Responsibilities:
- Advise customers on hybrid cloud strategy using Azure Arc, helping them extend Azure governance, policy, and monitoring across on-prem and multi-cloud resources
- Guide customers through Azure migration planning using Azure Migrate, including assessments, target architecture recommendations, and phased migration roadmaps
- Facilitate CAF and Well-Architected Framework–aligned design sessions to define landing zones, governance models, and operational guardrails
- Provide guidance on Azure networking architectures (VNets, peering, VPN/ExpressRoute, vWAN, firewalls) to support secure, scalable connectivity for migrated and hybrid workloads
- Help customers design backup and recovery strategies with Azure Backup and related services, aligning RPO/RTO objectives with business requirements
- Lead technical workshops and whiteboard sessions focused on core infrastructure modernization, platform readiness, and risk mitigation
- Support customers in developing migration runbooks, reference architectures, and operational playbooks, ensuring repeatable and governed execution
- Collaborate with internal Microsoft teams, partners, and customer stakeholders to keep architectures aligned with business priorities and platform best practices
Requirements:
- 7+ years in cloud infrastructure or solutions architecture, with strong focus on Azure core platform services

- Strong communication skills and the ability to balance technical detail with business impact when advising customers
