  • Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership and project teams, advocating for cloud best practices and cost optimization strategies

  • Deep expertise across Microsoft Azure core services: networking, compute, storage, identity, databases, monitoring, and security
  • Strong background with Azure application services: Logic Apps, Function Apps, and App Services, with an ability to integrate them into broader solution designs
  • Solid understanding of cloud governance frameworks (e.g., policies, RBAC, cost controls)
  • Experience with multi-region designs, disaster recovery patterns, and hybrid connectivity
  • Excellent written communication skills; able to produce diagrams, decision trees, and design docs that teams can rely on
  • A mindset oriented towards collaboration, mentorship, and cross-functional influence


Nice to Have
