Job summary

DataSpring is hiring a Senior Azure Architect to lead the design of our Azure platform, including landing zones, networking, identity, resilience, and governance for healthcare data products nationwide. This is a full-time, remote role reporting to the Director, Enterprise Architecture & Infrastructure.

You will shape Azure standards, review vendor designs, and stay hands-on enough to validate a design before adoption.

Qualifications

8+ years in infrastructure or cloud engineering, with at least 5 years designing Azure environments at enterprise scale.
Led an Azure landing zone or platform design in production, with disaster recovery experience; healthcare/regulatory exp preferred.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.
Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) strongly preferred; Azure networking or security specialty certifications are a plus.

Responsibilities

Lead architecture design for Azure platforms and initiatives, including landing zones and hub‑and‑spoke networking.
Design for resilience and disaster recovery across regions at a reasonable cost.
Develop and apply Azure standards through Azure Policy, reference architectures, and reusable infrastructure‑as‑code modules (Terraform; Helm for Kubernetes workloads; Bicep a plus).
Review designs from implementation vendors and partner teams on assigned projects before build, recommend approval, and hold them to the agreed standards through delivery.
Lead network architecture, including private, edge, and global traffic management across regions and maintain DNS, hybrid connectivity, and zero‑trust security across projects.
Partner with Information Security to meet HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST requirements, with strong controls for PHI, identity and access, encryption, and logging.
Manage cloud costs for assigned projects within approved budgets (FinOps): tagging and showback, right‑sizing, reservations and savings plans, and architecture choices that lower run cost.
Design the platform foundations for AI workloads, including Azure OpenAI and AI Foundry capacity, gateways, and secure access patterns.
Implement and improve observability practices (LGTM, OpenTelemetry, Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights) so incidents can be detected, diagnosed, and traced to root cause.
Serve as an escalation point for complex Azure incidents and lead the design fixes that follow.
Mentor engineers on the Architecture and Infrastructure team and raise the team's Azure design skills.
Document architecture decisions and maintain current‑state and target‑state diagrams.
Report weekly status on architecture initiatives to designated DataSpring management.
