Cloud Architect

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Architect to lead the migration of an existing software platform from a third-party Azure environment into our own Azure tenant. This engagement will require strong architectural judgment, hands‑on technical execution, and the ability to operate effectively with partial documentation and guidance. While there will be some cooperation from the current provider, this will not be a simple lift‑and‑shift migration.

The successful candidate will take end‑to‑end ownership of the migration and help operationalize the platform post‑transition to ensure it is secure, scalable, observable, and supportable.

• Lead the architectural design and execution of migrating application code and cloud infrastructure into a new Azure environment
• Design and implement infrastructure‑as‑code (e.g., Terraform) to provision and manage cloud resources
• Build or refactor CI/CD pipelines to support deployment and ongoing development
• Plan and execute the migration of application data from existing databases into new Azure‑managed instances (data ownership scoped to our organization only)
• Operationalize the platform post‑migration, including:
  • Environment sizing and performance optimization
  • Implementing monitoring, logging, metrics, and alerting
  • Building dashboards to support ongoing operations and incident response
• Collaborate with internal data teams to establish reliable data pipelines into internal reporting and analytics solutions
• Work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to coordinate migration activities and resolve dependencies
• Identify risks, make pragmatic architectural trade‑offs, and independently drive work forward in an ambiguous environment
