Cloud Infrastructure Architect (L3)

Work Setup: Onsite

Shift: Night Shift / EST

About the Role

We are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Architect (L3) who combines strong hands-on engineering skills with architectural and solution-design expertise. This role will design, implement, and standardize cloud and infrastructure solutions across multiple MSP client environments.

This is a hands-on architecture role, not a traditional ticket-based L3 position.

You’ll Do

• Partner with leadership and clients on cloud and infrastructure architecture decisions.
• Design and deploy Azure infrastructure , including AVD, Azure SQL, file services, networking, and site-to-site VPNs.
• Build and administer Microsoft 365 tenants from scratch.
• Implement Microsoft Entra ID, Intune, and Windows 11 device management.
• Develop and enforce infrastructure, networking, naming, and deployment standards across multiple clients.
• Lead technical discussions, project kickoffs, vendor calls, and complex escalations.
• Troubleshoot advanced cloud, server, networking, identity, and endpoint issues.
• Identify opportunities for automation, standardization, security, and infrastructure improvement.
• Work with NinjaOne and ConnectWise Manage within the MSP environment.

You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in Cloud Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, Systems Engineering, or Solutions Architecture.
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure, AVD, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Intune.
• Experience deploying Azure SQL, file services, networking, and VPN solutions.
• Proven experience building Microsoft 365 tenants from the ground up.
• Strong understanding of Windows Server, Active Directory, networking, security, and endpoint management.
• MSP experience and familiarity with NinjaOne / ConnectWise preferred.
• Strong client-facing communication and technical leadership skills.
• Ability to take a high-level objective and independently design and implement the right solution.
• Amenable to working onsite in BGC, Taguig.

The Ideal Candidate

You are more than an escalation engineer - you are someone who can design the solution, make architectural decisions, lead implementation, and create scalable standards across multiple client environments.
