About the Role

We are seeking a Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect with a strong software development/programming background to design and deliver enterprise-grade Azure solutions. Unlike infrastructure-focused roles, this position requires someone who has evolved from application development into architecture, with deep expertise in Azure PaaS, application modernization, and cloud- design.

You’ll work closely with business stakeholders, product teams, and developers to translate requirements into secure, scalable Azure solutions. This role is hands-on and strategic, blending architecture design with modern programming and DevOps practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, architect, and implement Azure-based solutions with a focus on PaaS and application services (App Services, Functions, Logic Apps, API Management, Event Grid, Service Bus).

• Partner with developers to modernize legacy applications into cloud- solutions using microservices and containerization (AKS, Docker).

• Lead application migration strategies to Azure, including refactoring and replatforming workloads.

• Develop and enforce governance, compliance, and security standards using Azure AD/Entra ID, RBAC, Conditional Access, Defender, and Sentinel.

• Collaborate with DevOps teams to build CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Bicep.

• Optimize performance, scalability, and cost efficiency of Azure solutions through automation and monitoring.

• Serve as a trusted advisor to stakeholders, presenting architecture roadmaps and solution strategies.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science (required).

• 8+ years in IT with at least 5 years in Azure architecture.

• Prior background as a software developer/engineer (C#, .NET, Java, or similar).

• Strong experience in Azure PaaS (App Services, Functions, Logic Apps, API Management, Cosmos DB, Event Hub).

• Proficiency in modern programming and scripting (C#, Java, Python, PowerShell, etc.).

• Hands-on expertise with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM).

• Solid understanding of microservices, APIs, containers (AKS/Docker), and event-driven architecture.

• Experience designing solutions in hybrid and cloud- environments.

• Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) certification required; additional Microsoft certifications .

Qualifications

• Experience in application modernization and digital transformation projects.

• Knowledge of data platform services (Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Synapse Analytics).

• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to present to both technical and non-technical audiences.
