  • Participate in the migration of systems from on-premises and AWS to Azure, ensuring smooth transitions and optimal performance.
  • Provide technical leadership and guidance to development teams, ensuring adherence to best practices and architectural standards.
  • Engage in initial workshops to outline the program's scope, objectives, and architectural direction, offering expert insights and recommendations.
  • Facilitate seamless integration of various systems and platforms, promoting interoperability and efficient data flow.
  • Monitor and optimize technical solutions for performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness on the Azure platform.
  • Ensure compliance of all technical solutions with relevant security standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for technical architectures, processes, and guidelines to support knowledge sharing and governance.
  • Collaborate closely with other architects, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure cohesive and integrated solutions that meet business needs.
  • Stay informed about the latest industry trends and technologies, incorporating innovative solutions to enhance the program's architecture.

Candidate Profile: Skills & Experience

Each position requires substantial experience in a similar role within a comparable organization. The skill sets will vary across the four available roles.

  • Strong background in system architecture, including data architecture, network/infrastructure architecture, or security architecture.
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting languages commonly utilized in cloud environments.
  • Experience with integration technologies and methodologies.
  • Expertise in optimizing technical solutions for performance and cost-effectiveness on cloud platforms.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of conveying complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, focused on delivering high-quality technical solutions.
