• Act as a trusted advisor, providing technical guidance and thought leadership to accelerate cloud adoption across the organization. 

• Support application migration and modernization initiatives, ensuring seamless transitions to the cloud. 

About you  

We imagine that you have experience with cloud development and/or architecture, preferably from an enterprise organisation or a consultant role, advising large organisations on cloud solutions. We appreciate a sound theoretical foundation in infrastructure, computer science, data or IT technician or similar, but it is your personality, accomplishments, and skills that we value the most.  

Key Qualifications 

• You have in-depth knowledge of Azure services, including compute, networking, IAM, storage, and security. 

• Minimum of 5 years experience at the architectural level, including designing cloud platforms and enterprise scale landing zones, defining standards, and ensuring alignment with enterprise security and governance requirements. 

• High proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Bicep, or similar, including hands-on experience working with CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions/Workflows. 

• Strong understanding of Azure security features and knowledge of compliance frameworks such as CIS, NIS or ISO 27001. 

• Experience in implementing guardrails and policies in Azure for consistent and secure infrastructure management and familiarity with the Well-Architected Framework and best practices for cloud governance and security. 

• Experience in cloud migration projects, assessing technical feasibility, and delivering scalable solutions. 

As a person, you have an agile mindset and a can-do attitude. You like taking charge while making sure your colleagues and team are in the loop. You are engaging and collaborative, can lead through others and focus on functional expertise both within cloud design and execution. Your assignments will gain high attention, and because you will work with stakeholders across the business and IT organization, it is important to have great communication and stakeholder management skills as well as business acumen.
