Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Architect to lead the migration of an existing software platform from a third-party Azure environment into our own Azure tenant. This engagement will require strong architectural judgment, hands-on technical execution, and the ability to operate effectively with partial documentation and guidance. While there will be some cooperation from the current provider, this will not be a simple lift-and-shift migration.

The successful candidate will take end-to-end ownership of the migration and help operationalize the platform post-transition to ensure it is secure, scalable, observable, and supportable.

Key Responsibilities

• L

  ead the architectural design and execution of migrating application code and cloud infrastructure into a new Azure environment
• Design and implement infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) to provision and manage cloud resources
• Build or refactor CI/CD pipelines to support deployment and ongoing development
• Plan and execute the migration of application data from existing databases into new Azure-managed instances (data ownership scoped to our organization only)

• Operationalize the platform post-migration, including:

  • Environment sizing and performance optimization

  • Implementing monitoring, logging, metrics, and alerting

  • Building dashboards to support ongoing operations and incident response

• Collaborate with internal data teams to establish reliable data pipelines into internal reporting and analytics solutions
• Work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to coordinate migration activities and resolve dependencies
• Identify risks, make pragmatic architectural trade-offs, and independently drive work forward in an ambiguous environment
