Develop cloud architecture standards, best practices, and technical roadmaps that support business and technology objectives.

Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineering teams throughout solution design, implementation, and deployment.

Design cloud environments that prioritize security, reliability, performance, scalability, and operational excellence.

Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and other cloud automation tools.

Support DevSecOps practices by contributing to CI/CD pipelines, automation, monitoring, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Partner with technical and business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into effective cloud solutions.

Evaluate and implement emerging cloud and AI technologies to enhance enterprise capabilities and innovation.

What We're Looking For

Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification.

Experience designing secure, scalable Azure environments and modernizing enterprise applications from IaaS to PaaS architectures.

Strong knowledge of cloud-native architecture principles and Infrastructure as Code, particularly using Terraform.

Experience with Azure services such as Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure SQL, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, Azure AI, Machine Learning, and advanced analytics services.

Experience with cloud automation tools including Azure CLI, ARM templates, Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible.

Knowledge of CI/CD platforms such as Azure DevOps and GitHub.
