Job Description

The Cloud Architect is accountable for establishing and evolving core cloud platform foundations on Microsoft Azure. This role focuses on building secure, scalable, and repeatable cloud capabilities - so product and data teams can move fast without breaking things. This is a hands-on architecture role with clear ownership of cloud landing zones, identity and access management, secure connectivity, observability, and shared data platform resources.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

Cloud Platform Foundations

• Design, implement, and maintain an Azure application landing zone, including subscription strategy, network topology, security baselines, policies, and cost controls.
• Define and operate cloud architecture guardrails and “golden paths” that enable team autonomy while maintaining platform consistency.
• Own and evolve reference architectures for cloud-native workloads and shared platform services.

Secure Connectivity & Networking

• Design and implement secure network connectivity patterns between Azure and external environments, including Mendix Cloud, private datacenters, and third-party service providers.
• Define standards for network segmentation, private connectivity, ingress/egress control, and traffic inspection.
• Ensure connectivity solutions are resilient, observable, and aligned with security and regulatory requirements.
• Partner with vendors and internal teams to establish clear ownership and operational models for cross-boundary connectivity.

Identity, Security, and Access

• Establish platform-level identity and access management as a shared service, including Azure Entra External ID and brokering with external identity providers.
• Define access models, role-based access control, and trust boundaries across internal and external workloads.
• Work closely with security and governance stakeholders to embed security controls into platform foundations.

Observability & Operational Excellence

• Define and implement platform-wide observability standards (logging, metrics, tracing, alerting) across internal and connected external services.
• Embed observability into CI/CD pipelines and engineering workflows to support incident response and operational learning.
• Collaborate with DevOps and platform teams to enable resilience, automated recovery, and operational readiness.

Data Platform Enablement

• Co-own the cloud foundations for the company's data platform, including secure data services, access patterns, and operational guardrails.
• Support high-throughput, reliable, and secure data exchange between internal platforms and external systems.

Architecture Leadership

• Conduct architecture reviews focused on enabling delivery, managing risk, and making clear, timely decisions.
• Produce clear, pragmatic documentation that teams actually use.
• Mentor engineers through hands-on collaboration and by delivering concrete reference implementations.
• Stay current on cloud and platform technologies, evaluating new capabilities where they create real operational or business value.

Skills and Qualifications

• 5+ years’ experience in cloud architecture or senior cloud engineering roles.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with Microsoft Azure (networking, identity, security, IaaS, PaaS).
• Proven experience designing and implementing cloud landing zones and secure network architectures.
• Practical experience with hybrid and multi-environment connectivity (e.g. cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-datacenter, third-party integrations).
• Strong experience with cloud identity and access management, including federation with external identity providers.
• Practical experience implementing platform-wide observability.
• Solid understanding of DevOps practices, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code.
• Experience with container platforms (e.g. Kubernetes / AKS) and cloud-native architecture patterns.
• Ability to balance architectural rigor with delivery pragmatism.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
