Azure Enterprise Architect

A large financial enterprise is looking for a Cloud Architect to join their Enterprise Architecture group to lead the architecture and strategy for the Enterprise Architect domains, aligning with business & technology goals. in this role, it is expected that you have a deep understanding of the infrastructure & network aspects of Azure as you will be handling the blueprint work. In this role, you will work alongside your peers to help give guidance and direction on the process of how stuff is deployed into the cloud. For example, if a web application is being brought in Azure, you will help the team understand what Azure App Services will be used, how the network should be set up, and how to deploy into VMs. This role is a mix between Solutions Architecture & Enterprise Architecture, all while being in the cloud. This includes defining standards, best practices, patterns, governance (ASB/TRB), etc. Due to the architecture nature of this work, we are not looking for someone that comes from an Application Development background, but rather someone who has a true understanding of the ins and outs of cloud (Disaster Recovery, Infrastructure, Design, Containerization, Storage, etc). This enterprise is entirely in Azure so a technical depth of Azure is required.
