Key Responsibilities
- Enterprise Architecture & Landing Zones: Design, configure, and manage enterprise-scale Azure Landing Zones aligned with Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Well-Architected Framework (WAF), covering identity, networking (hub-and-spoke/Virtual WAN), governance, and policy management.
- Cloud Migration Execution: Architect and lead end-to-end migration strategies (rehost, refactor, replatform) for on-premises workloads, datacenters, and applications to Azure using tools such as Azure Migrate.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation: Develop production-ready, reusable Infrastructure as Code modules using Terraform to provision and manage cloud infrastructure reliably at scale.
- CI/CD & DevOps Integration: Build and integrate automated delivery pipelines via Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions for continuous infrastructure validation, deployment, and configuration.
- Security & Governance: Implement zero-trust security postures, Azure Policy, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Key Vault secrets management, and centralized monitoring/logging via Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with application teams, infrastructure project managers, and security leads to evaluate technical requirements, produce architectural diagrams, and provide technical guidance.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Experience: 8+ years in IT infrastructure/systems engineering with 4+ years dedicated to Azure cloud architecture and engineering.
- Azure Landing Zones: Proven experience implementing and governing enterprise-scale Azure Landing Zones (CAF-compliant).
- Migration Expertise: Demonstrated success planning and executing complex enterprise migrations to Microsoft Azure.
- Terraform & Automation: Advanced, hands-on proficiency in Terraform (module development, state management, enterprise patterns), alongside scripting skills (PowerShell, Bash, or Python).
- Networking & Security: Strong foundation in cloud networking (VPN, ExpressRoute, NSGs, Azure Firewall, Virtual WAN, Private Endpoints) and identity solutions (Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD).
- Collaboration: Excellent communication and documentation skills, with proven ability to work self-directed in a fully remote team environment.
