Cloud Strategy and Design

You will be responsible for developing and implementing cloud strategies on the Microsoft Azure platform. Your main duties will include evaluating existing infrastructure and applications for cloud migration, designing secure and scalable cloud solutions, and enforcing cloud governance frameworks. As an Azure Cloud Architect, you will lead the implementation of Azure infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or ARM templates. You will also configure and manage various Azure resources including virtual machines, networking, storage, databases, and identity/security. Additionally, you will be expected to build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate deployment processes and troubleshoot any complex infrastructure issues. In terms of security and compliance, you will need to implement Azure-native security best practices, ensure compliance with industry regulatory standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, and conduct regular security assessments and vulnerability scans. To qualify for this role, you should have proven expertise in cloud computing principles, architecture patterns, and services. Hands-on experience with a variety of Azure services is essential, including Compute (Azure VMs, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Functions), Storage (Blob Storage, Azure Files), Networking (Virtual Networks, Load Balancers), Databases (Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB), Security (Azure Active Directory, Azure Key Vault), and Monitoring (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics). Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and/or ARM templates, a strong understanding of Azure-native security controls, and experience designing for compliance with regulatory frameworks are also required. Ideally, you should hold certifications such as Azure Solutions Architect Expert or other relevant Azure certifications. With at least 9 years of experience, you will play a crucial role in designing and implementing Azure cloud solutions for the organization.,
