Role Name: Azure Cloud Architect
Location: Princeton, NJ (Onsite)
Duration: 12 Months
About the Role
We’re looking for an Azure Cloud Architect who thrives on design and collaboration. This role is less about day-to-day administration and more about shaping the blueprint of our cloud landscape. You’ll be responsible for designing secure, scalable, and resilient solutions in Microsoft Azure, creating high-quality documentation, and partnering closely with our DevSecOps team to ensure seamless delivery and governance.
What You’ll Do
• Lead the design of cloud architectures across Azure’s core services, with a focus on scalability, resilience, and compliance.
• Translate complex business and security requirements into clear, actionable cloud designs.
• Develop and maintain detailed architecture diagrams, standards, and technical documentation that guide engineers and stakeholders.
• Collaborate with DevSecOps engineers to embed security, compliance, and automation into every stage of the solution lifecycle.
• Provide architectural oversight on cloud deployments, ensuring designs are implemented correctly and consistently.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership and project teams, advocating for cloud best practices and cost optimization strategies.
What We’re Looking For • Deep expertise across Microsoft Azure core services: networking, compute, storage, identity, databases, monitoring, and security.
• Strong background with Azure application services: Logic Apps, Function Apps, and App Services, with an ability to integrate them into broader solution designs.
• Proven experience working with DevSecOps or platform engineering teams, especially around CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and security automation.
• Solid understanding of cloud governance frameworks (e.g., policies, RBAC, cost controls).
• Hands-on knowledge of Azure-native tools: ARM/Bicep, Terraform, Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, and monitoring solutions.
• Excellent written communication skills; able to produce diagrams, decision trees, and design docs that teams can rely on.
• A mindset oriented towards collaboration, mentorship, and cross-functional influence.
Nice to Have • Familiarity with regulated industry frameworks (CMMC, FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.).
• Experience with multi-region designs, disaster recovery patterns, and hybrid connectivity.
• Prior work as part of an engineering team.
• Exposure to advanced serverless and integration patterns, such as Durable Functions, Event Grid, or Service Bus.
