Job Description

About the Role

We’re looking for an Azure Cloud Architect who thrives on design and collaboration. This role is less about day-to-day administration and more about shaping the blueprint of our cloud landscape. You’ll be responsible for designing secure, scalable, and resilient solutions in Microsoft Azure, creating high-quality documentation, and partnering closely with our DevSecOps team to ensure seamless delivery and governance.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design of cloud architectures across Azure’s core services, with a focus on scalability, resilience, and compliance
• Translate complex business and security requirements into clear, actionable cloud designs
• Develop and maintain detailed architecture diagrams, standards, and technical documentation that guide engineers and stakeholders.
• Collaborate with DevSecOps engineers
• Provide architectural oversight on cloud deployments, ensuring designs are implemented correctly and consistently.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership and project teams, advocating for cloud best practices and cost optimization strategies

What We’re Looking For

• Deep expertise across Microsoft Azure core services: networking, compute, storage, identity, databases, monitoring, and security
• Strong background with Azure application services: Logic Apps, Function Apps, and App Services, with an ability to integrate them into broader solution designs
• Solid understanding of cloud governance frameworks (e.g., policies, RBAC, cost controls)
• Experience with multi-region designs, disaster recovery patterns, and hybrid connectivity
• Excellent written communication skills; able to produce diagrams, decision trees, and design docs that teams can rely on
• A mindset oriented towards collaboration, mentorship, and cross-functional influence

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with regulated industry frameworks (CMMC, FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.)
• Prior work as part of an engineering team
• Exposure to advanced serverless and integration patterns, such as Durable Functions, Event Grid, or Service Bus
