TEKsystems seeks a Cloud Architect in Lansing, MI to lead Azure adoption and mature our cloud operating model. You will define landing zones, governance, and automation to enable secure, cost-effective cloud services with clear ownership and repeatable practices.

The role requires deep Azure expertise, IaC automation (Terraform/ARM/Bicep), and experience migrating or modernizing applications while establishing DevOps and FinOps disciplines. Hybrid work is supported in Lansing.

Deep Microsoft Azure architecture and engineering experience across enterprise landing zones, management groups, subscriptions, networking, identity, compute, storage, platform services, monitoring, and hybrid connectivity.
Advanced infrastructure-as-code and automation experience, preferably with Terraform, Bicep or ARM templates, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines.

Responsibilities

Define and implement an Azure operating model, including landing zones, subscription and resource organization, governance, architecture standards, reusable patterns, and technical guardrails.
Build cloud adoption and migration roadmaps that address application and data dependencies, migration sequencing, cutover planning, operational readiness, and post-migration optimization.
Partner with Infrastructure, Security, Enterprise Architecture, application development, data and analytics, risk, audit, vendors, and managed service providers to make and document cloud architecture decisions.
Establish operational practices for identity and access, network connectivity, monitoring, logging, alerting, backup, recovery, resiliency, incident response, capacity, cost management, documentation, and support handoff.
Provide hands-on technical leadership, mentor engineers, and create standards, reference architectures, runbooks, and training that improve the organizations long-term cloud capability.
