Solutions Architect - Azure Microservices

As an Architectural Designer, your primary responsibility will be to engage with Business Stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into scalable and robust Solution Designs. This will involve Data Modelling, API Design, Infrastructure Design, and App Integration. Having experience in building multi-tenant applications will be advantageous for this role. You will be expected to follow a Cloud First Approach by designing and implementing cloud solutions using Azure native resources, including PaaS, SaaS, and IaaS. Collaboration is key in this role as you will closely work with cross-functional teams such as developers, product managers, and operations staff to ensure seamless integration and alignment with business objectives. Security and Compliance are critical aspects of the job, and you will need to ensure that Solution Designs meet compliance requirements by obtaining approval from the Enterprise Architecture Team and InfoSec team. Additionally, you will provide technical leadership by acting as the Subject Matter Expert during Requirements Gathering, Issue Triaging meetings, and 3rd Party Software evaluations. Key skills required for this role include strong hands-on experience in implementing Microservice based Solutions, expertise in Azure services like Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Functions, Azure Blob Storage, Azure SQL, Azure APIM, and Application Gateways. A good understanding of OWASP Vulnerabilities, microservices architecture principles, containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and API design is also necessary. Moreover, hands-on experience with design and modelling tools such as Visio, Draw.io, Lucidchart, and Erwin will be beneficial. Your key responsibilities will involve designing cloud-native architectures using Azure PaaS/IaaS (AKS, Functions, APIM, Blob, SQL, etc.), leading API, data, and infrastructure design, ensuring security and compliance (OWASP, InfoSec), and collaborating with cross-functional teams while acting as a technical SME. Must-have qualifications for this role include hands-on experience with microservices and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), strong expertise in Azure, and familiarity with architecture tools like Visio, Draw.io, Lucidchart. Additionally, having an Azure/Cloud Architect certification, exposure to EPC domain, and knowledge of TOGAF ADM would be considered nice-to-have for this position.,
