What you’ll be doing

The Azure Solutions Architect supports the Applications Domain Lead to assess, migrate and modernise business applications onto Microsoft Azure. You will work across several concurrent client engagements within Atturra’s Azure migrations program, including Australian Federal Government agencies.

This is a hands‑on role in the applications domain. You will run discovery and assessment activities, contribute to migration designs and documentation, and help delivery teams move applications through rehost, replatform, refactor and rebuild treatments, with guidance and mentoring from the Domain Lead.

It suits someone with a solid application development or technical analysis background who wants to grow into cloud solution architecture. Some engagements involve Protected‑level systems and require an active AGSVA security clearance.

Based in Canberra, it’s also a non‑negotiable requirement to have an active AGSVA NV1 Security Clerance for the successful candidate.

Responsibilities:

Application discovery & assessment

• Conduct application discovery with business owners, product teams and IT, capturing architecture, dependencies, integrations, data flows and hosting.
• Assess applications for cloud readiness and recommend a migration treatment using Microsoft’s eight Cloud Adoption Framework strategies (retire, retain, rehost, replatform, refactor, rearchitect, rebuild or replace) for review by the Domain Lead.
• Interpret Azure Migrate and other discovery outputs, including dependency mapping, to inform wave planning.
• Maintain the application inventory, assessment records and treatment decisions for each client.

Design & documentation

• Contribute to solution designs, migration plans and target‑state architecture for individual applications.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation, including design documents, runbooks and cutover plans.
• Help develop and follow Standard Operating Procedures and reusable patterns across engagements, so lessons from one client benefit the others.
• Work with engineering squads to migrate applications into the Azure landing zone, including App Services, Azure SQL, Storage, Functions and integration services.
• Support discovery and development for refactor, rebuild and rearchitect treatments.
• Prepare and support testing activities, including functional, performance and user acceptance testing.
• Support cutover, hypercare and handover to operations teams.

Security, governance & compliance

• Apply ASD ISM, Essential Eight and PSPF requirements to application designs and migration activities.
• Contribute evidence and documentation to security assessments and accreditation processes, including IRAP.
• Identify and raise application‑related risks, issues and dependencies with the Domain Lead.
• Work directly with client application owners, developers and vendors to gather information and coordinate activities.
• Collaborate with the Cloud Platform & Infrastructure and Networking & Security domains, Project Services and Migration Factory teams.
• Communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Balance priorities across multiple concurrent client engagements, keeping the Domain Lead informed of progress and blockers.

Working Conditions:

• On‑site at client premises, with some flexibility depending on engagement
• Open to Canberra / Sydney / Melbourne
• Permanent, full‑time
• Must hold an active AGSVA security clearance (NV1 minimum)
• Reports to the Applications Domain Lead, Azure Migrations

What will make you successful in this role?

Technical Requirements

Must‑have:

• 5+ years’ experience in application development, technical analysis or solution design, ideally on the Microsoft stack (.NET, SQL Server).
• Hands‑on experience with Azure application services such as App Services, Azure SQL, Storage, Functions or Logic Apps.
• Working knowledge of cloud migration strategies (Microsoft’s 8 Rs) and how to assess an application against them.
• Ability to analyse an unfamiliar application: its architecture, dependencies, data and integrations.
• Familiarity with DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitLab or GitHub).
• Clear technical writing and documentation skills.
• Confident engaging with client stakeholders, and able to manage your time across multiple engagements.
• Microsoft certifications such as AZ‑204, AZ‑104 or AZ‑305.
• Exposure to Azure Migrate, Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform or Bicep).
• Awareness of ASD ISM, Essential Eight, PSPF or IRAP, or experience in Australian Government environments.
• A tertiary qualification in software engineering, computer science or information technology.
