Job description

Cloud Architect (Azure)

Location: Remote (U.S.)

Preference: Middle Tennessee candidates preferred

Type: Direct Hire

Compensation: $170,000 Base Salary

Travel: Minimal travel, occasional trips to Louisville, KY as needed

We're looking for a Cloud Architect to help lead a major infrastructure transformation within a healthcare environment.

The organization is in the middle of bringing technology services in-house and moving away from a long-standing managed environment. A big part of that effort involves evaluating existing workloads, determining what belongs in Azure, and helping build a long-term cloud strategy that makes sense for both the business and its clinical operations.

This isn't a role where you'll inherit a large architecture team. We're looking for someone comfortable operating independently, making recommendations, and helping establish best practices as cloud capabilities continue to grow.

If you've led Azure initiatives, assessed legacy workloads, and enjoy helping organizations modernize their infrastructure, this is the kind of opportunity where your work will be highly visible.

Evaluate existing infrastructure and determine cloud readiness for Azure migration
Develop cloud architecture standards, roadmaps, and long-term strategy
Partner with infrastructure, security, and business teams on modernization efforts
Lead architectural decisions around Azure services, governance, scalability, and resiliency

Assist with acquisition-related integrations and cloud planning
Create architecture documentation, standards, and implementation guidance
Advise leadership on cloud adoption, modernization priorities, and technology investments

What We're Looking For

Healthcare industry experience is required
7+ years of infrastructure, cloud, or enterprise architecture experience
Strong Azure architecture experience in large environments
Experience evaluating and migrating on-prem workloads to Azure
Experience creating cloud strategy, governance models, and architectural standards
Strong understanding of Microsoft cloud technologies and ecosystem services
Experience working directly with technical and business stakeholders
Ability to operate independently and drive initiatives forward
