About the role

  • Define and own cloud infrastructure strategy, reference architectures, and platform roadmaps for Azure across compute, networking, identity, data, security, and observability.
  • Design and implement an enterprise-scale Azure Landing Zone (management groups, subscriptions, RBAC, Azure Policy) and governance for multi-tenant SaaS and regulated customers.
  • Architect highly available, multi-region solutions leveraging AKS/Container Apps, App Service, Azure DB for PostgreSQL, Redis, Service Bus/Event Grid, Front Door/Traffic Manager, and CDN.
  • Enable secure private connectivity patterns (Private Link, VNet integration, Azure Firewall/WAF, ExpressRoute/VPN) and champion zero-trust principles with Entra ID and Managed Identity.
  • Establish platform engineering "golden paths" and reusable accelerators: Terraform modules, environment bootstrapping, and CI/CD templates in GitHub Actions.
  • Drive well-architected reviews for mission-critical workloads; translate findings into improvements for reliability, security, performance, and cost with measurable SLOs/SLIs.
  • Implement end-to-end observability using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and Prometheus/Grafana; automate proactive detection and post-incident improvement plans.
  • Partner with Security to implement least-privilege access, PIM, Defender for Cloud, Key Vault, secret rotation, and compliance controls.
  • Define and validate DR/BCP strategies (RTO/RPO), including zone-redundancy, geo-replication, backups, and failover testing.
  • Mentor and coach engineering teams; lead architecture reviews, threat modeling, technical workshops, and author documentation and reference architectures.
  • Evaluate and guide adoption of new Azure capabilities; collaborate with partners and vendors to enhance the platform.

  • Solid grasp of networking and hybrid connectivity (ExpressRoute, VPN), security-by-design, and zero trust.
  • FinOps mindset with demonstrable cost optimization, tagging/chargeback, budgets/alerts, and rightsizing.
  • Proficiency in scripting/coding (PowerShell and one of Python/C#/Go).
  • Nice to have: AZ-305, AZ-400, CKA/CKAD; experience in regulated environments (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR); contributions to public docs/reference architectures.
