- Implement encryption and data masking for data in transit and at rest within Azure backup solutions.

- Configure retention policies and ensure that the backup solutions adhere to organizational policies on data retention, ensuring that critical data is protected while following legal compliance.

- Implement disaster recovery solutions that integrate on-premises and Azure-based workloads, creating hybrid and multi-cloud solutions to support cross-platform continuity.

- Utilize third-party backup solutions (e., Veeam, Commvault, NetApp) integrated with Azure to complement native Azure services and provide enhanced backup and recovery capabilities.

- Leverage Azure Blob Storage, Azure Disk Storage, and Azure Files to implement scalable and cost-effective backup solutions.

- Configure storage policies, tiered storage options, and data replication strategies to ensure efficient backup and recovery processes.

- Continuously evaluate and optimize backup and recovery solutions, ensuring that they meet the evolving needs of the business and technology landscape.

- Identify potential risks, vulnerabilities, and bottlenecks in the current backup and recovery processes and recommend improvements.

- Work with cross-functional teams, including Cloud Engineers, System Administrators, and Network Engineers, to ensure seamless integration of disaster recovery solutions within the broader infrastructure.

- Provide mentorship and training to junior engineers and help them understand Azure-based backup and disaster recovery best practices.

- Document processes, configurations, and troubleshooting steps for team use and future reference.

Technical Skills Required :

- 6 to 8 years of experience working with Azure Backup and Disaster Recovery solutions.

- Strong hands-on experience with Azure Site Recovery, Azure Backup, Recovery Services Vault, and related tools.

- Experience designing backup solutions for virtual machines, SQL databases, file servers, and mission critical workloads in Azure.

- In-depth knowledge of Azure Storage Services, including Blob Storage, Disk Storage, and Azure Files.

- Proficiency in PowerShell and Azure CLI for scripting and automation of backup and recovery processes.

- Knowledge of backup encryption, retention policies, and data protection best practices.

- Strong understanding of business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery (DR) strategies for cloud based workloads.

- Familiarity with third-party backup tools like Veeam, Commvault, or NetApp integrated with Azure
