Job Summary

We are hiring a Senior Cloud Solution Architect to lead the evolution of our enterprise Azure platform, driving cloud infrastructure strategy, application modernization, developer enablement, and cloud governance. As a senior technical leader, you will define architectural standards, shape platform strategy, and partner across Infrastructure, Security, Platform Engineering, Product, and Application Development teams to deliver secure, resilient, and AI-ready cloud solutions that support business and technology transformation.

This role requires deep expertise in Microsoft Azure, hybrid cloud architecture, Kubernetes, Terraform, cloud networking, DevSecOps, identity and access management, observability, and platform engineering. You will play a key role in advancing cloud-native architectures, infrastructure automation, self-service developer platforms, and modern engineering practices while helping establish the next generation of scalable, secure, and innovative cloud capabilities across the enterprise.

Hands-on Technical Delivery

• Design, build, and operate core platform and infrastructure services end-to-end as reliable, secure, cost-efficient, self-service capabilities across hybrid environments.

• Own production outcomes including reliability (SLIs/SLOs), observability, incident response, security, and FinOps (cost visibility, optimization, and accountability).

• Lead the evolution of the Internal Developer Platform into an AI-first platform by integrating Microsoft Foundry (Azure AI Foundry), GitHub Copilot, and GitHub Enterprise Managed Users.

• Own and evolve the Azure API Management (APIM) platform, including policy design, security, versioning, and developer experience.

• Design and implement identity solutions for client-side applications and Microsoft Entra ID as the identity provider for internal applications.

• Embed security-by-default and FinOps principles across identity, networking, secrets management, and the software supply chain.

• Drive modern delivery practices across CI/CD, GitOps, environment automation, and developer experience.

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Own and continuously evolve the reference architecture, golden paths, and engineering standards for the hybrid on premises + Azure environment, with strong emphasis on security, identity, and cost efficiency.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship through design reviews, code reviews, and direct collaboration with senior engineers across global teams.

• Partner with enterprise architecture, security, product, FinOps, and engineering leadership to align platform direction with business, security, and cost priorities.

What Success Looks Like

• The Internal Developer Platform is more self-service, reliable, secure, cost-efficient, and productive for engineering teams.

• Microsoft Foundry, GitHub Copilot, and GitHub Enterprise Managed Users are integrated and adopted as core platform capabilities.

• Azure API Management (APIM) is well-architected, secure, and delivers a strong developer experience.

• Identity solutions for client-side applications and Microsoft Entra ID for internal applications are well-designed, secure, and consistently applied.

• Architecture and standards are clear, executable, security-focused, and consistently followed across the hybrid environment.

• Platform services support strong reliability, security, and cost posture with reduced operational toil.

• Senior engineers are elevated through high-quality technical guidance and collaboration.
