#LI-VK1
Requirements
Customer is building an enterprise-scale internal developer platform designed to eliminate infrastructure friction. Our goal is to provide application teams with a seamless experience that balances speed and flexibility with strict security, compliance, and cost governance.
As a Senior Azure Architect, you will be a key contributor to the standards and patterns that power this platform. You will design the standardized architectures that allow clients’ engineering teams to deploy complex, production-ready workloads securely and reliably. You will bridge the gap between infrastructure operations and developer experience, ensuring our cloud architecture scales effectively with the business.
Job responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
- Enterprise Architecture Design: Develop and refine reference architectures for our compute runtime, analyzing workload requirements to determine the best fit across Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Apps, and Azure App Service.
- Resilience & Disaster Recovery: Architect robust Tier 1 systems capable of Active-Active multiregion deployment (RTO <4hr). You will design failover patterns for data layers (PostgreSQL Flexible Server, Cosmos DB, Redis Enterprise) and traffic management.
- Network & Security Architecture: Design secure networking fabrics, including Hub-and-Spoke models, Private Link/Endpoints, and DNS strategies. Implement «Security by Design» using Entra ID (Managed Identities, Federated Credentials) and rigorous policy enforcement.
- Standardization & Governance: Translate complex infrastructure requirements into reusable, policy-compliant patterns. You will ensure that every deployment meets our strict standards for observability (Azure Managed Grafana), logging, and cost controls.
- Subject Matter Expertise: Act as a primary resource for Azure expertise, consulting with application teams on modernization strategies, database optimization, and cloud-native best practices.
Required Skills & Experience
- Expert Azure Knowledge: Deep understanding of the Azure control plane and service portfolio. You know the limits, quotas, and architectural trade-offs of AKS, App Service, Networking, and Storage.
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform): Strong proficiency in Terraform. You understand how to architect modular, reusable, and testable infrastructure code for enterprise environments.
- Advanced Data Patterns: Experience designing high-availability data solutions using Azure SQL/PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB (Multi-region write/read), and caching strategies.
- Network Engineering: Strong grasp of Azure networking fundamentals, including Virtual Networks, Application Gateways, Azure Front Door/Traffic Manager, and private connectivity.
- Production Operations: Experience with observability stacks (Application Insights, Azure Monitor, Prometheus) and designing for day-2 operations.
- Security & Identity: Proficiency with Entra ID OIDC/OAuth flows, RBAC models, and cloud security posture management (CSPM).
Nice to Have
- Experience with Wiz or similar cloud security tools.
- Background in FinOps, including cost anomaly detection and budget enforcement.
- Familiarity with GitOps principles (ArgoCD/Flux) and CI/CD workflows.
- Experience interacting with Azure management APIs.
