Enterprise Azure Architect - AI Automation

Remote

Contract

Key Responsibilities

- Define and govern the target-state architecture for the application, including platform boundaries, reference patterns, integration principles, and architectural guardrails.

- Architect cloud-native, event-driven solutions on Azure across ingestion, extraction, validation, workflow orchestration, case management, and downstream system integration.

- Establish reusable patterns for APIs, messaging, workflow orchestration, data persistence, identity and access, observability, and environment design to support scale across multiple lines of business.

- Lead architecture decisions for Azure services such as App Services, Functions, Logic Apps, Event Grid or Service Bus, API Management, Blob Storage, Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL, Key Vault, and Entra ID.

- Drive secure-by-design and control-by-design architecture, including zero-trust principles, private connectivity, RBAC, segregation of duties, encryption, auditability, and regulatory alignment.

- Define non-functional requirements and architecture standards for scalability, performance, resilience, disaster recovery, supportability, and production readiness.

- Partner with product, engineering, security, operations, and business stakeholders to translate business demand into durable platform capabilities rather than one-off solutions.

- Review solution designs, challenge architectural drift, manage key technology trade-offs, and ensure alignment to enterprise standards and the long-term roadmap.

- Produce transparent architecture artifacts, decision records, and executive-ready communication to support governance, delivery teams, and senior leadership review.

Required Qualifications

- 12+ years of experience in software engineering, solution architecture, or enterprise architecture, with substantial experience in architecting enterprise-scale platforms.

- Strong experience designing cloud-native solutions on Microsoft Azure, including application, integration, data, identity, networking, and security architecture.





- Proven expertise in distributed systems, event-driven architecture, API-first design, microservices-aligned patterns, and asynchronous integration.

- Deep knowledge of architecture patterns for workflow orchestration, human-in-the-loop processing, rules-driven decisioning, and operational case lifecycle management.

- Hands-on familiarity with Azure services such as App Services, Functions, Logic Apps, Event Grid or Service Bus, API Management, Storage, Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL, Key Vault, Monitor, and Entra ID.

- Experience defining architecture for secure and regulated environments, including private networking, role-based access, audit trails, data protection, resilience, and disaster recovery.

- Strong understanding of CI/CD, infrastructure as code, environment strategy, and production governance for enterprise platforms.

- Ability to work across business, product, engineering, and governance stakeholders and convert ambiguous demand into clear architectural direction.

- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to create high-quality architecture documents, present trade-offs, and influence senior stakeholders.

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with architecture for intelligent document processing, OCR/extraction pipelines, or AI-enabled operational platforms, including services such as Azure AI Document Intelligence.

- Familiarity with architecture for regulated, high-volume operational workflows that require strong auditability, explainability, and human-in-the-loop controls.

- Experience designing platforms that support multi-line-of-business reuse through configuration, modular services, and well-defined platform boundaries.

- Understanding of enterprise data architecture, lineage, canonical data models, and integration patterns across systems of record and operational platforms.

- Experience working through enterprise architecture, security architecture, risk, and production governance review processes in large organizations.

- Relevant Azure or architecture certifications are a plus.
