Job description

Founded in March 2019 and headquartered in Melbourne, we are a leading technology consulting business specialising in digital transformation for mid-size, government, and enterprise businesses. Our origins are in AI, and we proudly deliver marketing-leading AI solutions to customers in partnership with Microsoft, as one of their top AI partners.

With 5 Microsoft partner solution designations and 10 specialisations, we are the fastest-growing strategic partner of Microsoft ANZ and the 2024 Microsoft Australian Partner of the Year Award winner. We are also among the few GitHub Verified Partners in the ANZ region.

What you’ll do:

This role provides Azure Consulting services to our customers, primarily focusing on Azure Infrastructure services such as landing zones, compute, and networking. Designing and building customised solutions in alignment with the CAF is our aim. We aim to provide modern alternatives to infrastructure solutions.

This role involves servicing multiple customers each month, each with unique goals and maturity levels. While it is positioned within our Managed Service department, it focuses on building new services or enhancing existing ones for both Managed Services and non-Managed Services clients.

You will be responsible for gathering customer requirements, formulating technical solutions, and building solutions through to production. Performing proof of concept (PoC) solutions and stress testing them is a common part of the role.

We seek an experienced Azure Consultant with broad exposure to Azure services, capable of working independently to drive customer outcomes. The ideal candidate enjoys varied tasks and possesses excellent organisational, prioritisation, and time management skills.

Open to applications from VIC/NSW/QLD candidates.

Our ideal person will have:

• Broad experience with Microsoft Azure services
• Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining Azure Infrastructure such as networking and compute
• Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), particularly Bicep, using Azure DevOps or GitHub
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Experience leading workshops and gathering customer requirements
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with technical teams, scrum masters, managers, and clients
• Experience with architectural reviews and modernisation opportunities
• A positive, proactive mindset, with the ability to identify risks and lead tasks to resolution

Tech you will use:

• Hub and spoke networking technologies such as Azure Virtual Networks, Firewalls, NSGs, ExpressRoute, App Gateways, VWAN
• Landing zone deployments and workload migration experience
• EntraID (formerly Azure Active Directory)
• Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights
• Virtual Machines, VM Scale Sets, Bastions
• Azure App Services (functions, logic, web apps)
• Azure DevOps, GitHub, Azure Pipelines, Bicep templates
• Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) are highly regarded but not essential

What we offer:

• A people-first culture where everyone’s voice is valued and success is shared
• Regular social events, squad outings, and interest groups
• Focus on learning and development, including a $2,000 L&D budget for certifications, conferences, and growth opportunities
• Home office support with a $2,500 annual hardware allowance

Please note:

• We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds, especially underrepresented groups
• Only candidates with unrestricted local working rights will be considered at this time
• We are not engaging recruitment agencies for this role
