Position Overview

Seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer/Architect with deep Microsoft Azure expertise to help enhance and stabilize its cloud environment while providing hands-on operational support. This position is being added to supplement an overstretched internal team and support the evolution of the organization’s cloud strategy toward a future-state Cloud 2.0 model. The ideal candidate combines strategic architectural experience with a willingness to actively contribute to daily administration and operational responsibilities.

Evaluate the current Azure environment and identify architectural gaps, risks, and modernization opportunities aligned with the Cloud 2.0 vision.
Design and assist with enhancements to identity and access management, including Conditional Access policies, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and application registrations.
Support Azure Key Vault administration, secrets management, and security hardening initiatives.
Work alongside the internal security team as responsibility for identity and access controls continues to transition and mature.
Deliver senior-level operational support throughout the Azure ecosystem, with a strong emphasis on hands-on execution rather than advisory work alone.
Provide guidance and mentorship to existing Azure team members while helping alleviate operational workload.
Collaborate closely with infrastructure leadership and cross-functional technology teams on ongoing cloud initiatives.

Required Qualifications

Extensive experience serving as a Senior Azure Cloud Architect or Infrastructure Architect.
Strong hands-on expertise with:

Conditional Access Policies
Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
Application Registrations
Azure Key Vault
Proven ability to operate effectively in both strategic architecture and day-to-day operations roles.
Experience supporting large enterprise environments with complex cloud landscapes and limited internal resources.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to partner across security, infrastructure, and business teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience helping organizations evolve from a reactive cloud operating model to a structured, future-state cloud strategy.
Familiarity with manufacturing environments or large-scale industrial enterprises.
