Job description

We’re looking for a Cloud Architect (Manager) with expertise and hands‑on experience on Cloud Computing and enterprise technology architecture.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a leading firm whilst being instrumental in the growth of a new service offering.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with clients, business leaders, and technical workstreams to understand business goals, functional needs, and enterprise architecture requirements.
• Lead the architectural design of cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure, ensuring alignment with best practices, security standards, and organizational strategy.
• Architect and oversee the setup, governance, and optimization of Azure DevOps environments across programs and teams.
• Design enterprise‑grade CI/CD architectures supporting on‑premises, hybrid, and Azure‑based solutions.
• Define and guide the implementation of CI/CD patterns for diverse technology stacks (Java, .NET, SQL, Data & Analytics, Power Platform).
• Establish DevSecOps architecture standards and integrate security tools (SonarCloud, Veracode, Fortify, etc.) into delivery pipelines.
• Provide architectural leadership on automation using Terraform or Bicep—including module design, reusable patterns, and infrastructure‑as‑code governance.
• Architect solution orchestration and workflow automation strategies across platforms and tools.
• Define cloud‑native architectures using Azure services such as Logic Apps, Azure Functions, APIM, AKS, Event‑driven designs, and microservices.
• Provide architectural oversight for API design, integration patterns, data flows, and application modernization initiatives.
• Guide teams through solution reviews, architecture governance, performance optimization, and cloud readiness assessments.

Skills and attributes for success

• Strong architecture experience across full‑stack solutions (Angular/React + .NET, or equivalent modern frameworks).
• Deep expertise in Azure cloud services across PaaS, SaaS, and IaaS—including application integration, API management, networking, identity, and security.
• Strong understanding of containerization and orchestration patterns (Docker, Kubernetes, AKS).
• Expertise in Azure DevOps architecture (pipelines, branching strategies, governance, automation workflows).
• Proficiency in infrastructure‑as‑code architecture using Terraform or Bicep, including module libraries, state management, and deployment patterns.
• Experience designing end‑to‑end API architectures, data access layers, and service integration patterns.
• Familiar with enterprise integration frameworks and microservices architecture.
• Solid understanding of SDLC, agile methodologies, and modern delivery models at a program or enterprise scale.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear architectural documentation and client‑facing presentations (PowerPoint, Visio, Word, Excel).
• Experience leading cross‑functional teams, providing technical mentorship, conducting architecture reviews, and guiding technical decision‑making.
• Proven ability to conduct cloud assessments, define cloud transformation roadmaps, and create reference architectures.
• Capability to lead evaluations of emerging tools and technologies, drive proofs of concept, and recommend enterprise‑ready cloud solutions.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills—able to bridge business, engineering, and executive stakeholders.

What we look for

• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 10–14+ years of industry experience, with substantial hands‑on cloud engineering/development background or architecture roles.
• Strong experience with Azure SQL, Logic Apps, Functions, APIM, Web Apps, AKS, and other Azure services.
• Expertise in Azure DevOps, Terraform/Bicep, Kubernetes, Docker, Angular/React, and .NET.
• Experience with NoSQL technologies (Cosmos DB, MongoDB).
• Strong background in designing enterprise CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
• Experience working within CMMI, Agile, SAFE, or similar enterprise delivery methodologies.
• Foster teamwork and lead by example.
• Participating in the organization‑wide people initiatives.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.

Benefits

• Continuous learning: You’ll develop the mindset and skills to navigate whatever comes next.
