What this job asks for AI summary
A mid-level engineering role focused on three overlapping domains: deploying and governing AI-powered tools (using platforms such as Microsoft Copilot and Azure OpenAI), building workflow automation using Microsoft Power Platform and scripting, and maintaining cybersecurity controls across Microsoft 365 and Azure environments. The position suits someone with one to five years of IT or cloud experience who wants to work across AI, automation, and security rather than specialise in just one.

Why we read it this way (8)
This role spans three roughly equal pillars — AI/automation, cybersecurity, and cloud/infrastructure — making SOC classification genuinely ambiguous. Information Security Analysts (15-1212) was chosen as the primary code because cybersecurity controls, Zero Trust, vulnerability management, and compliance frameworks (NIST CSF, CIS Controls) are explicitly called out as core responsibilities; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the runner-up given the heavy AI and automation scope that doesn't fit neatly into any single code.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The 1–5 year experience range and the largely assistive/support framing ('assist in', 'participate in', 'support implementation') point to a Junior-to-Mid level role despite the broad scope. Seniority is set to Junior given the lower bound of the stated range and the assistive language throughout.
All certifications (AZ-900, AZ-104, AI-900, SC-900, SC-200, CompTIA Security+, CySA+, ISC2 CC) are listed under 'Preferred Certifications' and described as 'desirable,' so none are marked as required.
All technical skills beyond Microsoft 365 administration and Azure experience appear under the 'Preferred Technical Skills' section and are therefore not hard gates.
The role is headquartered on Long Island with offices in CT, NYC, NJ, and LA; no remote option is mentioned. The CBSA reflects the primary Long Island/NYC metro area (New York-Newark-Jersey City).
Workflow automation is listed as a required experience item ('Experience implementing workflow automation or scripting solutions') but no specific tool is named in the required section — specific tools (Power Automate, Logic Apps, PowerShell, Python) appear only under Preferred Technical Skills.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): workflow automation, Azure API Management.
