The Opportunity

We’re seeking a strategic, hands-on Azure Platform Lead to own application development on Azure and guide the platform’s architecture, governance, and DevOps practices.

 

 

What You’ll Do

  • Own the Azure platform roadmap: reference architectures, landing zones, guardrails, cost management, and governance.
  • Design & build scalable solutions on Azure (App Services, Functions, AKS or containers, API Management, Service BEvent Grid, Azure SQL/Storage).
  • Stand up/optimize DevOps: repos/branching, pipelines, environments, test automation, blue-green/rolling deploys via Azure DevOps or GitHub.
  • Lead Power Platform enablement: advanced model-driven/canvas apps, ALM, solutioning, connectors, environment strategy, and COE patterns.
  • Reliability & security: monitoring/alerting, SLOs, incident response, Key Vault, Entra ID (AAD), network design (VNets, private endpoints).
  • Coach & collaborate with product, security, and business stakeholders; mentor engineers; set engineering standards.
  • Document clearly: patterns, playbooks, and “how-to” guides others can reuse.

 

What You Bring

  • 8+ years in modern application engineering, 5+ years deep on Azure.
  • Proven solution architecture across app, data, integration, security, and networking pillars.
  • Strong DevOps/IaC: Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions; Bicep/Terraform; CLI/PowerShell.
  • Proficiency in at least one core language (e.g., .NET/C#, Node.js, or Python).
  • Excellent communication; ability to influence, simplify, and ship.

 

Nice to Have

  • API design at scale (API Management), event-driven patterns, caching.
  • Data integration (Data Factory/Fabric), observability (App Insights/Log Analytics).
