Apply for this role (opens in a new tab)Position Summary10 Federal is a vertically integrated self-storage company operating 135 properties. Over the past year, the company has shifted from buying third-party software to building platforms in-house, creating a need for someone to own the IT operations and infrastructure layer underneath that work. This is a broad, hands-on role for a company of under 100 people with an outsized technology footprint — the person in this role will own end-user IT, corporate network infrastructure, identity and security administration, and Azure platform operations end-to-end, working closely with the engineering team building the company's in-house platforms.
Key Responsibilities:

- Network & Physical Infrastructure

- Design and maintain a security group and permissioning model that reflects the company's actual organizational structure
- Administer SharePoint, including site architecture and permissions
- Use Microsoft Purview for data governance, retention, and compliance posture
- Own the joiner-mover-leaver process end to end, ensuring access is granted and revoked correctly and predictably
- Serve as the internal tactical counterpart to the company's third-party cybersecurity partner — tuning configurations and rules, administering security tooling layered on the Microsoft environment, and executing remediation
- Azure Platform Operations
- Set and enforce standards for resource group structure, naming conventions, tagging, and role-based access across the company's Azure environment
- Define the repeatable pattern for provisioning and decommissioning development, staging, and production environments
- Own the deployment path so changes are tested in development before reaching production
- Set the model for managed identities, service accounts, secrets, and platform-level security
- Monitor Azure subscription cost and identify opportunities to optimize spend
- Codify and automate infrastructure processes wherever possible
- Backup, Disaster Recovery & Incident Response
- Own the company's backup strategy for the systems and platforms under this role's ownership
- Own the technology disaster recovery (DR) plan, including documented recovery procedures and periodic testing
Contribute technology input to the company-wide business continuity plan; the plan itself is owned by leaders across the business, with the DR plan serving as Technology's component of itTriage and resolve technology incidents, escalating per the organization's incident response plan; this role handles the technical side of incident response and does not own the organizational planAI & Automation
