We are seeking an experienced Cloud Architect to lead the migration of an existing software platform from a third-party Azure environment into our own Azure tenant. This engagement will require strong architectural judgment, hands-on technical execution, and the ability to operate effectively with partial documentation and guidance. While there will be some cooperation from the current provider, this will not be a simple lift-and-shift migration.

The successful candidate will take end-to-end ownership of the migration and help operationalize the platform post-transition to ensure it is secure, scalable, observable, and supportable.

Operationalize the platform post-migration, including:

Building dashboards to support ongoing operations and incident response
Collaborate with internal data teams to establish reliable data pipelines into internal reporting and analytics solutions
Work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to coordinate migration activities and resolve dependencies
Identify risks, make pragmatic architectural trade-offs, and independently drive work forward in an ambiguous setting
