Develop cloud architectures that are scalable, resilient, cost efficient, and secure, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and established cybersecurity policies.
Evaluate applications to determine their readiness and suitability for cloud adoption, and create detailed migration strategies and roadmaps.
Produce clear and comprehensive architectural documentation—including Microsoft Visio diagrams—as well as cloud governance models, technical standards, and implementation playbooks.
Hands-on experience with Terraform, Azure ARM, or Pulumi for infrastructure provisioning.
Develop CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline.
Automate configuration management using Ansible, Chef, or Puppet.
Implement cloud security best practices (IAM, RBAC, WAF, NSG, ASG, Service Principals, Managed Identities, Azure Advisor, Defender for Cloud, Key Vault, encryption, monitoring).
Knowledge of zero-trust architectures and cloud security frameworks (CIS, NIST, ISO 27001).
Experience with SIEM tools (Splunk, Chronicle Security) for security monitoring.
Optimize cloud environments for cost efficiency using Azure Advisor, Cost and Billing Management, and general FinOps practices.
Monitor performance and availability using Azure Monitor, Azure Resource Health, SolarWinds.
Implement auto-scaling, caching, and load balancing strategies for cloud workloads.
Strong understanding of vNet design, Hub & Spoke, Peering, Application Gateway, Load Balancers, Traffic Manager, VPNs, ExpressRoute, and hybrid networking.
Configure and optimize CDNs (Frontdoor, Cloudflare, Akamai) for low-latency applications.
Debug and troubleshoot cloud infrastructure, networking, and service-related issues.
Use cloud-native monitoring, logging, and tracing tools (Azure Monitor, Network Watcher) for root cause analysis.
Work closely with cross-functional teams (Network, Server, DevOps, Cybersecurity, Finance, and Procurement).
Translate complex technical concepts into business-friendly language.
Participate in technical discussions, cloud strategy planning, and decision-making processes.

Requirements

Proficiency with Azure Cloud Platform is a must.
