Job Title : Senior Azure Cloud Architect
Location: Richmond, VA, Hybrid
Rate : Best competitive rate

Position Overview

The client is seeking a highly skilled Senior Azure Cloud Architect to provide expert guidance on cloud architecture, security, and migration strategies within a complex enterprise environment. The ideal candidate will demonstrate deep technical leadership in Azure while effectively communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

This position requires occasional onsite presence each week. Candidates must also be prepared for a follow-up onsite interview if selected beyond the initial virtual screening.

Important Note:
Candidates must clearly articulate their technical experience during interviews. Submissions should include only candidates who have been thoroughly technically vetted — without the use of AI tools during the vetting process.

Responsibilities

  • Advise stakeholders on Azure cloud architecture and security best practices, including in-place application migrations and refactoring strategies.

  • Develop recommendations for both lift-and-shift and cloud-native transformation from on-premises systems to Azure.

  • Define and validate refactoring approaches within the Azure ecosystem.

  • Conduct testing and proof-of-concept deployments to demonstrate minimum viable architectural solutions.

  • Collaborate with Commonwealth of Virginia (COV), MSI, and partner organizations to align solution design and service offerings.

  • Configure Azure services to support organizational requirements and application modernization.

  • Produce detailed architecture documentation, position papers, and technical guidance.

  • Ensure compliance with enterprise security, resiliency, and operational standards.

  • Sign and adhere to a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
