The Areti Group is excited to be partnering with a high-growth, innovation-first IT services provider known for delivering world-class digital transformation solutions. We're now looking for a driven and engaging Azure Solution Architect with Innovation & Modernization experience to join their expert team and help lead clients into the next era of cloud-native application services.

Role: Azure Solutions Architect – Innovation & Modernization

Location: Remote (USA)

Employment Type: W2 or C2C

Travel: Up to 25% – attending client meetings, roadshows, and key industry events

Role Overview:

This is not a delivery role, this is your chance to evangelize Azure and be the go-to authority on modernizing enterprise applications!

In this position, you’ll be the front-facing technical expert, helping organizations move away from legacy systems and toward cloud-native architectures on Microsoft Azure.

You'll guide customers through the journey of rehosting, refactoring, rearchitecting, or fully rebuilding their applications for improved agility, scalability, and resilience, often integrating AI and automation for added impact.

This role requires someone who can confidently lead strategic conversations around Azure App Innovation and Modernization, and collaborate closely with sales, marketing, and engineering teams to create compelling demos, discovery sessions, and technical blueprints.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead discovery workshops and technical deep dives focused on application modernization and DevOps.
• Guide clients through the Azure transformation lifecycle, including legacy app assessment, modernization strategy, and solution design.
• Deliver engaging presentations and demos that showcase the value of Azure’s application platform, including App Services, Logic Apps, and Containers.
• Be a trusted advisor, shaping architecture decisions and influencing digital strategies.
• Support business development by contributing to solution proposals, PoCs, and RFP responses.
• Represent the company at industry events, webinars, and roadshows to promote Azure and build brand awareness.
• Stay sharp on the latest trends in Azure App Services, Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, AI, and automation tooling.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Experience in presales, technical consulting, or solution architecture roles.
• In-depth knowledge of Azure App Services and experience helping organizations modernize applications using Azure technologies.
• Confident engaging with both technical teams and senior business stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts.
• Strong grasp of rehosting, refactoring, rearchitecting, and rebuilding approaches to application transformation.
• Hands-on exposure to cloud-native development, microservices, DevOps, and/or QA automation frameworks.
• Microsoft certifications (e.g., AZ-204, AZ-400, AZ-305).
• Background working in a consulting or partner-led environment.

If you're passionate about Azure and excited to help clients reimagine their applications for the cloud, we’d love to speak with you.
