  • Solid knowledge of M365 security, compliance, and governance capabilities such as DLP, retention, eDiscovery, audit, and safe links/attachments.
  • Exposure to Azure DevOps, GitHub, or similar tools for scripts, pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code definitions for Microsoft 365.
  • Familiarity with container platforms such as Kubernetes or AKS and how they integrate with Entra ID for identity and access control.
