Job Description

Job DescriptionCloud Architect

Location: Remote

Type: Full Time – 37.5 hours per week

We are seeking to optimise our established Cloud deployment, built on Azure, to provide an AI-augmented agile cloud platform that responds quickly to demand from service users, making it “easy to do business” with Ramsay – for patients, clinicians, and partners. Working alongside colleagues in our “Digital & Technology” function, along with trusted partners in the infrastructure, data, integration, and AI spaces, you will have great opportunities to lead and shape the future of Ramsay.

The role

As Cloud Architect, you will maintain the cloud platform and the roadmaps of adding new cloud capabilities and collaborate with the business on the adoption of solution designs servicing both clinical and technology areas using cloud platform services and tools.

What you will do

1. Govern and manage the cloud architecture for all existing and new services and/or platforms.
2. Design and build end-to-end cloud architectures.
3. Reduce the “time to market” for business initiatives by providing digital technology solutions based on (Azure) commoditised cloud services and capabilities.
4. Understand and recommend utilisation of cloud architectures (IaaS, PaaS, CaaS, SaaS) based on business requirements to simplify business application architecture and operating models.

What you will bring

You should demonstrate a good understanding of the “Azure cloud adoption” and “Azure well-architected” frameworks, with prior experience in scaled cloud migration and datacentre exit programs. Knowledge of architecture models, principles, standards (TOGAF, Zachman), project management (waterfall, agile), and service management (ITIL) lifecycle is essential. Azure cloud certification and exposure to cloud providers (AWS, Azure), service models, diverse technical configurations, technologies, and cloud platform services are highly desirable.

Experience with the following is highly desirable: Infrastructure as Code (Bicep), CI/CD (Azure DevOps), Version Control (Git), Scripting (PowerShell, Azure CLI), and Automation (PowerAutomate). Knowledge of Entra ID, virtual network topologies, Azure Firewall, ExpressRoute, VPN, App Services, API Management, Databases, Data Factory, Databricks, Storage, and Azure AI Services is also beneficial.
