• Architecting Azure Solutions: Design and deliver scalable, innovative cloud solutions that meet business needs.
• Documentation and Deliverables: Develop HLDs, LLDs, Statements of Work (SoWs), and Project Initiation Documents (PIDs).

• Knowledge of Cloud Adoption Framework + Well-Architected Framework
• Strong understanding of Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL).
• Knowledge of application architecture for context when deploying apps on Azure using App Services, Functions, and API Management.
• Solid knowledge of Azure Networking.
• Strong documentation skills, with experience creating HLDs, LLDs, and project plans.
• Experience using Power Platform, Azure AI Services or CoPilot Studio for the creation of internal accelerator tools would be advantageous but not essential.
