Make your mark on an enterprise cloud transformation
Join a forward-thinking technology organization modernizing mission-critical platforms on Microsoft Azure. You'll set the standards, shape the blueprint, and lead governance for high-scale, secure, and cost-efficient cloud solutions. If you love pairing architecture vision with hands-on delivery and influencing decisions across the enterprise, this is your stage.
What you'll do
• Own the blueprint: Define and evolve enterprise architecture standards and reusable reference architectures.
• Lead with Azure depth: Design scalable, resilient, and secure cloud solutions (hybrid + multi-cloud exposure a plus).
• Run governance that matters: Chair architecture reviews, guide solution design decisions, and reduce tech debt.
• Automate everything: Drive IaC (Terraform/ARM/Pulumi), CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/GitLab), and configuration mgmt (Ansible/Chef/Puppet).
• Secure & optimize: Implement best-practice security (IAM/RBAC/Key Vault/Defender), zero-trust patterns, and FinOps cost controls.
• Influence outcomes: Partner with DevOps, Security, Networking, Finance, and Procurement to align tech to business goals.
What you bring
• 7 9 years designing enterprise cloud architectures with strong Azure expertise.
• Proven experience across hybrid on-prem/cloud, cloud networking, security, and governance.
• Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform/AWS (preferred), FinOps principles, and ARB/governance leadership.
• Hands-on with Terraform (or ARM/Pulumi), CI/CD tooling, and automation at scale.
• Excellent communicator who can translate architecture trade-offs for technical and business stakeholders.
Certifications
• Required: Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert
• Preferred: TOGAF and/or ITIL; AWS/Google Cloud Platform Architect (nice to have)
Work setup
• Hybrid model: 3 days onsite / 2 days remote after initial onboarding.
• Must be local to NYC/NJ (approx. 1 hour commute).
Why you'll love it
• Enterprise impact: Your standards and patterns will be adopted across teams and platforms.
• Hands-on leadership: Balance strategy with building - not a pure paper architecture role.
• Modern stack: Azure-first with automation, security, and cost optimization baked in
