Full-Time

We’re looking for a Cloud Solution Architect (CSA) to help customers migrate, modernise, and secure their infrastructure, applications, and data on Microsoft Azure, laying the foundation for scalable, production-ready AI solutions. As part of the Cloud + AI Infrastructure team, you’ll deliver engagements focused on migration, modernisation, operational excellence, and resilient architecture using frameworks like Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Well-Architected Framework (WAF).

You will:

• Leverage repeatable IP and execution engines for critical milestones.
• Ensure infrastructure, application, and database readiness for AI workloads.
• Drive successful deployments that accelerate adoption.
• Build trusted relationships with customer IT leaders and act as the Voice of the Customer, collaborating with Microsoft engineering teams to remove blockers and share insights.

• Cloud Migration Approaches: Assessment, planning, design, and execution phases; understanding workloads, RPO/RTO, and migration paths (rehost, replatform, rearchitect).
• Landing Zone Design: Secure, scalable, modular environments; hub-and-spoke architecture; platform vs. application landing zones.
• Connectivity Models: Internal (hub-spoke) and external (on-premises to cloud); DRG, VCN attachments, ExpressRoute, VPN types; Azure and other vendor technology mapping.
• Database Migration: Options for moving to Azure, limitations, and alternative platforms; assessment of customer requirements and available services.
• Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity: DR strategies (pilot light, warm standby, active/passive), RPO/RTO definitions, and distinction between availability zones and true DR.
• Name Resolution: Methods for unifying DNS across on-premises and cloud, delegation vs. forwarding, and secure handling of service endpoints.
